Automated Visual Database Creation For A Ground Vehicle Simulator
This research focuses on extracting road models from stereo video sequences taken from a moving vehicle. The proposed method combines color histogram based segmentation, active contours (snakes) and morphological processing to extract road boundary coordinates for conversion into Matlab or Multigen …

Effects of stabilizer bars on road vehicle ride quality
In an effort to improve the safety and road-holding capabilities of vehicles, manufacturers have begun a trend toward increasing vehicle body roll resistance by introducing stiffer roll-stabilizer bars. In this study vehicle suspension and road surface models are developed to investigate the …

Contract-based safety verification for autonomous driving
… The contracts consider a large variety of road models, guarantee that the controlled system will remain safe with respect to probabilistic models of traffic behavior, and ensure that it will follow the rules of the road. We generate contracts using reachability analysis in a reach-avoid …

A Three Dimensional Discretized Tire Model For Soft Soil Applications
… most are dedicated to the development of tire models for on-road conditions. Such models cover a wide range of resolutions and approaches, as required for specific applications. At one end of the spectrum are the very simple tire models, such as those employed in real-time vehicle dynamic …

Active Suspension Design Requirements for Compliant Boundary Condition Road Disturbances
… far more effective over a variety of different road conditions compared to passive suspension systems. This is because of their ability to store and dissipate energy at different rates. Additionally, they can even provide energy of their own into the rest of the system. This makes active …

Semi-active damping of heavy vehicles.
… in heavy vehicles to improve ride and reduce road damage. An introduction into the subject is given in chapter 1 and a review of the relevant literature is presented at the beginning of each main chapter. The development and modelling of a prototype, continuously variable semi-active damper …
