Curve Tilting With Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Enhancing Motion Comfort

The benefits of automated driving can only be fully realized if the occupants are protected from motion sickness. Active suspensions hold the potential to raise the comfort level in automated passenger vehicles by enabling new functionalities in chassis control. One example is to actively lean the vehicle body toward the center of the corner...

3DOP: Comfort-oriented Motion Planning for Automated Vehicles with Active Suspensions

Motion comfort is the basis of many societal benefits promised by automated driving and motion planning is primarily responsible for this. By planning the spatial trajectory and the velocity profile, motion planners can significantly enhance motion comfort, ideally without sacrificing time efficiency. Active suspensions can push the boundary...
