...Rongrong Wang; Junmin Wang This paper presents an in-wheel motor fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control method for four-wheel independently actuated (4WIA) electric vehicles. The 4WIA electric vehicle is one of the promising architectures for electric vehicles. While such a vehicle architecture...

...M. de Villiers; N. S. Tlale In this paper, a refined control model for a Mecanum-wheeled mobile robot is developed and presented. Available control models in literature for Mecanum-wheeled mobile robots are based on a simplification which defines the contact point of the wheel on the ground...

...Qiuzhen Qu; Jean W. Zu The steering control laws of commercial three-axle vehicle are studied based on the closed-loop control model of the driver-vehicle-road. The steering characteristics of the three-axle vehicle can be improved through adding the steering of rear wheels. For a series...

... adequate stability and hence provides a useful insight of how active controllers may be structured. For the control design, a number of factors in addition to the stabilization are considered including the actuation requirements, creep forces at the wheel-rail contact, track following as well as robustness...

...Sergio M. Savaresi; Mara Tanelli; Carlo Cantoni In road vehicles, wheel locking can be prevented by means of closed-loop anti-lock braking systems (ABS). Automatic braking is extensively used also for electronic stability control (ESC) systems. In braking control systems, two output variables...

...Xiaorui Zhu; Mark A. Minor; Sungyong Park A distributed robust controller for Compliant Framed wheeled Modular Mobile Robots (CFMMR) is studied in this paper. This type of wheeled mobile robot uses rigid axles coupled by compliant frame modules to provide both full suspension and enhanced steering...

...Seung Kook Jun; Glenn D. White; Venkat N. Krovi Our long-term goal is one of designing land-based vehicles to provide enhanced uneven-terrain locomotion capabilities. In this paper, we examine and evaluate candidate articulated leg-wheel subsystem designs for use in such vehicle systems. The leg...

... conducted for the basic case of fully applied brake, and it is then extended by an analysis of the influence of wheel dynamics in the brake-off case. The analysis results are verified by computer simulations and experiments. 30 03 2004 31 05 2005 vehicle dynamics power transmission...

...Masanobu Nankyo; Tadashi Ishihara; Hikaru Inooka An increase of the deceleration in high-speed and high-density train operations degrades riding comfort and frequently causes wheel skids. This requires an introduction of the control technology to upgrade the control performance of brake systems...

... with and without considering actuator dynamics. Analysis and simulation results show a promising improvement on ride comfort, while keeping suspension strokes and control inputs within bounds and ensuring a firm contact of wheels to road.
