Rapid changes in forces and the resulting changes in acceleration, jerk and higher order
derivatives can have undesired consequences beyond the effect of the forces themselves …

Vehicle trajectory prediction is a crucial but intricate problem for lateral driving assistance
systems because of driver uncertainty. This article presents a probabilistic vehicle-trajectory …

This paper aims at estimating the longitudinal jerk of the vehicle as it is acted by a human
driver, in the context of preventive safety. A reliable estimate is needed to infer the current …

In this manuscript, we address the problem of online optimal control for torque splitting in
hybrid electric vehicles that minimises fuel consumption and preserves battery life. We …

One of crucial concern of autonomous vehicles is that driver may experience discomfort, if
the driving pattern of the vehicle is quite different from her/his personal driving style. This …

The unknown sharp changes of vehicle acceleration rates, also called the unknown jerk
dynamics, may significantly affect the driving performance of the leader vehicle in a platoon …

Mobility is a topic of great interest in research and engineering since critical aspects such as
safety, traffic efficiency, and environmental sustainability still represent wide open …

Premature and simultaneous buckling of several steel braces in steel structures due to the
prolonged duration of a seismic motion is one of the issues that must be addressed in the …

In this work we propose a number of relevant engineering applications that exhibit both a
continuous and a discrete evolution, and are therefore suitably described by a recent …
