Abstract:
Millions of drivers could experience shoulder muscle overload when rapidly rotating steering wheels and reduced steering ability at increased steering wheel angles. In order to address these issues for drivers with disability, surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors measuring biceps brachii muscle activity were incorporated into a steering assistance system for remote steering wheel rotation. The path-following accuracy of the sEMG interface with respect to a game steering wheel was evaluated through driving simulator trials. Human participants executed U-turns with differing radii of curvature. For a radius of curvature equal to the minimum vehicle turning radius of 3.6 m, the sEMG interface had significantly greater accuracy than the game steering wheel, with intertrial median lateral errors of 0.5 m and 1.2 m, respectively. For a U-turn with a radius of 7.2 m, the sEMG interface and game steering wheel were comparable in accuracy, with respective intertrial median lateral errors of 1.6 m and 1.4 m. The findings of this study could be utilized to realize accurate sEMG-controlled automobile steering for persons with disability.

Abstract:
The majority of disturbance and control forces affecting a vehicle are transmitted through the tyre-ground interfaces. For optimum performance, components at each wheel station should be regularly inspected and maintained. Failure to maintain tyre pressures at correct levels results in increased tyre wear, increased fuel consumption, reduced ride comfort and degradation of vehicle handling. Worn dampers also reduce ride comfort and are detrimental to handling. Unbalanced wheels lead to vibration and wear in steering linkages. A system is proposed which will monitor these parameters while the vehicle is being driven in the normal way. The system is based upon measuring the vertical vibration at each wheel/axle station. Subsequent signal processing enables a dashboard indication of tyre pressures, damper effectiveness and wheel unbalance to be made available to the driver.

Abstract:
According to the actual need of vehicle anti-rollover, based on the current technology of measuring speed, weighing and measuring turn angle, an anti-rollover control system with differential braking and turn angle limit function for electrical vehicle was researched. The system uses data signal processor (DSP) as the core controller, and includes the speed measuring circuit, the weighing circuit, the steering angle measuring circuit and the steering wheel control circuit. The speed measuring circuit using the orthogonal pulse photoelectric encoder and DSP can realize the acquisition and calculation of speed. The weighing circuit with capacitance sensor can convert the load of vehicle axle to the voltage signal. A/D conversion is completed by DSP, and the vehicle load is calculated with V-M mathematic model. The turn angle measuring circuit is composed of the photoelectric angle sensor, the filter and DSP' counter. The control program of the system was also designed.

Abstract:
<p>A low-cost and simple distributed sensors model that is particularly suitable for measuring eye blink of the driver, accident and hand position on a steering wheel. These sensors can be used in automotive active safety systems that aim at detecting driver’s fatigue, a major issue to prevent road accidents. The key point of this approach is to design a prototype of sensor units, so that it can serve as platform for integrating different kinds of sensors into the steering wheel. Since the sensors are attached to the steering wheel, therefore they can’t be detached by the driver. It will also detect dangerous stylish driving which may lead to fatal accidents. The major drawback is that the eye blink sensors frame worn by the driver can be removed causing the sensor non-operational. The outcome is that the vibrator attached to eye blink sensor’s frame vibrates if the driver shuts his eyes for approximately 3 seconds and also the LCD displays the respective warning message. The wheel is slowed or stopped depending on the condition. This is accompanied by the vehicle’s owner being notified through the GSM module, so the owner can retrieve the driver’s location, photograph and a list of nearby police stations through an android mobile application. Therefore, driver can be alerted during drowsiness and the owner can be notified simultaneously.</p>

Abstract:
This paper reports the principle, control methods and experimental results of the steering control of a spherically shaped, all-direction steering-type mobile robot developed in this study. By applying a spiral rotation method proposed here, we achieved the robot's rotational and steering controls. Angle detection mechanisms for the robot's posture and measuring methods are also detailed. By virtue of the one-point contact with the ground and the aforementioned rotation principle of rotations, the robot can perform unique rotational actions. Furthermore, we confirmed that the postural stability control of the arched body shown in the previous papers contributed to speeding up the rotation of the robot. The experimental results show that the cooperative controls of the arched body, the controlling arch and the wheel make the robot travel in all directions and adds to the maneuverability of the robot. Therefore, it is expected that the robot has great capabilities not only in service applications but also as an amusement robot for personal and other applications.

