A non-linear quarter car model is used in this study for developing a control algorithmfor an active suspension system. The control method used, is optimal sliding modecontrol, along with feedback linearization technique for compensating the non-linearaspects of the plant. In addition to the work in recent literature that applies thesecontrol methods, estimation of the static suspension deflection, i.e., vehicle sprungmass is performed. Through simulation results, it is shown that correct information ofvehicle sprung mass, compared to taking it as a constant parameter in control design,improves the performance of the controller. This information, in turn, reduces thesprung mass acceleration level and enhances ride comfort.

A design methodology for an anti-lock braking system (ABS) controller for four-wheeled road vehicles is presented. In the study, a flexible approach was adopted considering integration with an integrated active safety system control structure. In the hierarchical control strategy proposed for the ABS controller, a high-level controller, through vehicle longitudinal acceleration-based estimation, determines reference wheel slip values, and a low-level controller attempts to track these reference slip signals...

In this study, a detailed finite element model of a radial automobile tire is constructed for the prediction of cornering force characteristics during the design stage. The nonlinear stress-strain relationship of rubber as well as a linear elastic approximation, reinforcement, large displacements, and frictional ground contact are modeled. Validity of various simplifications is checked. The cornering force characteristics obtained by the finite element tire model are verified on the experimental setup const...

The aim of this paper is to produce control strategies for a large vehicular traffic network model of signalized intersections from Linear Temporal Logic specifications. For this purpose, abstraction and formal control techniques which ensure the correctness of synthesized control strategies are utilized. In addition, in order to solve the scalability problem encountered in formal control of dynamic systems, novel network partitioning methods are developed. The proposed methods guarantee that if each sub-ne...
