A Learning Control, Intervention Strategy for Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics SystemsCho, Sukhwan 03 August 2015 (has links)
The focus of Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics System (LAAVDS) research is to develop a system to avoid situations in which the vehicle exceeds its handling capabilities. The proposed method is predictive, estimating the ability of the vehicle to successfully navigate upcoming terrain, and it is assumed that the future vehicle states and local driving environment is known. An Intervention Strategy must be developed such that the vehicle is navigated successfully along a road via modest changes to the driver's commands and do so in a manner that is in harmony with the driver's intentions and not in a distracting or irritating manner. Clearly this research relies on the numerous new technologies being developed to capture and convey information about the local driving environment (e.g., bank angle, elevation changes, curvature, and friction coefficient) to the vehicle and driver. / Ph.

Estimation of vertical load on a tire from contact patch length and its use in vehicle stability controlDhasarathy, Deepak 30 June 2010 (has links)
The vertical load on a moving tire was estimated by using accelerometers attached to the inner liner of a tire. The acceleration signal was processed to obtain the contact patch length created by the tire on the road surface. Then an appropriate equation relating the patch length to the vertical load is used to calculate the load. In order to obtain the needed data, tests were performed on a flat-track test machine at the Goodyear Innovation Center in Akron, Ohio; tests were also conducted on the road using a trailer setup at the Intelligent Transportation Laboratory in Danville, Virginia. During the tests, a number of different loads were applied; the tire-wheel setup was run at different speeds with the tire inflated to two different pressures. Tests were also conducted with a camber applied to the wheel. An algorithm was developed to estimate load using the collected data.
It was then shown how the estimated load could be used in a control algorithm that applies a suitable control input to maintain the yaw stability of a moving vehicle. A two degree of freedom bicycle model was used for developing the control strategy. A linear quadratic regulator (LQR) was designed for the purpose of controlling the yaw rate and maintaining vehicle stability. / Master of Science

Návrh dynamických modelů pro řízení trakce experimentálního vozidla / Design of dynamic models for traction control of experimental vehicleJasanský, Michal January 2010 (has links)
The Master's thesis deals with the simulations kinematics and dynamics of experimental four-wheeled vehicle with all-wheel steering and all-wheel drive. Suggestion of vehicle stability systems ABS/ASR for traction control is included. There are several dynamics models with their comparison. The estimation of important vehicle parameters is implemented. Based on knowledge the simple vehicle stability system ABS/ASR is created.
