The direct yaw moment control system of distributed drive electric vehicles provides a flexible scheme to enhance the vehicle stability through four independently driven in-wheel motors. However, nonlinearities may lead invalidation control. To this end, Takagi–Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy-based robust <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">H∞</i> method is proposed ensure performance while addressing nonlinear challenge. First, thanks T-S...

Cooperative on-ramp merging control for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) can effectively improve traffic throughput vehicle fuel efficiency at highway bottlenecks. However, in the mixed scenario where CAVs human-driven (HDVs) coexist, uncertain maneuvers of human drivers pose a major challenge to terms safety flexibility. To this end, paper proposes hierarchical cooperative strategy optimize flexible trajectories with guarantees traffic. First, problem is considered case three-vehicle...

Structures with negative Poisson's ratios have been widely applied in existing engineering, especially the field of energy absorption. To design double-arrowed auxetic structures to better absorb energy, it is essential conduct parametric analysis on their crashworthiness. In this paper, effect geometric parameters crashworthiness performance analyzed thoroughly both macro- and micro-sized scales. At macro scale, slenderness ratio size unit cell are analyzed. Additionally, critical derived...

This paper presents an integrated platoon control framework for heterogeneous vehicles on curved roads with varying slopes, aerodynamic drag, and wireless communication delays. First, a linear vehicle model decoupled longitudinal lateral dynamics is built based nonlinear feedback linearization arc-length parametric transformation of arbitrary road. The external disturbances are also considered, including the up-down road wind equivalent time-delays caused by delay discrete data in onboard...

Reconstitution of control architecture creates a great challenge for distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEV), due to the emergence new driving strategy. To this end, novel is proposed in paper integrated active front steering (AFS) system and direct yaw moment (DYC) system. First, multi-agent (MAS) employed construct general framework, where AFS DYC act as agents that work together improve vehicle lateral stability simultaneously reduce workloads drivers during path tracking. The...

Long queues of vehicles are often found at signalized intersections, which increases the energy consumption all involved. This paper proposes an enhanced eco-approach control (EEAC) strategy with consideration queue ahead for connected electric (EVs) a intersection. The discharge movement vehicle is predicted by improved prediction method (IQDP), takes both and driver dynamics into account. Based on queue, EEAC designed hierarchical framework: upper-stage uses dynamic programming to find...

Preceding vehicles typically dominate the movement of following in traffic systems, thereby significantly influencing efficacy eco-driving control that concentrates on vehicle speed optimization. To potentially mitigate negative effect preceding at signalized intersection, this study proposes an overtaking-enabled eco-approach (OEAC) strategy. It combines driving lane planning and optimization for connected automated to relax first-in-first-out queuing policy minimizing host vehicle's energy...

Hybrid powertrain technologies must be applied to sports utility vehicles (SUV) and light trucks (LT) in the near future meet new corporate average fuel economy standards. For SUV LT, multimode hybrid powertrains using multiple planetary gears (PGs) help deliver required torque while achieving better economy. Compared with single double PG systems, three-PG system can provide more design flexibility. However, it is not practical search through all possible designs exhaustive methods because...
