Koshy Cherian, Jeswin (author)Drifting, a specialized form of sideslip control, involves intentionally inducing and maintaining a state of oversteer for lateral sliding of the vehicle. While previous research has primarily focused on autonomous drift control, the integration of the driver in the control loop remains largely unexplored. This thesis aims to explore how a...master thesis 2023

Stubbé, Laurien (author)This thesis describes the concept of a reconfigurable wheelbase for a car as a way to improve agility at higher velocities. Altering the longitudinal position of each wheel with respect to the centre of gravity, leads to a change in lateral wheel forces. This affects the car's yaw rate, therefore making it possible to influence its agility....master thesis 2022

Kramer, Jelle (author)A vehicle that is travelling at high sideslip angles can still be controlled by drifting. Implemented into a vehicle, this phenomenon could lead to increased vehicle safety and performance. Additionally, it could lead to higher acceptance rates of autonomous driving.<br/>In this work a three state vehicle model is used. Using this model,...master thesis 2022

Hu, Eric (author)Over the past few decades vehicles have become more safe than ever. Not only has the chassis design improved substantially, the addition of things such as airbags and seat belts has significantly reduced the fatality rate of passengers involved in traffic accidents. A more recent development are driver assistance systems such as the anti-lock...master thesis 2022

Holten, Bas (author)In-Wheel Motor (IWM) vehicle design introduces a lot of benefits for manufacturers. However, it also decreases the ride comfort in the mid-range of perceivable frequencies. The Unsprung Negative Skyhook (UNS) damper control method offers ride comfort improvement in the same frequency range but has its limitations. This thesis proposes two...master thesis 2019

van Beelen, Ruben (author)One of the most promising ideas in autonomous vehicle control systems is letting the vehicle drive autonomously outside the normal, linear, operating region and letting it "drift". By doing so, the maneuverability of the vehicle could be enhanced. To enable systems that can control this behaviour, estimation of certain vehicle states is needed...master thesis 2019

Fritz, Casper (author)The automotive industry is continuously improving the safety and comfort of the vehicles. To improve the safety and comfort of the vehicle more focus is put on improving driver assistance systems and also on making the vehicles more autonomous. In order for the safety systems to work properly and also to drive autonomously, it becomes essential...master thesis 2018

Hashish, Ahmed (author)This thesis covers the implementation of Event-Triggering Control (ETC) on Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). CACC has the potential to increase road capacity, by having safe vehicle following with small intervehicle distance (less than 1 second), to increase traffic flow by eliminating shockwave effects, such that string-stable...master thesis 2018

Westerhof, Bernhard (author)Research in the motorcycle industry is lagging behind research in the automotive industry. Especially with respect to safety, more research is needed, since motorcycles are overrepresented in the number of road casualties and injuries. Important tools in vehicle research are vehicle simulators. The use of motorcycle simulators enables...master thesis 2018

Bekkers, Rik (author)Lateral acceleration is a key aspect of the vehicle response perceived by the driver. Assistance systems such as Active Rear Steering (ARS) or Torque Vectoring (TV) are developed to modify the lateral acceleration response such that the vehicle has an improved stability and an extended linear handling region. With this extended linear handling...master thesis 2018

den Hartog, Daniel (author)Self-driving vehicles are the future of automotive engineering. Systems that take over control from the driver are developed to be able to interact with the conditions of the road and other obstacles. To develop these systems, developers use vehicle models to simulate the behaviour of the moving vehicle. The systems developed using these models...master thesis 2018

Struijk, M. (author)Four Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles are almost as old as the automobile itself, however for more than half a century the main use case of a 4WD system was to improve traction on off-road terrains. The advancement in technology over the recent decades resulted in more advanced and light weight solutions shifting the focus more towards sports cars and...master thesis 2015
