This article describes the scope of vehicle dynamics control application on micro-scale electric vehicle for enhancing its active safety. The use of in-wheel-motor control in various control objectives as active safety devices are stated in the paper. In the first half of the paper, the control systems for enhancing vehicle dynamics are described. The active front steering by using steer-by-wir...

This paper summarizes ongoing work concerning micro-rotorcraft (MRC) – i.e., rotary-wing micro air vehicles (MAV) – research and development. Technology trends involving microelectronic miniaturization, vehicle autonomy systems, electric propulsion and power electronics are contributing to an ongoing revolution in MAV and MRC aerial vehicle concepts and applications. New vehicle configurations ...

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

In addition to air pollution emissions, the transportation sector in the US is responsible for more than 25% of greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the negative impacts of these emissions, primarily on health and the environment, literature of vehicle emissions models is rich. Yet, attempts to synthesize and contrast models of this rich literature are scarce. Contrasting models of gasoline and ele...

Micro-grids have become the building block of modern energy systems, where distributed resources are characterizing feature. The charging operation electric vehicles can be exploited as a flexible load to achieve operational goals micro-grid. In particular case car-sharing fleets, degrees freedom in procedures reduced when compared private users. this work, we illustrate how car sharing fleet i...

using an electric differential (ed) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. despite its reported successes and advantages, the ed has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. in this paper, an electric differenti...

differential steering of in-wheel electric vehicle provides the functions of both active steering and power assisted steering with the coupling control of force and displacement transfer characteristic of system. a collaborative optimization model of the differential power-assisted steering system of in-wheel electric vehicle is built, with steering economy as the main system optimization goal,...
