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...

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...

conclusions the seatbelt wearing rate among the study participants was much lower than the 90% rate reported among iranian drivers in 2010. mandating seatbelt use, as in most countries, will be more effective if a combination of factors such as changes in vehicle design, road safety, and driver and passenger behavior are taken into account. background seatbelts are a relatively low-cost safety ...

The system under investigation is the hydraulically driven large-scale combined legged and wheeled vehicle ALDURO. It combines the advantages of a walking machine with the stability and speed of a wheeled vehicle. It is able to move over rugged terrain. Due to the kinematic constraints arising at the wheel-ground contact, ALDURO is a nonholonomic system which includes several closed kinematic l...

As far as the system of two-wheeled machine is concerned, incorporating a linear actuator to the intermediate body (IB) of two wheeled vehicles has not presented in literature before. This paper investigates development, modeling and control of a novel design of a two wheeled vehicle with additional mobility features allowing an attached payload to move vertically while maintaining the entire s...

This paper presents a novel design of a full six-degree-of-freedom, tri-rotor-actuated single-wheeled vehicle. When stationary on the ground, the model of the vehicle mimics an inverted pendulum system, a typical representative of highly nonlinear systems with non-minimum phase and unstable characteristics. The full nonlinear model of the vehicle is derived using Newton-Euler approach, but the ...
