This thesis presents new results in the design and the integration of the active front/rear steering control with front/rear electronic differential in four wheel drive and steering vehicles; an application to vision based autonomous lane keeping control is also deployed. In four wheel steering vehicles it is shown that the lateral speed and yaw rate dynamics can be asymptotically decoupled by ...

Automation can help us to reduce the number of crashes on our roads. Through research it is identified that 94 percent accidents occur are because driver behavior or error as a factor and self-driving vehicles error. High levels automation have potential risky dangerous prevent accidents. The main aim convert manual operated steering vehicle into fully autonomous steering. objective Steering Co...

The aim of this work is the creation of a realistic driver model to help develop new technologies to aid drivers in the execution of their driving tasks. A realistic driver model can reduce the time-consuming trial and error process of designing products, and thereby reduce the vehicle’s development time and cost. The overall goal of this research is to develop an interface between driver and v...

UNLABELLED Shuttle cars are an unusual class of vehicle operated in underground coal mines, sometimes in close proximity to pedestrians and steering errors may have very serious consequences. A directional control-response incompatibility has previously been described in shuttle cars which are controlled using a steering wheel oriented perpendicular to the direction of travel. Some other shuttl...

A robust beamforming with quadratic constraints, formulated as a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem, is proposed in this paper. With this formulation, the constraints on magnitude response can be easily imposed on the adaptive beamformer. And the non-convex quadratic constraints can be transformed into linear constraints. Therefore, the proposed method can be robust against the steering dir...

In this project, image processing techniques are used to develop basic understanding on video recording taken by vehicle’s front-view camera. By post processing on the video recording, the computer is able to extract road sign and traffic light information, and make prediction on how fast the vehicle is moving and steering. The road sign recognition is able to identify most of the signs in the ...

To improve safety on commercial cars, a multivariable Global Chassis Controller (GCC) design, involving braking and steering systems is proposed. In case of emergency (e.g. loss of manoeuvrability), the GCC uses the braking system to handle the problem. But, in case of inefficiency of the braking system (e.g. due to low road adherence, large yaw rate error or actuator failure), detected by a br...

An automated steering controller is proposed to track the target path in this paper. Model predictive control is employed to design the controller based on a 5-state road following bicycle model including the steering actuator dynamics. The adaptive preview time is reduced for an increased path geometry change index due to driving from a straight road into a sharp curve. The preview time is inc...

The design and control of a steering wheel vibration simulator capable of reproducing a set of desired vibration/acceleration signals is presented. The simulator is to be used in characterizing human perception of vibration as transmitted to the hand through the steering wheel. Accelerometers were used to record the acceleration at the top of the steering wheel in both the up-down (z) and side-...
