The yaw moment control is the most efficient method for improving vehicle handling and stability. A corrective yaw moment should be applied to the vehicle in order to modify the dynamic behaviour of vehicle. This corrective yaw moment is related to the interaction between the tires and road. Therefore generating corrective yaw moment independent from the tire-road interactions is noteworthy. In...

A system that enables continuous slip compensation for a Mars rover has been designed, implemented, and field-tested. This system is composed of several components that allow the rover to accurately and continuously follow a designated path, compensate for slippage, and reach intended goals in high-slip environments. These components include: visual odometry, vehicle kinematics, a Kalman filter...

In this paper, a 3D computer vision application and a wireless sensor application are presented. They were used in an experimental study on electric vehicle driving to analyse the influence of age on driving style in roundabout scenarios. The 3D computer vision application uses the Kinect device to achieve face tracking of the driver. From the pith, roll and yaw angles of the face, the gaze can...

We report a unique case of penetrating foreign bodies following motor vehicle accident with airbag deployment. The patient presented evidence facial trauma and was found to have three retained on imaging. Notably, one body within the sphenoid sinus. This removed uneventfully through endoscopic sinus surgery. doing well at follow-up visits. concluded that were steering wheel accessories, which d...

Anti-slip control, as a fundamental technique of vehicle stability prevents loss control vehicles, especially under extreme driving conditions. However, current methods fail to suppress slippage when steering. Therefore, new anti-slip approach for four-wheel independent-drive electric vehicles (EVs) based on the energy method is proposed. This makes full use distribution motor between body and ...

This paper presents a nonlinear PID neural controller for the 2-DOF vehicle model in order to improve stability and performances of vehicle lateral dynamics by achieving required yaw rate and reducing lateral velocity in a short period of time to prevent vehicle from sliding out the curvature. The scheme of the discrete-time PID control structure is based on neural network and tuned the paramet...

Active tilting vehicles tilt to the inside of corner when vehicle is steering. The motion improves steering and roll stability vehicle. mechanism are connected in parallel. transmission influenced by movements mechanism. In order solve this problem, a parallel proposed paper. It consists spatial A mathematical model with wheel alignment parameters has been established. calculates decoupling con...

In this paper, we propose a new method and instruments to identify the torque, the power, and the efficiency of internal combustion engines in transient conditions. This method, in contrast to the commonly used non-demounting methods based on inertia and strain gauge dynamometers, allows controlling the main performance parameters of internal combustion engines in transient conditions without i...
