A forklift truck is a transport vehicle that is commonly used in logistics and at construction sites. Operating a forklift truck incorrectly may cause a load being carried to drop, which in turn may result in an accident. Accidents are particularly likely to occur while a forklift truck is turning or lifting its fork. In this study, we consider accidents that occur while a forklift truck is turning...
Although instances of forklift trucks overturning due to accident are relatively rare, many people have lost their lives in such accidents. The center of gravity of the load placed on the fork is high, and since the moving forklift truck loses its balance and overturns, throwing the driver out of the cabin and burying him or her underneath the truck itself or the load, resulting in serious injury...
Under normal operation, a driver will manipulate the steering wheels to control the yaw rate. In an unexpected case like risk aversion, the driver will manipulate the steering wheel as to suppress a lateral acceleration. Depending on the objective of the vehicle at a given time, the D∗ value align with a lateral acceleration and a yaw rate is define and input. The idea here is to understand the real...
This paper contributes to increase knowledge about a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach to untripped rollover prevention of heavy vehicles which make a panic lane change maneuver in order to avoid an obstacle in the path. Active differential braking control shows good effect on limit roll angle during an urgent situation. However, at the same time of avoiding rollover accidents, prohibiting the...
According to the National Police Agency, there has been an increase in the number of automobile crash victim; therefore, it is necessary to manufacture vehicles that anybody can safely drive. Even if such vehicles are possible, drivers still may drive dangerously. Therefore, plans to reduce driver overconfidence are necessary. The road surface conditions on the right side of a vehicle may differ from...
On the wet road surface, if abrupt steering is turned, an accident will occur. The driver may lose control of the steering wheel by sudden side winds. There is no knowing when a terrible accident may occur. Then, it makes it possible about the trajectory tracking control according to change of speed. We derive the trajectory tracking control in consideration of the influence by speed change and the...
