Integrating Inertial Sensors With Global Positioning System (GPS) for Vehicle Dynamics Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper demonstrates a method of estimating several key vehicle states—sideslip angle, longitudinal velocity, roll and grade—by combining automotive grade inertial sensors with a Global Positioning ...
Lyapunov Based Performance Guarantees for the Potential Field Lane-keeping Assistance System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Active lane-keeping assistance systems hold the potential to save thousands of lives every year, but require an approach that can simultaneously work cooperatively with the driver and provide a ...
“Loop-at-a-Time” Design of Dynamic Surface Controllers for Nonlinear Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of multiple surface sliding controllers for robust control of nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties has produced a number of impressive applications, but also raised a few ...
A Unified Approach to Driver Assistance Systems Based on Artificial Potential Fields
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an approach to vehicle control based on the paradigm of artificial potential fields. Using this method, the dynamics of the vehicle are coupled with the environment in a ...
Brake System Modeling for Simulation and Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents reduced-order models of brake system dynamics derived from a physical modeling perspective. The vacuum booster model combines a static control valve with dynamic air flows, ...
A New Yaw Dynamic Model for Improved High Speed Control of a Farm Tractor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the system identification of a new model for the farm tractor’s yaw dynamics in order to improve automatic control at higher speeds and understand controller limitations ...
Physics-Based Modeling and Control of Residual-Affected HCCI Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a novel combustion strategy for IC engines that exhibits dramatic decreases in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Originally conceived in ...
Dynamic Modeling of Residual-Affected Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Engines with Variable Valve Actuation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One practical method for achieving homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) in internal combustion engines is to modulate the valves to trap or reinduct exhaust gases, increasing the energy ...
Handwheel Force Feedback for Lanekeeping Assistance: Combined Dynamics and Stability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lanekeeping assistance could save thousands of lives each year by maintaining lane position in the absence of driver steering commands. In order to work smoothly with the driver, handwheel force ...
Modeling and Control of an Exhaust Recompression HCCI Engine Using Split Injection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is currently being pursued as a cleaner and more efficient alternative to conventional engine strategies. Control of the load and phasing of combustion ...
