Many original equipment manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers have recently proposed various vehicle corner concepts. This technology offers numerous benefits for enhancing vehicle dynamics but presents several challenges. Field testing of the corners installed on a vehicle demonstrator could be an ideal…
Vehicle comfort, handling, and stability can be improved by a semi-active suspension with advanced control algorithms using the vertical velocities of the sprung mass (SM) and the unsprung masses (UMs) as inputs. Displacement and acceleration sensors are often used to estimate vertical velocities of…

Integrated chassis control systems represent a significant advancement in the dynamics of ground vehicles, aimed at enhancing overall performance, comfort, handling, and stability. As vehicles transition from internal combustion to electric platforms, integrated chassis control systems have evolved to…
The presented paper is dedicated to the driving comfort evaluation in the case of the electric vehicle architecture with four independent wheel corners equipped with in-wheel motors (IWMs). The analysis of recent design trends for electrified road vehicles indicates that a higher degree of integration…
With the automotive industry moving towards automated driving, sensing is increasingly important in enabling technology. The virtual sensors allow data fusion from various vehicle sensors and provide a prediction for measurement that is hard or too expensive to measure in another way or in the case of…
Gravel pavement has lower construction costs but poorer performance than asphalt surfaces on roads. It also emits dust and deforms under the impact of vehicle loads and ambient air factors; the resulting ripples and ruts constantly deepen, and therefore increase vehicle vibrations and fuel consumption,…
