Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Keviczky, T. (author)The acceptance of automated driving is under the potential threat of motion sickness. It hinders the passengers' willingness to perform secondary activities. In order to mitigate motion sickness in automated vehicles, we propose an optimization-based motion planning algorithm that minimizes the distribution of acceleration energy within the...journal article 2024

de Winkel, K.N. (author), Irmak, T. (author), Happee, R. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)A prime concern for automated vehicles is motion comfort, as an uncomfortable ride may reduce acceptance of the technology amongst the general population. However, it is not clear how transient motions typical for travelling by car affect the experience of comfort. Here, we determine the relation between properties of vehicle motions (i.e.,...journal article 2023

Jain, V. (author), Kumar, Sandeep Suresh (author), Papaioannou, G. (author), Happee, R. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)In the transition from partial to high automation, occupants will no longer be actively involved in driving. This will allow the use of travel time for work or leisure, where high comfort levels preventing motion sickness are required. In this paper, an optimal trajectory planning algorithm is presented in order to minimise motion sickness in...journal article 2023

Rajesh, Nishant (author), Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)Automated vehicles promise numerous advantages to their users. The proposed benefits could however be overshadowed by a rise in the susceptibility of passengers to motion sickness due to their engagement in non-driving tasks. Increasing attention is paid to designing vehicle motion to mitigate motion sickness. In this work, the deep...journal article 2023

Lenssen, Daan (author), Bertipaglia, A. (author), Santafe, Felipe (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)This paper presents an innovative combined control using Model Predictive Control (MPC) to enhance the stability of automated vehicles. It integrates path tracking and vehicle stability control into a single controller to satisfy both objectives. The stability enhancement is achieved by computing two expected yaw rates based on the steering...journal article 2023

Ajanović, Z. (author), Regolin, Enrico (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Ćatić, Hana (author), Horn, Martin (author), Ferrara, Antonella (author)To achieve optimal robot behavior in dynamic scenarios we need to consider complex dynamics in a predictive manner. In the vehicle dynamics community, it is well know that to achieve time-optimal driving on low friction surface, the vehicle should utilize drifting. Hence, many authors have devised rules to split circuits and employ drifting...journal article 2023

Zheng, Y. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Keviczky, T. (author), Sakka, Monzer Al (author), Dhaens, Miguel (author)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...journal article 2022

Mirakhorlo, M. (author), Kluft, N. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Happee, R.

Schenk, L.G.M. (author), Chugh, Tushar (author), Bruzelius, Fredrik (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)This paper aims to find a mathematical justification for the non-linear steady state steering haptic response as a function of driver arm posture. Experiments show that different arm postures, that is, same hands location on the steering wheel but at different initial steering angles, result in a change in maximum driver arm stiffness. This...journal article 2021
