Design and Prototypingof a Fast Acting Anti Roll Over System for SUVs
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Durali, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
SUVs are susceptible to rollover in high speed due to their shape and high center of mass. This causes numerous limitations for this class of vehicles thus preventing their rollover is a prime issue. In this study, two flywheels with high angular momentum have been used to provide stabilizing momentum on the onset of rollover. However, if these flywheels keep rotating during the normal driving, they will cause maneuvering limitations for the car. The idea of using flywheels is completed by bringing them to speed in a few hundredth of a second when the vehicle is suspicious to rollover.To achieve this, dynamics of the car before and after lift off of one side is investigated. Also the dynamic...
Path-following in Predictive Rollover Prevention in High CG Vehicles
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Durali, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Salarieh, Hassan (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
In this thesis vehicle path-following in the presence of rollover risk is investigated. Vehicles with high center of mass are prone to roll instability. Untripped rollover risk is increased in high center of gravity vehicles and high-friction road condition. Some researches introduce strategies to handle the short-duration rollover condition. These strategies, however, yield to trajectory tracking error in semi-static maneuvers. Tracking error may also cause tripped rollover. In some other works rollover is prevented by velocity reduction. Rollover is again probable before sufficient reduction of velocity. This thesis puts stress on tracking error from rollover prevention. A lower level...
