This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-speed testing procedures for evaluating the lateral stability of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHV) include the use of both an open-loop and a closed-loop maneuvers as specified in ISO-14791. The standard testing procedures are used to determine the Rearward Amplification (RA), which is a well-accepted performance measure for the lateral stability of MTAHVs. The open-loop testing maneuver includes the use of a single cycle sinewave steer input, while the closed-loop procedure prescribes a single lane-change path, following which a driver drives a testing vehicle. The closed-loop single lane-change maneuver can be performed by a human driver for in-vehicle tests. In numerical simulation, a driver model may be used to drive the virtual vehicle under the closed-loop maneuver for simplicity and repeatability. Very little attention has been paid to investigating into the interactions of driver-MTAHV. It has been reported that a driver is typically at fault in many heavy vehicle accidents, and many studies focus on improving the dynamic performance of the vehicle and ignore the driving skills of the driver. This thesis attempts to examine the driver-MTAHV interactions and quantify driver skills for controlling a MTAHV as compared to a single unit vehicle. This thesis proposes a method for driver skill analysis via comparing virtual drivers in various operating conditions. The driver skill analysis is conducted by evaluating the lateral stability and path-following ability of the vehicle under the control of the driver model. The evaluation is implemented using driver-in-the-loop (DIL) real-time simulations, where the RA measures derived from a group of human drivers are compared to those from the virtual driver. The numerical and DIL real-time simulation results demonstrate that the human and the virtual driver achieved similar a good agreement in terms of the performance measures, indicating the validity of the driver model, testing procedure and the interactions of driver-MTAHV.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the growing development of autonomous and semi-autonomous large commercial heavy vehicles, the lateral stability control of articulated vehicles have caught the attention of researchers recently. Active vehicle front steering (AFS) can enhance the handling performance and stability of articulated vehicles for an emergency highway maneuver scenario. However, with large vehicles such tractor-trailers, the system becomes more complex to control and there is an increased occurrence of instabilities. This research investigates a new control scheme based on fractional calculus as a technique that ensures lateral stability of articulated large heavy vehicles during evasive highway maneuvering scenarios. The control method is first implemented to a passenger vehicle model with 2-axles based on the well-known “bicycle model”. The model is then extended and applied onto larger three-axle commercial heavy vehicles in platooning operations. To validate the proposed new control algorithm, the system is linearized and a fractional order PI state feedback control is developed based on the linearized model. Then using Matlab/Simulink, the developed fractional-order linear controller is implemented onto the non-linear tractor-trailer dynamic model. The tractor-trailer system is modeled based on the conventional integer-order techniques and then a non-integer linear controller is developed to control the system. Overall, results confirm that the proposed controller improves the lateral stability of a tractor-trailer response time by 20% as compared to a professional truck driver during an evasive highway maneuvering scenario. In addition, the effects of variable truck cargo loading and longitudinal speed are evaluated to confirm the robustness of the new control method under a variety of potential operating conditions.

