... of a hydraulic regenerative braking system for hybrid vehicles. The pump in this configuration should function in dual mode, as a pump and as a motor. For this to occur, the swash plate should swing in two opposite directions. The swash plate presented in this paper is designed for stability and ease of control...

...Daegun Hong; Inyong Hwang; Paljoo Yoon; Kunsoo Huh The wheel slip control systems are able to control the braking force more accurately and can be adapted to different vehicles more easily than conventional braking control systems. In order to achieve the superior braking performance through...

...F. Braghin; M. Brembilla; G. Brambilla; M. Pezzola An experimental and numerical experience was carried out to investigate the nonlinear dynamic response of the forecarriage of a motorcycle, paying attention to a particular type of vibration that occurs during the braking. In fact, it was found...

...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...

...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...

... be independently steered, driven, and braked. The inputs to the optimization process are the driver’s commands (steering wheel angle, accelerator pedal pressure, and foot brake pressure), while the outputs are lateral and longitudinal forces on all four wheels. Lateral and longitudinal tire forces cannot be chosen...

... on the use of differential GPS and utilizes a nonlinear longitudinal tire force model. Compared to previously published results in literature, the advantage of the system developed in this paper is that it is applicable during both vehicle acceleration and braking and works reliably for a wide range of slip...

...Luis Alvarez; Jingang Yi; Roberto Horowitz; Luis Olmos An adaptive control scheme for emergency braking of vehicles is designed based on a LuGre dynamic model for the tire-road friction. The wheel angular speed and longitudinal vehicle acceleration information are used to design a fast convergence...

...Steffen Mu¨ller; Michael Uchanski; Karl Hedrick We develop and test a “slip-based” method to estimate the maximum available tire-road friction during braking. The method is based on the hypothesis that the low-slip, low-μ parts of the slip curve used during normal driving can indicate the maximum...

...Mohammad Durali; Baabak Shadmehri A nonlinear comprehensive model has been developed in this paper to study the train derailment and hunting in severe braking conditions. The train consists of cars each having 40 dof, connected to each other by couplers and buffers. The car model is nonlinear...

...Maria Druzhinina; Anna Stefanopoulou; Lasse Moklegaard Modern heavy-duty vehicles are equipped with compression braking mechanisms that augment their braking capability and reduce wear of the conventional friction brakes. In this paper we consider a heavy-duty vehicle equipped with a continuously...
