Computer vehicle simulators are used to model real-world situations to overcome time and cost limitations. The vehicle simulators provide virtual scenarios for real-world driving. Although the existing simulators precisely observe movement on the bas...

The ride comfort provided by a vehicle to the driver and the passengers is an important feature, directly correlated to the technical characteristics of the suspension system of the vehicle. In the literature, several lumped-parameter models simulati...

Autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) operating in complex environments face the challenge of accurately following desired paths while accounting for uncertainties, external disturbances, and initial conditions, necessitating robust and adaptive control...

Current research with Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) has focused on adapting an efficient consensus mechanism and reducing the blockchain size while maintaining security. Care must be taken when implementing blockchains within VANET applications...

The lack of general algorithms for the control of nonlinear systems is a generalized problem, especially when attempting to stabilize systems such as ground vehicles, which have uncertainties and are usually linearized under the assumption of small a...

On behalf of MÁV Hungarian State Railways Ltd., the authors carried out a research and development (R&D) project on behalf of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Department of Highway and Railway Engineering, on the subjec...

Road authorities worldwide can leverage the advances in vehicle technology by continuously monitoring their roads’ conditions to minimize road maintenance costs. The existing methods for carrying out road condition surveys involve manual observ...

Automotive control functions are becoming increasingly complex and their development is becoming more and more elaborate, leading to a strong need for automated solutions within the development process. Here, reinforcement learning offers a significa...

Reducing costs and time spent in experiments in the early development stages of vehicular technology such as off-road and agricultural semi-autonomous robots could help progress in this research area. In particular, evaluating path tracking strategie...

Since large articulated vehicles have uncertainties in trailer articulation angle as well as dynamic complexity, it is not easy to accurately establish a reliable motion plan. In this paper, two geometric path plans constructed based on the empirical...
