The stability analysis of articulated frame steer vehicle models is presented. To reveal the relationship between the “oversteer” and “jack-knife” motion modes based on a 2 degree of freedom (DOF) and 3 DOF vehicle models, respectively, the results derived from these models are investigated and compared. To identify the effects of design variables on the lateral stability of the vehicle, a more...

This paper focuses on the problem of lateral stability of four hub-motor-in-wheels drive electric vehicle, 7 DOF (degrees of freedom) vehicle simulation model which is verified by field test is established based on Matlab/Simulink software. On basis of simulated model, BP neural network PID torque distribution controller of lateral stability is proposed. The sideslip angle at mass center and ya...

This paper discusses the maneuvering control algorithm based on all-wheel independent driving and steering control techniques for special purpose 6WD/WS vehicles. The maneuvering control algorithms considering superior dynamic characteristics of high power in-wheel motors and independent steering system are designed to perform driving and steering control, vehicle stability control, and fault t...

Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is considered as a key enabling technology to automatically regulate the intervehicle distances in a vehicle platoon to improve traffic efficiency while maintaining safety. Although the wireless communication and physical processes in the existing CACC systems are integrated in one control framework, the coupling between wireless communication reliabil...

Over the last few decades, congested traffic network have become a serious problem in many countries. Congestions result in time losses, increase of fuel consumption and also raise the risk of accidents. Intelligent transportation systems may contribute to mitigate such problems. Advancement together with the reduction in cost of embedded computing, on-board vehicle sensors and wireless communi...
