in this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (dde) is presented. the main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. the driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. to induce a risk...

. It is well known fact that system parameters of the flexible structures keep on changing due to several reasons. Ordinary controllers loose their effectiveness in changed situations and do not guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. However, controllers designed based on robust control theory, not only maintain the closed loop stability of the perturbed system with a large variatio...

This paper presents the development of control strategy for the active steering of railway vehicles with independently rotating wheelsets. The primary objective of the active steering is to stabilize the wheelset and to provide a guidance control. Some fundamental problems for active steering are addressed in the study. The developed controller is able to maintain stability and good performance...
