Linear induction motor (LIM) subway yard line often have very-small-radius curves and small turnouts with “S”-shaped in the middle. The lateral stability of train is low, wheel-climb (slipway) derailments occur at a speed 10 km/h. To study derailment safety limit linear running through line, coupling dynamic model train-track system established, fully considering driving characteristics motor, ...

Policymakers, consumers and manufacturers are all agreed – the auto industry needs to adopt electrification to address climate change and dwindling natural resources – yet we still see very few hybrid and electric vehicles on the road today. Given the will is there, why the lack of adoption? In reality the main reason is not the technology, but rather the cost of developing the technology in th...

Previously we derived a new measure relating the driver's steering wheel responses to the vehicle's heading error velocity. This measure, the relative steering wheel compensation (RSWC), changes at times coincident with an alerting stimulus, possibly representing shifts in control strategy as measured by a change in the gain between visual input and motor output. In the present study, we sought...

Electric vehicle is considered to be the solution for energy crisis and environment pollution in individual transportation. However, electric vehicles are still not competitive with conventional vehicles limited by the driving range with the state-of-art power battery technology. Therefore, energy efficiency is of crucial importance for battery electric vehicles due to the limited stored energy...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate voluntary wheel running behavior in the unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to 2 groups : 6-OHDA group (n=17) and control group (n=8). The unilateral 6-OHDA rat model was induced by injection of 6-OHDA into unilateral medial forebrain bundle using a stereotaxic instrument. Voluntary ...

The possibility to identify with significant accuracy the position of a vehicle in a mapping reference frame for driving directions and best-route analysis is a topic which is attracting a lot of interest from the research and development sector. To reach the objective of accurate vehicle positioning and integrate response events, it is necessary to estimate position, orientation and velocity o...

An automated system is developed to control the rotation of the wheel chair based on touch screen and head movement by the physically challenged person. Independent movement can be done by them with the help of an accelerometer device which is fitted on person’s head and a touch screen is placed with the wheelchair which can be operated by the person [1]. Based on the touch and head movements, ...

This study describes the design and testing of a dual-lane electric drive for a prototype, electromechanically actuated, nose wheel steering system for a commercial aircraft. The drive features two independent motor controllers, each operating onehalf of a dual three-phase motor, resulting in an actuator capable of full performance following an electrical fault. An isolated communications link ...

Based on the line-controlled chassis platform, low-speed outer rotor motor is used to drive wheel directly in designed in-wheel electric vehicle. The power system parameters of four-wheel independent vehicle are matched and simulated by offline simulation. Firstly, based theoretical basis research parameter matching pure vehicles, type selection hub battery carried out according established dyn...

The motor car is a ubiquitous feature of modern life, and most of us spend significant amounts of time in a car, behind the wheel. Driving a vehicle requires complex coordination of cognitive, motor, and sensory skills. All of these aspects can be affected adversely by diabetes per se, with hypoglycemia being the main concern for people with diabetes who drive. Here we introduce the concept of ...
