the aim of this manuscript is to study the implication of aluminium-oxide nanofluid for an amphibious vehicle engine (viable on land and under water) cooling system both analytically and experimentally. to achieve this, a one-dimensional model of the engine cooling system (radiator) is considered through a computational fluid code in which the mass flow rate for a range of the coolant temperatu...

Active chassis systems like braking, steering, suspension and propulsion systems are increasingly entering the market. In addition to their basic functions, these systems may be used for functions of integrated vehicle dynamics control. An experimental platform which aims to study the integration control of steering and braking is designed due to the research requirement of vehicle active safet...

As the traffic problems in urban areas are going to increase traffic surveillance systems based on video are attracted over past decades. These systems are very much useful to monitor and manage various traffic conditions such as traffic management, prevention of accident, also secure transportation .Within this vehicle speed determination on the road is one of the aim. So the vehicle speed det...

Vehicle (bike or car) sharing represents an emerging transportation scheme which may comprise an important link in the green mobility chain of smart city environments. This chapter offers a comprehensive review of algorithmic approaches for the design and management of vehicle sharing systems. Our focus is on one‐way vehicle sharing systems (wherein customers are allowed to pick‐up a vehicle at...

This paper provides the status of the Vehicle Safety Communications-Applications (VSC-A) research project, which was designed to determine if dedicated short range communications (DSRC) paired with accurate vehicle positioning can improve upon autonomous vehicle-based safety systems or enable new communication-based safety applications. This three-year project is a collaborative effort between ...

For future advanced active safety systems, in road-vehicle applications, there will arise possibilities for enhanced vehicle control systems, due to refinements in, e.g., situation awareness systems. To fully utilize this, more extensive knowledge is required regarding the characteristics and dynamics of vehicle models employed in these systems. Motivated by this, an evaluative study for the la...

In cruise control systems, the performance of the controller is important. Hence, in order to have accurate results, the nonlinear behavior of a vehicle model should also be considered. In this article, a vehicle with a nonlinear model is controlled by using a nonlinear method. The nonlinear term of the model is the generated torque of engine, which is a polynomial equation. In addition, feedba...

In-vehicle route guidance systems have seen great development in recent years. They have become an important tool in alleviating congestion in the urban transportation network. As a result of the advantages associated with navigation techniques and popularized digital maps, in-vehicle guidance systems are both economical and useful. In-vehicle route guidance systems are being accepted by more a...
