Torque Actuated Rear Steering for Urban Electric Commercial Vehicles
This thesis describes research in rear steering, using a torque differential generated by in-wheel motors acting on steerable axles ('torque actuated steering') to enhance the performance of rigid (non-articulated) commercial vehicles. The main objectives are to: 1. Increase vehicle length while …

Integrated vehicle dynamics control using active steering, driveline and braking
… a new control configuration to coordinate active steering subsystems and dynamic stability control (DSC) subsystems. The active steering subsystems include Active Front Steering (AFS) and Active Rear Steering (ARS); the dynamic stability control subsystems include driveline based, brake based and …

Intelligent vehicle motion control
… a new control structure for co-ordinating active steering technologies and a brake based directional stability controller. A non-linear vehicle handling model was developed for this study using the Mattab and Simulink tools. This consists of a 4 degree of freedom (d. o. f) lumped-parameter model …

Brake-Actuated Steering of Heavy Goods Vehicles
… their reduced low-speed manoeuvrability. Active rear-steering technologies have been developed to mitigate this, but they rely on heavy and costly electro-hydraulic actuation systems. This dissertation describes the development of a ‘brake-actuated steering’ (BAS) concept to actively steer …
