Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of intelligent vehicle and connected autonous vehicle has made the traffic environment changed very much. In the recent condition, the automated vehicle and human-driving vehicle coexist on the road. These new change has brung new scientific and technological challenge to the academia and industry. Intelligent vehicle dynamics and control should face the new problems to enhance vehicle function design and performance. Integrated intelligent vehicle dynamics and control is important to make clear the vehicle dynamics behavior and provide the basis for the control strategy and algorithm design. The aim of the present Special Issue is to collect original papers concerned with integrated intelligent vehicle dynamics and control. Theoretical, numerical and experimental contributions for intelligent, electric, rail and special vehicles are welcome, including but not limited in dynamics analysis, fault diagnosis and control of X-by-wire chassis with suspension, steering and brake, powertrain and energy management.

Title: A tube-based model predictive control for path tracking of autonomous articulated vehicle
Authors: Yonghwan Jeong
Affiliation: Seoul National University of Science & Technology
Abstract: The proposed paper aims to develop a path-following controller for articulated vehicles without steering wheels using tube MPC. This approach minimizes the effect of the model uncertainty to path tracking, thereby improving path tracking performance.
Title: Real-Time Adaptive TECS Gain Tuning Using Neural Networks for Tiltrotor eVTOL
Authors: ChoongHyun Lee, Sangjun Bae, Sung Kyung Hong (corresponding author)
Affiliation: /
Abstract: This paper introduces a neural network-based method for adaptive gain tuning in the Total Energy Control System (TECS) of tiltrotor eVTOL aircraft. Traditional PX4 TECS methods often encounter significant challenges, particularly altitude loss and pitch instability, immediately after transitioning from multicopter to fixed-wing mode. Our approach focuses on optimizing TECS parameters in real-time during this critical phase to enhance overall performance and stability. By utilizing a neural network model, the system continuously adjusts TECS gains based on current and historical flight data, resulting in precise control and reduced energy consumption. To validate our proposed method, we employed Software-in-the-Loop Simulation (SILS) and related techniques. Results from these simulations and subsequent flight tests demonstrate that our method significantly improves control performance and stability, effectively addressing the challenges faced immediately after transition. Ultimately, this work contributes to the reliability and efficiency of tiltrotor eVTOL control systems, paving the way for safer urban air mobility solutions.
