This paper investigates the effect of real-time control system computational delay on the performance of a hybrid adaptive cruise control (ACC) system during braking/coasting scenarios. A hierarchical....
Typically the roll propensity of a vehicle is calculated from the assumption that the vehicle is a rigid body and that its roll propensity can be determined by taking the ratio of the track width and ....
The angle of vehicle principal axes of inertia is one of the basic properties of the vehicle. This paper presents the theoretical analysis concerning the influence of this property on vehicle dynamics....
Vehicle drift is a condition where the driver must apply a constant correction torque to the steering wheel in order to maintain a straight-line course of the vehicle during braking. This paper presen....
Traditionally on-centre steering has been evaluated by a sine wave steering input through-centre. This method is widely used to characterise the on-centre steering characteristics of vehicles. Althoug....
The growing concern surrounding Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) rollover incidences and their consequences have prompted to investigate the sensitivity of critical vehicle parameters on rollover. In this....
Steering Wheel Torsional Vibration (SWTV) at highway speed on smooth roads is one important attribute affecting vehicle refinement. To ensure desirable SWTV performance, achieve the best design compro....
The intent of this research is to understand the effects worn dampers have on vehicle stability and safety through dynamic model simulation. Dampers, an integral component of a vehicle's suspension sy....
With over-constrained suspensions (solid axle rear suspensions with four trailing arms and a track bar), the compliance in the bushings needs to be taken into account in order for the suspension to ar....
The dynamic performances respectively of a front- and a rear wheel drive car on icy and snowy surfaces has been assessed. Winter pneumatic tires, new anti-slip wheelsocks, and snow chains were tested.....
There exists a fairly extensive set of tire force measurements performed on dry pavement. But in order to develop a low-coefficient of friction tire model, a set of tire force measurements made on wet....
Despite substantial efforts, no manufacturer can guarantee that vehicles by themselves will not rollover due to driver induced maneuvers. The complexity of rollover events makes the characterization o....
This paper describes and confirms the effect of low frequency sinusoidal steering torque input on vehicle response and steering behavior using vehicle test, analysis with equations of motion and simul....
This paper presents a detailed experimental analysis of potentials for road condition estimation based on the tire static curve gradient in the low-slip region, and the damping of the 40 Hz tire vibra....
