Design synthesis of car-trailer systems with active trailer differential braking strategies.
… and 2) the applicability of an Active Trailer Differential Braking (ATDB) controller designed using a linear CT model is tested and evaluated under the conditions that the controller is applied to a CT system represented by the selected linear and nonlinear models. The current research leads to …

Design optimization of active trailer differential braking systems for car-trailer combinations
The thesis studies active trailer differential braking (ATDB) systems to improve the lateral stability of car-trailer (CT) combinations. CT combinations exhibit unique unstable motion modes, including jack-knifing, trailer sway, and roll-over. To address this CT stability problem, two ATDB …

Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
… including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking and the active roll control are developed. The active safety systems are integrated and coordinated for optimal overall performance. The coordinated control system is designed in a modular, hierarchical and multilevel approach. …

Enhancement of lateral stability for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle using various control strategies
… Wheel Steering (AWS), Torque Vectoring (TV) and Differential Braking (DB). At high-speed cornering maneuvers, the vehicle experiences higher load transfer which can lead to a loss of the grip between the tires and the ground. Consequently, deterioration of vehicle handling capability can occur. …

Parallel design optimization of multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety systems
… steering (ATS) control, anti-roll (AR) control, differential braking (BD) control, and a variety of combinations of these three control strategies. To derive model-based controllers, a single-trailer articulated heavy vehicle (STAHV) model with 5 degrees of freedom (DOF) and a MTAHV model with 7 …

Optimal Vehicle Stability Control with Driver Input and Bounded Uncertainties
… speed control systems such as cruise control, differential braking, and anti-lock braking systems. A graphical user interface (GUI) is developed in MATLAB to ease the use of the vehicle model and hopefully encourage its widespread application in the future. Simulation results indicate that the …

Development of a Heavy Truck Vehicle Dynamics Model using Trucksim and Model Based Design of ABS and ESC Controllers in Simulink
… (HIL) simulation of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for a heavy truck was performed using dSPACE. TruckSim, developed by Mechanical Simulation Corporation (MSC), was used to model the vehicle dynamics. The tractor was equipped with disc brakes and the trailer was equipped with …
