ESP can help the road vehicle to improve driving dynamics and prevent accidents which result from loss of control. Based on the theory and account method of Multi-body System Dynamics, the Multi-body System Dynamics model of an A-class car is built by the ADAMS/Car software, which includes steering system, front and rear suspension, braking system, body, and so on. In order to study the handlin...

This paper presents a reduce roll vibration of the full vehicle model with passive suspension systems using vibration absorber to change the dynamic system matrix stat’s eigenvalue. Since using the controller system has been splurged and required to energy consuming, in this research the vehicle body roll vibration has been reduced and supplied vehicle stability using a vibration absorber for t...

Many researches on vehicle planar motion stability focus on two degrees of freedom(2DOF) vehicle model, and only the lateral velocity (or side slip angle) and yaw rate are considered as the state variables. The stability analysis methods, such as phase plane analysis, equilibriums analysis and bifurcation analysis, are all used to draw many classical conclusions. It is concluded from these rese...

This paper proposes a robust gain-scheduled H1 controller for lateral stability control of four-wheelindependent-drive electric vehicles via linear parameter-varying technique. The controller aims at tracking the desired yaw rate and vehicle sideslip angle by controlling the external yaw moment. In the design of controller, uncertain factors such as vehicle mass and tire cornering stiffness in ...

Robotics can play a key role when dealing with environments that are inaccessible or hazardous for humans including ship hulls, bridge installations, oil rigs, and first reponse scenarios. Due to irregular terrain, wheeled vehicles are ineffective at traversing the necessary terrain. Legged systems are a salient solution. However, legged systems require special considerations regarding workspac...

Robotic vehicles are driving at highway speeds using computer vision and other methods to detect the vehicle’s position on the roadway. Several factors affect system performance and stability. In this paper a simple vehicle and path following model is developed. The effect of vehicle understeer, control delay, and other control parameters is investigated and their effect on stability is present...

We study stability of underwater vehicle dynamics for a six-degree-of-freedom vehicle modeled as a neutrally buoyant, submerged rigid body in an ideal fluid. We consider the case in which the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy of the vehicle are noncoincident such that gravity introduces an orientation-dependent moment. Noting that Kirchhoff’s equations of motion for a submerged rigid...

an elliptical tank cross-section is formulated to explore and optimization method, based on a real-coded genetic algorithm to enhance the roll stability limit of a tank vehicle. a shape genetic algorithm optimization problem is applied to minimize the overturning moment imposed on the vehicle due to c.g. height of the liquid load, and lateral acceleration and cargo load shift . the minimization...

For a mobile manipulator to be used in areas such as offices and houses, it is desirable that the mobile platform be small sized. In the case of a small-sized platform, the mobile manipulator may tip over when moving at high speed or executing tasks in the presence of disturbances. Therefore, it is necessary to simultaneously consider both stabilization and manipulation while coordinating vehic...

This paper describes an unified chassis control (UCC) strategy to prevent vehicle rollover and improve maneuverability. In order to detect a danger of rollover, rollover index (RI) which indicates an impending rollover is determined. The rollover index is calculated using estimated roll angle, roll rate and measured lateral acceleration. Lateral and vertical model-based roll state estimators ar...
