Download or read book Vehicle Simulation written by Alfred T. Lee and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the problem of fidelity in the design of virtual environments with specific reference to the design of vehicle simulators. The default design goal has been on the physical replication of a given real-world environment and, in the case of vehicles, the specific appearance and function of vehicle components. This book discusses that perceptual, rather than physical, fidelity of a virtual environment, should be the design goal and the principal purpose is to produce human behavior. This book provides the rationale and design guidance to maximize perceptual fidelity in the development of virtual environments, and therefore maximize the costeffectiveness as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decades, there has been a substantial increase in the development of complex active safety systems for automotive vehicles. These systems need to be tested for verification and validation to ensure that the system intervenes in the correct situations using the correct measures. There are multiple methods available to perform such testing. Software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop testing offer effective driverless testing. Other methods increase the fidelity by including human drivers, such as driving simulators and experiments performed at test tracks. This thesis examines vehicle-in-the-loop testing, an innovative method where the driver of a real vehicle wears a head-mounted display that displays virtual targets. This method combines the benefits of driving simulators with the benefits of using a real vehicle on a test track. Driving simulators offer repeatability, safety, and the possibility of complex interactions between actors. In contrast, the real vehicle provides the correct vehicle dynamics and motion feedback. There is a need to know how the technology behind the method might influence the results from vehicle-in-the-loop testing. Two techniques for vehicle-in-the-loop systems are studied. The first involves video-see through head-mounted displays, where the focus of the research is on the effects of visual latency on driving behavior. The results show that lateral driving behavior changes with added latency, but longitudinal behavior appears unaffected. The second system uses an opaque head-mounted display in an entirely virtual world. The research shows that this solution changes speed perception and results in a significant degradation in performance of tasks dependent on visual acuity. This research presents results that are relevant to consider when developing vehicle-in-the-loop platforms. The results are also applicable when choosing scenarios for this test method. Dagens fordon innehåller fler och fler säkerhetssystem. Vissa av dessa system ger varningar i potentiellt kritiska trafiksituationer. Det finns också mer komplexa system som tillfälligt kan ta kontroll över fordonet för att förhindra en olycka eller åtminstone mildra effekterna. Komplexiteten hos dessa system innebär att man måste genomföra omfattande tester. Både för att se att systemen reagerar vid rätt tidpunkt, men också för att se att valet av åtgärd är korrekt. Det finns många olika sätt att testa dessa system. Man börjar vanligtvis med simuleringar av programvara och hårdvara. Därefter kan systemet introduceras i ett fordon för att se vilka effekter systemet har när det interagerar med en riktig förare. Att utföra tester med förare ställer dock höga säkerhetskrav, och det är ofta svårt att samordna komplexa trafiksituationer på en testbana. Traditionellt har körsimulatorer varit ett naturligt alternativ eftersom de kan utföra komplexa scenarier i en säker miljö. Denna avhandling undersöker en testmetod där man utrustar föraren med en virtual reality-display. Genom att presentera omvärlden med hjälp av virtual reality, så kan man genomföra scenarion som tidigare varit omöjliga på en testbana. Det kan dock finnas inbyggda begränsningar i virtual reality tekniken som kan påverka körbeteendet. Det är därför viktigt att hitta och kvantifiera dessa effekter för att kunna lita på resultaten från testmetoden. Att känna till dessa effekter på körbeteendet dessutom kan hjälpa till att avgöra vilka typer av scenarier som är lämpade för denna testmetod. Det är också viktig information för att avgöra var man bör fokusera den tekniska utvecklingen av testutrustningen.

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: Passive and active safety systems (ABS, ESP, safety belts, airbags, etc.) represent a major advance in terms of safety in motoring. They are increasingly developed and installed in cars and are beginning to appear in twowheelers. It is clear that these systems have proven efficient, although there is no information about their actual operation by current users. The authors of this book present a state of the art on safety systems and assistance to driving and their two-wheeled counterparts. The main components constituting a driving simulator are described, followed by a classification of robotic architectures. Then, a literature review on driving simulators and two-wheeled vehicles is presented. The aim of the book is to point out the differences of perspectives between motor vehicles and motorcycles to identify relevant indicators to help in choosing the mechanical architecture of the motorcycle simulator and appropriate controls. Contents 1. Driving Simulation. 2. Architecture of Driving Simulators. 3. Dynamics of Two-Wheeled Vehicles. 4. Two-Wheeled Riding Simulator: From Design to Control.

Book excerpt: This thesis presents the development of an immersive, high-fidelity virtual reality (VR) cycling simulator, where one can ride a stationary bicycle in a simulated virtual environment and interact with other road users (e.g., drivers). Inspired by driving simulators, a VR cycling simulator has potential to become a valuable tool for conducting traffic safety research involving bicyclists. The hardware and software development and integration were described in detail as a reference for others that may want to build similar systems. The VR simulation includes a representation of a real-world urban environment with a road network, and utilizes a VR headset coupled with an appropriate stationary bike system setup. The first phase of development was focused on an immersive, interactive simulator, in which users are able to control their movements within the virtual environment. They control their speed by pedaling the stationary bike and can steer using buttons on the handlebar-mounted controllers. This aspect of the simulator is instrumental in applications that require observing participants' cycling behaviors in a safe, virtual environment. Validation was performed to ensure the cycling simulator functioned at realistic speeds and in accordance with the user's input. The second development phase focused on a use case for driver education and training, presented through a variety of common dangerous bicyclist encounters programmed into VR scenarios. Drivers who have limited bicycling experience can experience these scenarios in a safe, virtual setting to better understand the bicyclist's perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Present day mechatronic systems are designed with synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics and computer technology to produce intelligent devices for the purpose of solving real-world problems. Crucial requirements for a mechatronic system are robustness and fault tolerance, i.e. it should have the ability to process incomplete, imprecise or uncertain information. Such systems often have to work in collaborative environments while being subjected to adverse conditions yet adhering to strict safety standards. This e-book explains the fundamentals of designing such systems from the first principles and how to embed intelligence into them. Examples in this volume are not restricted to production lines, but extend to extreme safety based systems such as space and underwater robotics, autonomous transportation systems, aviation systems and medical robots. Moreover, this e-book also presents recent developments in the design of innovative and intelligent mechatronic systems, applied to robotics and transportation systems, thereby providing an authoritative support for researchers and professionals having basic knowledge in mechatronics.

Book excerpt: The feedback control and modeling of a mobile robot with two wheels that are independently steerable and drivable is studied. Two-wheel steer vehicles increase their maneuverability when both wheels are powered and therefore increases their performance in confined spaces. A dynamic feedback control algorithm is developed, which enables the vehicle to move from any initial configuration (position and orientation) to any final configuration. Simulation results are presented to verify the independent control of the two position variables and the orientation variable. A comparison with a two-wheel steering and one wheel drive vehicle shows that driving both wheels increases performance and maneuverability.
