In recent years, automatic driving has been widely studied which is expected to promote
reduction of traffic accidents. Focusing on velocity control, it is sometimes required to …

In electric vehicles (EVs), cooperative control between a regenerative brake system (RBS)
and the conventional hydraulic brake system (HBS) enhances the brake performance and …

When an unexpected obstacle occupies some of the lanes on a multi-lane highway,
connected vehicles (CVs) may be able to avoid it cooperatively. For example, a CV that …

When an unexpected obstacle occupies some of the lanes on a multi-lane highway,

considerably, but anti-slip functions have not been practical due to the difficulty in …

Coasting is a fuel-efficient driving technique for hybrid vehicle that increases cruising
distance by separating the engine using a clutch. When a driver needs to accelerate a …

In this exploratory study, we examined self-reports of physical discomfort among automobile
passengers while being driven on an urban road. Eight adults participated as passengers in …

In recent years, using automobiles for transportation becomes an unavoidable part of one's
daily life. For example, Japanese governmental statistics shows that Japanese people …
