Download or read book Vehicle Steer by Wire System and Chassis Integration written by Wanzhong Zhao and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-24 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the control-by-wire system, particularly the steer-by-wire system, as well as its control and optimization issues in chassis integration. The steering stability of the vehicle, handling portability, and overall performance of the chassis system are improved by steer-by-wire technology, which includes stability control, road-feeling control, decoupling control, force and displacement coordinated control, and chassis integration optimization. Furthermore, intelligent control goals such as active collision avoidance and active rollover prevention of the vehicle are realized, and the active safety of the vehicle is increased, due to the integrated control of the steer-by-wire system and chassis system. In this book, different types of steer-by-wire systems are introduced, as well as thorough force and displacement control strategies and their implementation in chassis integrated control, ensuring the intelligent and unmanned driving's control reaction speed and precision.

Download or read book The New Global Universities written by Bryan Penprase and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reimagining higher education around the world: lessons from the creation of eight new colleges and universities in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America Higher education is perpetually in crisis, buffeted by increasing costs and a perceived lack of return on investment, campus culture that is criticized for stifling debate on controversial topics, and a growing sense that the liberal arts are outmoded and irrelevant. Some observers even put higher education on the brink of death. The New Global Universities offers a counterargument, telling the story of educational leaders who have chosen not to give up on higher education but to reimagine it. The book chronicles the development and launch of eight innovative colleges and universities in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America, describing the combination of intellectual courage, entrepreneurial audacity, and adaptive leadership needed to invent educational institutions today. The authors, both academic leaders who have been involved in launching ventures similar to the ones described, offer a unique inside perspective on these efforts. Bryan Penprase and Noah Pickus show how the founders of new colleges and universities establish distinctive brands in a sector dominated by centuries-old institutions, secure creative sources of funding, attract stellar faculty and students, and design appealing curriculums and campuses—all while managing tradeoffs and setbacks, balancing local needs and global aspirations, and wrestling with challenges to academic freedom. These new educational institutions include two universities in Asia and the Middle East built by well-established American parent institutions, others in Africa and North America that offer holistic reform from the ground up and leverage new technologies to lower costs, and still others that adapted the American liberal arts model to Asian and African contexts. Their experiences offer lessons for future founders of new universities—and for those who want to renew and rejuvenate existing ones.

Download or read book The Absence of Soulware in Higher Education written by Way Kuo and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ABSENCE OF SOULWARE IN HIGHER EDUCATION The book offers an analytical account of higher education in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mainland China with examples of best practices from higher education in the US for guidance. This book is Professor Way Kuo’s attempt to address issues that remain to be challenges for universities in the globalized 21 Century, namely academic autonomy and freedom, seamless integration between research and teaching, curricula update, innovative and problem-driven research, and adopting best global practices, based on his reflections about higher education from a global perspective through his personal experience as a senior academic leader in the US and Hong Kong. Borrowing from the languages of computer science, this book not only talks about the hardware and software in higher education, which refer to the infrastructure and the physical entities that provide an environment conducive to good teaching and research, it also highlights the importance of a third category for achieving great success: the presence of a certain mindset, a willingness to embrace due process and follow international standards and procedures or a vision in making the best use of the hardware and software to spearhead innovation in combining teaching and research for the benefit of students and the well-being of society. Such a mindset is called the soulware of higher education. Specifically, this book: Covers four key areas where a lack of proper soulware or mindset is deterring the advancement of higher education: internationalization; seamless integration of teaching and research; quality and evaluation; and creativity and innovation; The author’s arguments are factual and comments are critical on what is perceived to be less desirable or a failure in higher education; The book offers useful insights into the future and a global perspective on trends, challenges, and opportunities in higher education. Audience Educators, policymakers, higher education providers and administrators, global stakeholders of higher education including students and parents, and the general public in both the East and the West who have an interest in global higher education.
