In spite of improvements in passive safety and efforts to alter driver behavior, the absolute
number of highway fatalities in 2002 increased to the highest level since 1990 in the US …

In this paper a combined control structure to decrease the rollover risk of heavy vehicles is
developed. In this structure active anti-roll bars are combined with an active brake control …

Abstract Evaluation of active safety control systems usually relies heavily on field testing and
is time-consuming and costly. Advances in computer simulations make it possible to perform …

This paper provides an overview of rollover crash safety, including field crash statistics, pre-
and rollover dynamics, test procedures and dummy responses as well as a bibliography of …

This dissertation focuses upon parameter estimation and how parameterized vehicle models
may be used for navigation and stability control. It begins by developing a nonlinear …

This paper presents a closed-loop evaluation of the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system
using a vehicle simulator. Human driver-VSC interactions have been investigated under …

In this chapter, existing methods and approaches for control allocation are discussed.
Control allocation (CA) refers to the calculation of multiple input commands that will cause a …

In the area of dynamic driving control and sensor monitoring, the parameters, which
characterize the vehicle loading state, play an important role. In practice, the vehicle loading …

SUMMARY Two Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) systems with rollover prevention function
are proposed in this paper. Control gains and threshold values of both designs are …