Abstract:
An image sensing technique is developed using image plane analysis to measure the vehicular motion variables through an in-vehicle camera. A new measurement model is derived to directly connect the image features of vanishing point and base point with the desired motion variables comprising heading angle, lateral deviation, yaw rate and sideslip angle of the vehicle. These are useful in vehicular steering control applications such as automatic and four-wheel steering systems for providing feedback motion information in a convenient way. In order to test the proposed vision-based measuring scheme, a computerized road scene is simulated as the test sample using a newly proposed model for curvature-based road generation. Finally, experimental works are performed using the real road scene to verify the image sensing method. Consistent results are obtained by comparing with other measurements from a yaw rate gyro and from vehicular traces left on the road.

Abstract:
This thesis studies measuring systems for active steering of railway vehicles. The aim of the study is to develop state estimation techniques to provide high integrity feedback variables for the active steering of railway vehicles. Practicality and provision of high-integrity data are two important aspects of the work. To avoid the use of expensive sensors and complex instrumentation, practical techniques for estimating vehicle variables are developed where only economical measurements are used and they can be easily implemented. The conventional solid-axle wheelset and wheelset with independently-rotating wheels are studied and their mathematical models are developed. The fundamental stability problem of these two models is analysed from a control engineering viewpoint for studies of actively-controlled wheelsets. The Kalman filters are then developed for these models to estimate all state variables, particularly variables of the wheelset relative to the track such as lateral displacement and yaw angle which are needed for active control. A number of sensing options are also identified, analysed for performance and assessed in a comparative sense. Fault detection and isolation schemes are then studied for the estimation techniques developed. Finally, some applications are considered. The techniques and analysis methods developed for the single wheel pair are extended and applied to a MKII coach and a two-axle railway vehicle. The estimation of cant deficiency for tilting trains is explored, and also the possibility of state estimation for a real profiled wheel.

A wireless steering wheel angle measuring device is used to install the triaxial accelerometers on the automobile steering wheel. After the steering wheel rotate, the triaxial acceleration of the acceleration sensor will changes due to the influence of gravity. The triaxial direction acceleration information can be got by the microprocessor to calculate the automobile steering wheel the rotation angle. The automobile steering wheel angle information will use the wireless transmission to the electronic control unit by the wireless receiving and dispatching electric circuit. The wireless transmission is the non-contact way to avoid the inconvenience of the wiring transmission. The electronic control unit will easily implement the automatic turn signal light system in the automobile or the parking guiding system using the image according to the steering wheel rotation angle.

Abstract:
A semi-physical model of an hydraulic power steering system is presented in this paper. The proposed model allows to evaluate the wheels dynamic response to steering inputs and to calculate the corresponding reaction torque on the steering-wheel (steering torque). The analyzed steering system increases its stiffness (so that the steering assist level is decreases) with the rise of the vehicle speed. Thus, vehicle maneuverability is improved during parking maneuvers, while at high vehicle speeds, stability and driver perceived steering feel are ensured. A two d.o.f. (steering-wheel and rack-pinion rotations) model has been implemented during this study. The model parameters have been identified through the standard laboratory tests carried out to characterize a steering system, minimizing the difference between the experimental data and the model numerical results. During laboratory tests the hydraulic power system has been characterized first, measuring its stiffness variation as a function of the relative rotation between the steering-wheel and the rack-pinion, and the steering torque as a function of the difference between the delivery and the reversal pressure of the double-acting ram. The complete steering system has been then characterized, suspending the vehicle and placing the wheels on appropriate low-friction plates which permit them to turn; sine and frequency sweep steering input have been applied by a robot and the corresponding reaction torque on the steering-wheel has been measured. Simulations results are in good agreement with the experimental ones for all the performed tests. The steering system model has been integrated into a 14 d.o.f. vehicle model developed by the Mechanical Department of the Politecnico di Milano in order to access its reliability during handling maneuvers. Several simulations have been performed both in open (step-steer, steering pad, etc.) and in closed loop (lane change, double lane change, slalom, etc). Simulation results have shown a reduction of the toe angle due to the deformability of the steering system and a time delay of the wheel angle respect to the cinematic condition introduced by the steering system dynamics. The reaction torque on the steering-wheel has also been calculated during the simulations to access the driver perceived steering feel during the maneuvers.

