Development and analysis of active rear axle steering for 8x8 combat vehicle
Russell, Brett (2018-08-01)This thesis proposes and compares multiple vehicle dynamics controllers using rear axle steering of an 8x8 combat vehicle. The controllers are assessed on ability to increase maneuverability at low speed, increase stability ... -
Development and optimization of a wide base FEA truck tire model for prediction of tire-road interactions
Reid, Adam Cameron (2015-04-01)The most important aspect of any land-type vehicle is the efficiency in which it can translate energy from an engine, motor, or external source to the ground in an effort to move. Currently, the most efficient way to do ... -
Development and validation of a driver distraction alert system for highway driving using a truck driving simulator
Dababneh, Laith Faris (2016-07-01)Driver distraction is one of the major causes of vehicle accidents, injuries, fatalities and economical losses in Canada and across the world. The main objective of this thesis is to develop a real time driver distraction ... -
Development of active trailer steering systems for pickup truck-trailer combinations
Shastry, Priya (2019-08-01)Lateral dynamics of articulated vehicles continue to remain a subject of concern in the design of safety systems. Vehicle-trailer combinations tend to exhibit low lateral stability and poor maneuverability, especially under ... -
Development of FEA wide-base truck tire and soil interaction models
Marjani, Mehrsa (2016-07-01)Tires are considered one of the most important components of ground vehicles as they are the only link between the chassis and ground. They support the vehicle weight and cushion road surface irregularities to provide a ... -
Development of H∞ control strategy for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle
D'Urso, Peter (2016-08-01)A vehicle dynamics controller for an 8 x 8 heavy combat vehicle utilising both torque vectoring and third and fourth axle steering is propoed. The control scheme is composed of two controllers: a feedforward zero side slip ... -
