International Journal of Vehicle Autonomous Systems (IJVAS)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Analysing the performance and stability of QZS-THS and QZS-TAS on vehicles of PCs, HTs, and SHs   Order a copy of this article
    by Li Zhang, Yaxi Liu, Vanliem Nguyen, Nguyen Trungkien, Nguyen Tronghoan 
    Abstract: To analyse the isolation performance and stability of QZS-THS (quasi-zero stiffness using two horizontal springs) and QZS-TAS (quasi-zero stiffness using two air springs) in improving the RS (ride smoothness) of PCs (passenger cars), HTs (heavy trucks), and SHs (sunflower harvesters), the models of vehicles and their seat suspension supported by QZS-THS and QZS-TAS are built to analyse the results. The investigation indicates that RS of HTs is better than that of SHs, while RS of PCs is the best under the typical operating conditions of each type of vehicle. When QZS-THS and QZS-TAS are used, the efficiency and stability of QZS-THS and QZS-TAS on PCs and SHs are similar. However, the efficiency and stability of QZS-TAS on HTs are better than those of QZS-THS. Therefore, both QZS-THS and QZS-TAS could be applied to PCs and SHs. Conversely, QZS-TAS should be applied to HTs to optimise its isolation performance.
    Keywords: passenger cars; heavy trucks; sunflower harvesters; quasi-zero stiffness; two horizontal springs; two air springs; ride smoothness.

  • Research on the automobile shock absorber control strategy based on MPC control algorithm and parameter design   Order a copy of this article
    by Tao Hai 
    Abstract: The semi-active suspension of the vehicle is a typical multiple-input, multiple-output system that is distinguished by its rapid dynamics, strong coupling, and actuator constraints. This paper introduces a model predictive control (MPC) approach to the regulation of the damping force of shock absorbers in these types of systems. While adhering to actuator constraints, the EMPC approach minimizes the control objective function. This method's minimal computational demand is a significant advantage, as it is well-suited for implementation on standard automotive microcontrollers. MPC system design entails the development of controllers, simulation-based validation, formulation of the control objective function, and mathematical modelling. The simulation results indicate that the proposed EMPC approach provides superior control performance for vehicle semi-active suspension systems when contrasted with conventional control methods.
    Keywords: MPC; model predictive control; SMC; sliding mode control; pattern search; genetic algorithms; differential evolution.
