This book was released on 2005-03-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On average, 60% of the world's people and cargo is transported by vehicle that move on rubber tires over roadways of various construction, composition, and quality. The number of such vehicles, including automobiles and all manner of trucks, increases continually with a growing positive impact on accessibility and a growing negative impact on interactions among humans and their relationship to the surrounding environment. This multiplicity of vehicles, through their physical impact and their emissions, is responsible for, among other negative results: waste of energy, pollution through emission of harmful compounds, degradation of road surfaces, crowding of roads leading to waste of time and increase of social stress, and decrease in safety and comfort. In particular, the safety of vehicular traffic depends on a man-vehicle-road system that includes both active and passive security controls. In spite of the drawbacks mentioned above, the governments of almost every country in the world not only expect but facilitate improvements in vehicular transport performance in order to increase such parameters as load capacity and driving velocity, while decreasing such parameters as costs to passengers, energy resources investments, fuel consumption, etc. Some of the problems have clear, if not always easily attainable, solutions.

This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With respect to the future urban mobility, modern electrical bicycles, advanced motorcycles and innovative two-wheeled vehicles are arresting enormous amount of attention. Especially, model-based control and optimal trajectory planning for such vehicles are important to the research and development of the future. Therefore, a reliable and yet usable vehicle model as well as a systematic approach to motion control for two-wheeled vehicles are essential, to which this work makes a contribution. Currently available two-wheeled vehicle models are mostly either too complex to be used for a systematic control synthesis, or too simple such that the physical behaviour of the vehicle is no more represented. In this thesis, a unifying approach to modelling and control for autonomous two-wheeled vehicles is presented. The resulting model is generally valid and physically detailed enough to represent the characteristic dynamical behaviour such as the self-stability. At the same time, it is suited to a systematic control synthesis. Furthermore, the systematic extenddability, for instance by a rider, is demonstrated. The model is validated by simulations and by comparison to well-known models from the literature. The proposed vehicle model is derived in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian framework and used for model-based optimal trajectory planning. Furthermore, a passivity-based trajectory tracking controller is designed based on the resulting port-Hamiltonian system using the so-called generalised canonical transformations. Such a controller is physically interpretable and robust against parameter uncertainties. To this end, existing approaches of passivity-based controller design are extended and adjusted for two-wheeled vehicles. Finally, a prototype two-wheeled vehicle is introduced which is used for experimental validation of the model and to demonstrate motion control algorithms for autonomous two-wheeled vehicles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the influence of basic vehicle parameters on the lateral dynamics of a four-wheel road-vehicle model. To encompass the majority of the vehicles currently on public roads in the US and other countries, the road-vehicle model in this study uses three different nominal parameter sets corresponding to small, medium and large (S.U.V.) vehicles. Parameter values from each set are changed individually from their nominal values through a finite range, and the effect of these changes on the dynamics of the model are observed. A step-steer and total vehicle velocity of constant magnitude are used as inputs for the model. An analysis where several vehicle parameters are changed simultaneously is used to study parameter interaction. Response characteristics, both transient and steady-state, are chosen as indicators of the lateral dynamics. The governing differential equations of the road-vehicle model are solved using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration programmed in MATLAB - a mathematical programming software. The road-vehicle model in this study is a rigid body approximation that considers the effects of lateral weight transfer on the normal load of the tires. The rigid-body approximation allows this study to have broad scope and applications because the vehicle parameters considered in this study are basic and general to any road-vehicle. The model used in this study does not include characteristics that have to be particular to a specific vehicle, such as suspension system architecture, axle kinematics, compliance, and suspension component stiffness. A piece-wise tire approximation represents the nonlinear lateral force produced by the tires. This tire model is compared with the Magic Formula nonlinear tire model. Simple and multiple regression analysis techniques are used in this study to quantify the observations derived from the results. The results of this study show that the longitudinal mass center position is the most influential vehicle parameter and that its influence on the response characteristics chosen for this study is almost always exponential in nature. Further results suggest that the other vehicle parameters considered in this study influence the response characteristics steady state lateral velocity, steady state angular velocity, and angular velocity overshoot in a way that is approximately linear. The other response characteristics appear to be influenced in a nonlinear way by the simultaneous variation of the vehicle parameters.

Book excerpt: Ride dynamics refers to the vibratory motion of vehicles in response to traversal of irregular terrain. For many military, commercial, and agricultural vehicles operating in an on- and off-road environment, overall mobility is limited by such vibratory motion. Simulation studies of ride dynamics were used for design and evaluation of vehicles. These studies were accomplished through the use of mathematical models that reflect the structure and interaction of vehicles and terrains. An M-37 vehicle was selected for characterization using the Wiener-Bose model.

Download or read book Vehicle Dynamics Stability and Control Second Edition written by Dean Karnopp and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has experience with a car, bicycle, motorcycle, or train knows that the dynamic behavior of different types of vehicles and even different vehicles of the same class varies significantly. For example, stability (or instability) is one of the most intriguing and mysterious aspects of vehicle dynamics. Why do some motorcycles sometimes exhibit a wobble of the front wheel when ridden "no hands" or a dangerous weaving motion at high speed? Why does a trailer suddenly begin to oscillate over several traffic lanes just because its load distribution is different from the usual? Other questions also arise: How do humans control an inherently unstable vehicle such as a bicycle and how could a vehicle be designed or modified with an automatic control system to improve its dynamic properties? Using mainly linear vehicle dynamic models as well as discussion of nonlinear limiting effects, Vehicle Dynamics, Stability, and Control, Second Edition answers these questions and more. It illustrates the application of techniques from kinematics, rigid body dynamics, system dynamics, automatic control, stability theory, and aerodynamics to the study of the dynamic behavior of a number of vehicle types. In addition, it presents specialized topics dealing specifically with vehicle dynamics such as the force generation by pneumatic tires, railway wheels, and wings. The idea that vehicles can exhibit dangerous behavior for no obvious reason is in itself fascinating. Particularly obvious in racing situations or in speed record attempts, dynamic problems are also ubiquitous in everyday life and are often the cause of serious accidents. Using relatively simple mathematical models, the book offers a satisfying introduction to the dynamics, stability, and control of vehicles.
