Design of a FSAE braking system
… competition. The braking system for the MY18 vehicle developed by MIT Motorsports must enable the driver to consistently and reliably decelerate the vehicle at the maximum rate allowed by the traction limit of the tires. Crucial engineering data needed for a well-informed design, such as the …

Study of a Pneumatic Hybrid aided by a FPGA Controlled Free Valve Technology System
Urban traffic involves frequent acceleration and deceleration. During deceleration, the energy previously used to accelerate the vehicle is mainly wasted on heat generated by the friction brakes. If this energy that is wasted in traditional IC engines could be saved, the fuel economy would improve. …

Adaptive Brake By Wire: From Human Factors to Adaptive Implementation
… possible to customize the pedal feelings and the vehicle deceleration needed depending on several factors (i.e. surrounding braking scenario, driver characteristics, race vs day-by-day driving condition). Since braking maneuvers are typically critical and involve the driver, the design and …

Mesoscopic Fuel Consumption and Emission Modeling
… Current state-of-the-art models estimate vehicle emissions based on typical urban driving cycles. Most of these models offer simplified mathematical expressions to compute fuel consumption and emission rates based on average link speeds while ignoring transient changes in a vehicle's speed …

Study of Bus Driver Behavior at the Onset of Yellow Traffic Signal Indication for the Design of Yellow Time Durations
… signals are a major cause of intersection vehicle crashes. The yellow interval is used to inform approaching drivers of an upcoming change in the traffic signal indication from green to red. Current yellow-interval durations are currently calculated to accommodate for dilemma zone …
