SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON ADVANCES IN AUTOMOTIVE TE...

To resolve the urban transportation challenges like congestion  parking  fuel consumption  and
pollution  narrow urban vehicles which are small in footprint and light in their gross weight
are proposed. Apart from the narrow cabin design  these vehicles are featured by their active
tilting system  which automatically tilts the cabin like a motorcycle during the cornering for
comfort and safety improvements. Such vehicles have been manufactured and utilized in city
commuter programs. However  there is no book that systematically discusses the mechanism 
dynamics  and control of narrow tilting vehicles (NTVs). In this book  motivations for building
NTVs and various tilting mechanisms designs are reviewed  followed by the study of their
dynamics. Finally  control algorithms designed to fully utilize the potential of tilting
mechanisms in narrow vehicles are discussed. Special attention is paid to an efficient use of
the control energy for rollover mitigation  which greatly enhance the stability of NTVs with
optimized operational costs.
