nowadays, the use of small vehicles is spreading among urban areas and one sort of these vehicles are three-wheeled vehicles (twvs) which can be competitive with four-wheeled urban vehicles (fwvs) in aspects such as smallness, simple manufacturing, and low tire rolling resistance, fuel consumption and so on. the most critical instability associated with twvs is the roll over. in this paper a ti...

in this study, stability control of a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the front axle, a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the rear axle, and a standard four-wheeled vehicle are compared. for vehicle dynamics control systems, the direct yaw moment control is considered as a suitable way of controlling the lateral motion of a vehicle during a severe driving maneuver. in accordance...

in this paper, the effects of roll center height of mcpherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle is studied first and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual class a vehicle. adams/car software was used for analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center, then optimization proces...

This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific ...

non-linear characteristic of tire forces is the main cause of vehicle lateral dynamics instability, while direct yaw moment control is an effective method to recover the vehicle stability. in this paper, an optimal linear quadratic regulator (lqr) controller for roll-yaw dynamics to articulated heavy vehicles is developed. for this purpose, the equations of motion obtained by the matlab softwar...

in this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called segway pt. this vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. a handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. since segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...

Vertical dynamics modeling and simulation of a six-wheel unmanned military vehicle (MULE) studied in this paper. The Common Mobility Platform (CMP) chassis provided mobility, built around an advanced propulsion and articulated suspension system gave the vehicle ability to negotiate complex terrain, obstacles, and gaps that a dismounted squad would encounter. Aiming at modeling of vehicle vertic...