Book Synopsis Enhancement of Ride and Directional Performances of Articulated Vehicles Via Optimal Frame Steering and Hydro-Pneumatic Suspension by : Yuming Yin

This book was released on 2018 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off-road vehicles employed in agriculture, construction, forestry and mining sectors are known to exhibit comprehensive levels of terrain-induced ride vibration and relatively lower directional stability limits, especially for the articulated frame-steered vehicles (AFSV). The transmitted whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure levels to the human operators generally exceed the safety limits defined in ISO-2631-1 and the European Community guidelines. Moreover, the directional stability limits are generally assessed neglecting the contributions due to terrain roughness and kineto-dynamics of the articulated frame steering (AFS) system. Increasing demand for high load capacity and high-speed off-road vehicles raises greater concerns for both the directional stability limits and WBV exposure. The criterion for acceptable handling and stability limits of such vehicles do not yet exist and need to be established. Furthermore, both directional stability performance and ride vibration characteristics are coupled and pose conflicting vehicle suspension design requirements. This dissertation research focuses on enhancement of ride, and roll- and yaw-plane stability performance measures of frame-steered vehicle via analysis of kineto-dynamics of the AFS system and hydro-pneumatic suspensions. A roll stability performance measure is initially proposed for off-road vehicles considering magnitude and spectral contents of the terrain elevations. The roll dynamics of an off-road vehicle operating on random rough terrains were investigated, where the two terrain-track profiles were synthesized considering coherency between them. It is shown that a measure based on steady-turning root-mean-square lateral acceleration corresponding to the sustained period of unity lateral-load-transfer-ratio prior to the absolute-rollover, could serve as a reliable measure of roll stability of vehicles operating on random rough terrains. The simulation results revealed adverse effects of terrain elevation magnitude on the roll stability, while a relatively higher coherency resulted in lower terrain roll-excitation and thereby higher roll stability. The yaw-plane stability limits of an AFSV are investigated in terms of free yaw-oscillations as well as transient steering characteristics through field measurements and simulations of kineto-dynamics of the AFS system. It was shown that employing hydraulic fluid with higher bulk modulus and increasing the steering arm lengths would yield higher yaw stiffness of the AFS system and thereby higher frequency of yaw-oscillations. Greater leakage flows and viscous seal friction within the AFS system struts caused higher yaw damping coefficient but worsened the steering gain and articulation rate. A design guidance of the AFS system is subsequently proposed. The essential objective measures are further identified considering the AFSV's yaw oscillation/stability and steering performances, so as to seek an optimal design of the AFS system. For enhancing the ride performance of AFSV, a simple and low cost design of a hydro-pneumatic suspension (HPS) is proposed. The nonlinear stiffness and damping properties of the HPS strut that permits entrapment of gas into the hydraulic oil were characterized experimentally and analytically. The formation of the gas-oil emulsion was studied in the laboratory, and variations in the bulk modulus and mass density of the emulsion were formulated as a function of the gas volume fraction. The model results obtained under different excitations in the 0.1 to 8 Hz frequency range showed reasonably good agreements with the measured stiffness and damping properties of the HPS strut. The results showed that increasing the fluid compressibility causes increase in effective stiffness but considerable reduction in the damping in a highly nonlinear manner. Increasing the gas volume fraction resulted in substantial hysteresis in the force-deflection and force-velocity characteristics of the strut. A three-dimensional AFSV model is subsequently formulated integrating the hydro-mechanical AFS system and a hydro-pneumatic suspension. The HPS is implemented only at the front axle, which supports the driver cabin in order to preserve the roll stability of the vehicle. The validity of the model is illustrated through field measurements on a prototype vehicle. The suspension parameters are selected through design sensitivity analyses and optimization, considering integrated ride vibration, and roll- and yaw-plane stability performance measures. The results suggested that implementation of HPS to the front unit alone could help preserve the directional stability limits compared to the unsuspended prototype vehicle and reduce the ride vibration exposure by nearly 30%. The results of sensitivity analyses revealed that the directional stability performance limits are only slightly affected by the HPS parameters. Further reduction in the ride vibration exposure was attained with the optimal design, irrespective of the payload variations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been acknowledged that the applications of Articulated Steer vehicles (ASVs) result in some problems, such as rollover, jackknifing and snaking. In this book, for a typical ASV, a comprehensive study of the causes of the snaking, and of the effects of the vehicle parameters and operating conditions on the stability is presented. Furthermore, to stabilize the vehicle during its most critical driving conditions, some studies are directed towards designing different types of active stability control systems. The subject of this book fits well into the scope of Vehicle Dynamics and Control. The main interest of this work is in the development of elegant design procedures where advanced control theory results are combined with established vehicle dynamic modeling techniques, to come up with appropriate vehicle stability controllers. The contents of this book can be used as a guide to solving the development problems of all kinds of road vehicles in the areas of stability and control. More specifically, this book can significantly assist professionals of various industries and academia in the field of articulated vehicle design, in finding proper solutions to the stability problems.
