Multi-PMSM adjacent cross-coupling iterative learning synchronisation control
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137273
For the current widely used adjacent cross-coupling control strategy, when the number of motors is large, the control structure is complex and the calculation is difficult which makes it hard to access the demand of simple and efficient high-precision synchronisation control. The adjacent cross coupling control structure is studied, and an iterative learning controller is designed. A new multi motor speed synchronisation control strategy is proposed, which reduces the complexity of the control structure. The simulation and experimental data prove that the control algorithm has strong robustness. Compared with the traditional adjacent cross-coupling control method, the synchronisation error of the system can be reduced by 78.17% and the tracking error can be reduced by 62.40%, which effectively improves the control accuracy of multi-motor synchronisation operation.

Derivation of vehicle dimensions at the early concept stage based on occupant posture
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137274
This paper presents a new method for deriving dimensional concepts for vehicles at the early concept stage. The derivation is centred on the posture of the occupants, which is calculated with statistical models and used to determine spatial requirements. Dimensions that do not follow directly from the posture calculations are determined with dimensional chains. The number of independent parameters is reduced by specifying dimensions that are assumed constant within a given vehicle segment. The application of the method is exemplified with different vehicle concepts. Vehicle length, width, height, and wheelbase calculated in the examples are comparable to those of existing vehicles. The use of non-proprietary, closed-form equations and the low number of independent parameters simplify implementation and application of the method.

On the aerodynamic effects of the optimised DrivAer fastback model car under adverse situations
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137275
The benchmark DrivAer model is employed for optimisation work of vortex generator locations with digital side mirrors through numerical simulation. Aiming for the best drag reduction via various installation positions by the Kriging surrogate method, results show that for the best-achieved location, it reveals the positive effect owing to an increase in the intensity of vortices; its wake also becomes weaker. In addition, to cope with fast-changing severe weather, the impacts of physical phenomena such as gusty crosswind, heavy rain, and cornering manoeuvres are simulated and compared as well through detailed analyses of different physical quantities, force coefficients, and Strouhal number. Our simulations show that the gusty crosswind and cornering have the most negative influences on aerodynamic performance, thus proving the effectiveness of the current approach in automobile design and safety. The combination of gusty and rain conditions is also elaborated, and results show a similar trend as previous simulations.

Motion control of autonomous vehicles after a tyre blow-out based on differential-flatness-MPC
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137292
This paper presents a vehicle safety evaluation index after a tyre blow-out event. By applying safety indicators, the movement characteristics of the vehicle are analysed according to different driving operation strategies, and then give the driving operation strategy for the vehicle after a tyre blow-out. In addition, through the analysis of the performance of the flat tyre wheel, the vehicle dynamics model with a flat tyre is presented. According to the operation strategy of the flat tyre, the model predictive control (MPC) method based on differential flatness is used to investigate the motion control problem of vehicles with flat tyres when driving on motorway. The simulation results show that the method can control well the movement behaviour of the vehicle with a flat tyre.

Review on vehicle sideslip angle estimation
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137310
The control of vehicle stability is significantly influenced by the pivotal role of the sideslip angle, and it is a major parameter in intelligent vehicle systems. The immediate and precise determination of sideslip angle forms the foundation for stability systems. Exact calculation of sideslip angle enables the real-time assessment, allowing for timely intervention to ensure safe driving, mainly from three aspects: physical model, estimation algorithm and adaptive parameter estimation method. Comparing the estimated sideslip angle of body dynamics model, tyre model and steering system model, which could be concluded that prevailing approach for sideslip angle estimation is dynamic estimation method. An analysis is conducted to examine the variations among different estimation algorithms used for the calculation of the sideslip angle; also, the advantages and disadvantages of various observers are expounded. Finally, we present an effective implementation of adaptive parameter estimation to enhance the accuracy of sideslip angle.

Digital human models in automotive engineering applications: a bibliometric analysis of research progress and prospects
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137303
Digital human models (DHMs) with high levels of customisation and realism have been widely employed in automotive engineering. Despite studies investigating the use of DHMs in specific domains, there is a lack of comprehensive analyses that evaluate the research trends of the field as a whole. This review proposes and employs a comprehensive, reproducible, and systematic bibliometric analysis approach, inspired by the PRISMA guidelines, to summarise the current state and challenges of DHMs in automotive engineering and to outline future directions. First, this review presents the general bibliometric distributions of publication and citation growth, research areas, keyword distribution, and thematic evolution. Furthermore, it offers an all-inclusive review of the development, validation, and application of DHMs in various fields of automotive engineering, including ergonomic design and safety evaluation. Finally, the prospects and challenges of DHMs are discussed to provide a novel perspective to promote the advancement of this field.
