Accurate detection of the danger of an impending rollover is necessary in order to effectively
use active vehicle rollover prevention. A real-time rollover index is an indicator used for this …

Real-time information about vehicle mass and road slope is important for vehicle handling
and stability control. This paper proposes a two-layer based adaptive parameter estimator to …

In this paper, a new control strategy with robustness for four-wheel steering vehicles is
proposed, which has the decoupling performance while vehicles are steering with varying …

This paper applies Buckingham's pi theorem to the problem of building a scaled car whose
longitudinal and power-train dynamics are similar to those of a full-size high-mobility …

Path planning research plays a vital role in terms of safety and comfort in autonomous
driving systems. This paper focuses on safe driving and comfort riding through path planning …

To circumvent the cost and inherent danger in testing aggressive vehicle controllers using
full-sized vehicles, a scale vehicle testbed has been developed for use as an evaluation tool …

Here it is presented the use of Fractional Order Controllers (FOC) applied to the path-
tracking problem in an autonomous electric vehicle. A lateral dynamic model of a industrial …

There are many situations where physical testing of a vehicle or vehicle controller is
necessary, yet use of a full-size vehicle is not practical. Some situations include …

Dimensional analysis has been very helpful in experimentation of very large or small-scale
engineering systems. A good example would be experimentation on the aircrafts and ships …

This thesis makes a number of new contributions to control and sensing for unmanned
vehicles. I begin by develo** a non-linear simulation of a small unmanned helicopter and …
