Summary:The performance of active safety systems depends a lot on the available friction between the tires and the road, which changes with changing road conditions. Thus, estimating the maximum available friction becomes essential. However, to do this, the tires need to be forced to slip against the road. This might cause the vehicle to get unstable. This thesis was about development of a stability monitor such that a forced tire excitation could be carried out for friction estimation… Show more Summary:The performance of active safety systems depends a lot on the available friction between the tires and the road, which changes with changing road conditions. Thus, estimating the maximum available friction becomes essential. However, to do this, the tires need to be forced to slip against the road. This might cause the vehicle to get unstable. This thesis was about development of a stability monitor such that a forced tire excitation could be carried out for friction estimation, without compromising the stability of the vehicle. The project involved modeling and simulation of the monitor using Matlab/Simulink and IPG CarMaker, and then implementing and testing them using dSPACE Control Desk.Report:http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1189528/FULLTEXT01.pdf Show less
