Abstract: A multi-objective optimization (MOO) approach is utilized to design a controller for a novel rear-steering technology named “Brake-Actuated Steering” (BAS). This system uses individually controlled brakes to generate ...

Abstract: The problem of reversing vehicles with two trailers could be solved with a semi-autonomous assistance system for automatically steering the vehicle. In the literature found, no controllers have been implemented on a full-size ...

Abstract: A highspeed pathfollowing controller for long combination vehicles (LCVs) was designed and implemented on a test vehicle consisting of a rigid truck towing a dolly and a semitrailer. The vehicle was driven through a 3.5 m ...

Abstract: A novel pneumatic valve was constructed to improve the response of airactuated brakes for heavy vehicles to demand pressures generated during electronically controlled braking by an order of magnitude. Investigations were ...
