  • Design Vehicles and Turning Radii
    Design Vehicles and Turning Radii Brazhuman corp TTE 4824 Dr. Scott Washburn Introduction Design vehicles are selected motor vehicles with the weight, dimensions, and operating characteristics used to establish highway design controls for accommodating vehicles of designated classes. For purposes of geometric design, each design vehicle has larger physical dimensions and a larger minimum turning radius than most vehicles in its class. Introduction The design of an intersection is significantly affected by the type of design vehicle, including horizontal and vertical alignments, lane widths, turning radii, intersection sight distance, storage length of auxiliary lanes, and acceleration and deceleration lengths on auxiliary lanes. Design Vehicle Classes Four general classes of vehicles have been established, namely, passenger cars, buses, trucks, and recreational vehicles. The passenger car class includes compacts, subcompacts, sedans, pick-up trucks, SUVs, minivans, and full-size vans. Design Vehicle Classes Buses include inter-city (motor coaches), city transit, school, and articulated buses. The truck class includes single-unit trucks, truck tractor-semitrailer combinations, and truck tractors with semitrailers in combination with full trailers. Design Vehicle Classes Recreational vehicles include motor homes, cars with camper trailers, cars with boat trailers, motor homes with boat trailers, and motor homes pulling cars. Additionally, the bicycle should also be considered a design vehicle when its use on a roadway is permitted. Dimensions of Design Vehicles The 2001 AASHTO Green Book includes 19 design vehicles. The dimensions of design vehicles take into account dimensional trends in motor vehicle manufacture and represent a composite of the vehicles currently in operation; however, the design vehicle dimensions must represent the values critical to geometric design and are thus greater than nearly all vehicles belonging to the corresponding vehicle classes.

  • Optimizing the Turning Radius of a Vehicle Using Symmetric Four Wheel Steering System V
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 12, December-2013 2177 ISSN 2229-5518 Optimizing the turning radius of a vehicle using symmetric four wheel steering system V. Arvind Abstract— The main objective of this project is to decrease the turning radius of the vehicle using four wheels symmetric steering system (4WS). The system being analyzed here is a mechanical linkage between the front and the rear axle with a rack and pinion steering system at both the ends. This mechanical system is studied by kinematic analysis of the steering system geometry and the turning radius is calculated for a vehicle with and without this four wheel symmetric steering. These measurements are compared to know the effect of the system on the vehicle in terms of the turning radius.

A revision of the vehicle characteristics and the different modules of our navigation architecture is carried out to put in context our Drive-by-Wire system. The system is composed of a Steer-By-Wire module and a Throttle-By-Wire module that allow driving the vehicle by using some commands of lineal speed and curvature, which are sent through a local network from the control unit of the vehicle. Additionally, a Manual/Automatic switching system has been implemented, which allows the driver to activate the autonomous driving and safely taking control of the vehicle at any time. Finally, some validation tests were performed for our Drive-By-Wire system, as a part of our whole autonomous navigation architecture, showing the good working of our proposal.
