Identifiability and parameter estimation in rail vehicle dynamics
Rail vehicle designers and analysts can benefit from the results of vehicle parameter estimation. Using this technique, they can determine the effects of suspension design decisions, and they can reduce the amount of on-track testing required to qualify new designs for service. This work addresses …

Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics System: Linear Chassis Predictions
One seminal question that faces a vehicle's driver (either human or computer) is predicting the capability of the vehicle as it encounters upcoming terrain. A Location-Aware Adaptive Vehicle Dynamics (LAAVD) System is being developed to assist the driver in maintaining vehicle handling capabilities …
