Phase portraits provide control system designers strong graphical insight into nonlinear
system dynamics. These plots readily display vehicle stability properties and map …

A new method is proposed to estimate and analyze the vehicle lateral stability region, which
provides a direct and intuitive demonstration for the safety and stability control of ground …

This paper proposes the dissipation of the energy analysis approach for vehicle plane
motion stability analysis. The vehicle uses a threedegree-of-freedom vehicle model, and a …

Active driver assistance systems are able to assist the driver in enhancing passenger
comfort, road holding, the efficiency and safety of transport, etc. At the same time the …

Automobiles are becoming more and more complex as multiple control systems are
integrated into the vehicle platform. This paper investigates the coordination of active rear …

The aim of the paper is to define a limit performance of highly efficient battery electric
quadricycles for urban mobility. The vehicle is employed for an energy efficiency competition …

Good stability performance is a prerequisite for the motion of vehicles controlled either by a
human driver with advanced driver-assistance systems or by highly automated driving …

The stability of the straight ahead running motion of automobiles is studied with proper
theoretical tools pertaining to bifurcation theory. The study is both theoretical and …

Integrated control systems for vehicle-handling stability are usually based on the steering
bifurcation mechanism. The best integrated control performance is obtained by coordinating …

In this paper, we show that even an extremely simple nonlinear vehicle and driver model
can show complex behaviors, like multi-stability and sensible dependence on the initial …
