Most of the vehicle cruise braking calibration algorithms only calibrate the distance, ignoring that the driver cannot control the vehicle braking in time under fatigue conditions. Therefore, an embedded CNC system is added to the vehicle cruise braking distance calibration algorithm to control the vehicle speed and prevent the vehicle from rear-end collisions. At this time, the CNC system uses incremental control to control the vehicle cruise braking. The reaction time model and braking distance calculation model under control increment are established. At the same time, air resistance and rolling resistance of cruise braking distance parameters are calculated. Cruise braking distance calibration is completed by integrating the two models, CNC system control increment, air resistance and rolling resistance parameters. The experimental analysis shows that the calibration error of the algorithm is within ±30cm and the calibration accuracy is high, which meets the practical application standard of cruise braking.

Everything that rolls along the ground uses energy to overcome both rolling resistance and air resistance. Air resistance is more significant at higher speeds. Repeated accelerations dominate energy use in stop–start city driving. Not surprisingly, heavy, large SUVs use more energy to go a given distance than lighter, more streamlined cars. Due to the mismatch between the torque required and the rotation rate of the drive wheels, internal combustion engines in cars or trucks do not operate at their peak efficiency. Trains are the most efficient form of ground transportation due to both the lower rolling resistance of steel wheels on railroad tracks and the lower air resistance of its long and thin structure. A further advantage is that rail with fixed tracks can take advantage of the efficient generation of electrical energy. This is also obviously the main disadvantage; trains can only go where tracks have been laid.

Abstract A Time-To-Rollover (TTR) metric is proposed as the basis to assess rollover threat for an articulated vehicle. Ideally, a TTR metric will accurately “count-down” toward rollover regardless of vehicle speed and steering patterns, so that the level of rollover threat is accurately indicated. To implement TTR in real-time, there are two conflicting requirements. On the one hand, a faster-than-real-time model is needed. On the other hand, the TTR predicted by this model needs to be accurate enough under all driving scenarios. An innovative approach is proposed in this paper to solve this dilemma and the whole process is illustrated in a design example. First, a simple yet reasonably accurate yaw/roll model is identified. A Neural Network (NN) is then developed to mitigate the accuracy problem of this simplified real-time model. The NN takes the TTR generated by the simplified model, vehicle roll angle and change of roll angle to generate an enhanced NN-TTR index. The NN was trained and verified under a variety of driving patterns. It was found that an accurate TTR is achievable across all the driving scenarios we tested.

Background: This study aimed at comparing bioenergetics and biomechanical parameters between athletes with tetraplegia and paraplegia riding race handbikes at submaximal speeds in ecological conditions. Methods: Five athletes with tetraplegia (C6-T1, 43 ± 6 yrs, 63 ± 14 kg) and 12 athletes with paraplegia (T4-S5, 44 ± 7 yrs, 72 ± 12 kg) rode their handbikes at submaximal speeds under metabolic measurements. A deceleration method (coasting down) was applied to calculate the rolling resistance and frontal picture of each participant was taken to calculate air resistance. The net overall Mechanical Efficiency (Eff) was calculated by dividing external mechanical work to the corresponding Metabolic Power. Results: Athletes with tetraplegia reached a lower aerobic speed (4.7 ± 0.6 m s−1 vs. 7.1 ± 0.9 m s−1, P = 0.001) and Mechanical Power (54 ± 15 W vs. 111 ± 25 W, P = 0.001) compared with athletes with paraplegia. The metabolic cost was around 1 J kg−1 m−1 for both groups. The Eff values (17 ± 2% vs. 19 ± 3%, P = 0.262) suggested that the handbike is an efficient assisted locomotion device. Conclusion: Handbikers with tetraplegia showed lower aerobic performances but a similar metabolic cost compared with handbikers with paraplegia at submaximal speeds in ecological conditions.

Compared with straight-line braking, cornering brake has longer braking distance and poorer stability. Therefore, drivers are more prone to making mistakes. The braking process and the dynamics of vehicles in emergency situations on curves were analyzed. A biaxial four-wheel vehicle was simplified to a single model. Considering the braking process, dynamics, force distribution, and stability, a stopping sight distance of the curve braking calculation model was built. Then a driver-vehicle-road simulation platform was built using multibody dynamic software. The vehicle test of brake-in-turn was realized in this platform. The comparison of experimental and calculated values verified the reliability of the computational model. Eventually, the experimental values and calculated values were compared with the stopping sight distance recommended by the Highway Route Design Specification (JTGD20-2006); the current specification of stopping sight distance does not apply to cornering brake sight distance requirements. In this paper, the general values and limits of the curve stopping sight distance are presented.

Abstract Train braking technology needs to be advanced corresponding to the vehicle advancement to fully utilize the benefits of the potential capacity, efficiency and to ensure safety. The effectiveness of the braking changes as the friction condition at the wheel-rail interface and speed of rail vehicle change. The conventional brake control systems do not differentiate these changes in conditions and consider a constant slip reference. To overcome this issue, a new control algorithm for a wheel slide protection device incorporated in the electronically controlled pneumatic brake system has been proposed. Unlike conventional controllers, the proposed controller is responsive to the change of operational and environmental parameters between wheel and rail. It is designed based on multiple modes shifting during operations as the friction conditions change which allows to utilize the maximum adhesion available and to prevent the occurrence of sliding. The control algorithm is developed in a modular approach, where the first module identifies the adhesion condition at the wheel-rail interface. The result from the first module is further implemented in the second module to search for the optimum slip range for that adhesion condition and vehicle speed. For numerical simulation, a wagon model considering in-train forces is developed. The adhesion force is modeled by a proper definition of an adhesion-creep characteristics curve achieved from measured data. The comparison between the proposed control algorithm and the conventional algorithm suggests that the proposed control algorithm can optimally utilize available adhesion between wheel and rail to ensure shorter braking distance while maintaining vehicle stability.
