BACKGROUND Rollover footwear is assumed to provide an enhanced surface over which the body can roll more easily. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rollover footwear on the rollover function of walking. METHODS Twenty subjects walked in three conditions: (i) a MBT shoe (Masai Barefoot Technology) characterized by a stiff sole rounded in the anterior-posterior direction; (...

This paper describes the development of an active roll control system for a tractor semitrailer. The design of the hardware and software are explained. Simulations of the yaw-roll response of the vehicle show that the system will provide significant improvements in rollover stability.

This paper discusses the role of active anti-roll bar system in order to enhance roll stability cars, thereby preventing rollover phenomenon high speed emergency situations. First, an integrated full car model is proposed including longitudinal, lateral, vertical motions and electro-hydraulic actuator model. In this model, control signal being input current which supplied actuators create torqu...

Car rollovers are a class of serious traffic accidents that can easily cause heavy casualties and property damage, particularly for special operation vehicles. To enhance the driving stability vehicles on forest roads, we developed control strategy wire-controlled auxiliary braking based body-attitude detection overall design system. Moreover, system was further investigated developed. A three-...

With the features of high centroid, high load capacity and high aspect ratio, heavy vehicles are prone to rollover when running at high speeds in the corners, so the study of heavy vehicle rollover warning method presents important realistic meanings. In this paper, firstly, the composition of early warning systems is analyzed, and then the principles of rollover warning method based on suspens...

Compared to conventional poly-crystal NCM, single-crystal NCM reveals significantly improved particle stability and less electrode cross-talk, which not only suppresses rollover fading but also improves performance aspects the cycle life up 4.7 V.

The main objective of the proposed research is to improve various stability and handling qualities (such as Roll Over stability, Lane Change maneuver stability etc) of military, off road, unmanned multi-body ground vehicles within as wide operating envelope as possible under the presence of uncertainty in vehicle model parameters as well as under various sensor, actuator and component faults. A...

To improve the handling stability of automobiles and reduce odds rollover, active or semi-active suspension systems are usually used to control roll a vehicle. However, these kinds often take zero-roll-angle as target have limited effect on improving performance vehicle when turning. Tilt control, which actively controls tilt inward during curve, greatly benefits comprehensive it is cornering. ...