Abstract:
Three new criteria have been developed with the purpose of improving road safety, through an enhanced wheel alignment inspection in the context of the Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspection (PMVI). Nowadays, the result of the inspection in Spain is not determined directly from an objective measurement. It depends greatly on the inspector criterion. The three developed criteria provide the inspectors with an objective procedure, based on the measuring device that is nowadays installed in the PMVI stations: the sideslip tester. The first proposed criterion checks if the toe-in angle is set according to the manufacturer’s specifications, using a model that has been specifically developed to estimate this angle from the sideslip measurement. The second one evaluates if there is an excessive permanent side force when driving in straight line, thanks to a model expressly developed for this purpose. A third criterion establishes a limit for the sideslip measurement, common for all the vehicles, with a non-symmetrical range from the zero sideslip. An extensive program of validation tests has been carried out for the three proposed methods. According to them, the third proposal has been chosen as the preferred one. Previously, a comprehensive study of the sideslip measurement fundamentals and the different factors that may have an influence on the results was done.

Abstract In this paper, a new test rig for measuring the characteristics of bicycle tyres is presented. The test rig is designed to measure the parameters of a wide range of bicycle tyres, including race bicycles, mountain-bikes and city-bikes. The test rig consists of a frame that allows a single wheel to be cambered and steered. Electric motors can be added to produce longitudinal slip. The test rig is conceived to be employed either on a drum or on a flat surface. The friction on the drum or on the flat surface can be varied in a relatively easy way. The test rig can measure the vertical force, the lateral force, the self aligning torque, the moment around the longitudinal axis, and, after proper arrangement, the longitudinal force. The steering and camber axles of the test rig intersect at the centre of the contact patch. In this way, the vertical vibrations of the wheel cause a pure vertical motion of the centre of the contact patch i.e. without longitudinal velocity. The lateral force is measured by a Watt’s linkage. The steering motion is allowed by pneumatic bearings, which guarantee a vanishing friction moment and thus an accurate measurement of the self-aligning moment. Some measured tyre characteristics are provided.

Abstract:
Diagnosis systems for evaluating driver’s attention level have become very important in the last years and have gained an increasing attention from automotive manufacturers; indeed, traffic crashes represent worldwide one of the main public health problems and many accidents are demonstrated to be due to drivers’ hypovilance. In this work a driving simulator and specific test tools were developed to validate the possibility of monitoring the drivers’ attention level and capability. The driving simulator is equipped with a fixed cockpit and a single front screen. The cockpit reproduces the man-machine interface of a typical medium class car with automatic transmission, i.e. the driver interacts with the simulator by means of the throttle and brake pedals and the steering wheel. The pedals are endowed with passive feedback systems, whereas an electric motor applies an active feedback torque on the steering wheel. From the software point of view, the simulator is managed by four PCs connected by a LAN. Two of them are dedicated to the simulation of vehicle dynamics and for data logging, while the other two run the graphical scenario software. This includes a motorway area connected to an urban area with an autonomous traffic. The vehicle model was built with a block architecture in the Matlab/Simulink environment and is run in real-time by using the xPC Target toolbox. A specific block, consisting of an in-house developed 14 d.o.f. model, was set up to represents vehicle dynamics. The driving simulator is currently employed in experimental campaigns acquiring about 60 signals of driver’s input and vehicle quantities. In order to evaluate the drivers’ attention level, two specific tests were developed, which aim at measuring the drivers’ reaction time and ability in sudden events such as a brake manoeuvre or a sudden lateral skid. In the paper the driving simulator hardware and software are presented. The tests procedures, which were developed to investigate the driver’s attention, are also discussed with reference to some tests.

Abstract:
In this paper, an experimental validation of the lateral dynamics of a bicycle running on a treadmill is presented. From a theoretical point of view, bicycling straight ahead on a treadmill with constant belt velocity should be identical to bicycling on flat level ground with constant forward speed. However, two major differences remain: first, stiffnesses of the contact of the tire with the belt compared to the contact on flat level ground; second, the belt velocity is fixed with respect to the world, irrespective of the change in heading of the bicycle on the treadmill. The admissibility of these two differences is checked by comparing experimental results with numerical simulation results. The numerical simulations are performed on a three-degree-of-freedom benchmarked bicycle model [1]. For the validation we consider the linearized equations of motion for small perturbations of the upright steady forward motion. This model has been validated experimentally in a previous work [2]. The experimental system consists of an instrumented bicycle without a rider on a large treadmill. Sensors are present for measuring the roll rate, yaw rate, steering angle, and rear wheel rotation. Measurements are recorded for the case in which the laterally perturbed bicycle coasts freely on the treadmill. From these measured data, eigenvalues are extracted by means of curve fitting. These eigenvalues are then compared with the results from the linearized equations of motion of the model. As a result, the model appeared to be accurate within the normal bicycling speed range, and in particular the transition from stable to unstable weave motion was very well predicted.
