Laboratory of mechanical vehicles control
Administrator's Name:
dr inż. Piotr Krauze
Laboratory description:
The research at the laboratory is targeted at adaptive control of suspension system of the experimental vehicle with magnetorheological dampers. The research at this laboratory stand aims at improvement of ride comfort and driving safety. Compared to active elements, the semiactive ones consume much less energy while preserving high efficiency of mechanical vibrations damping. Furthermore, the research is targeted at application of computer vision in road vehicles.
Fields of expertise:
- MR damper
- Adaptive control of suspension system
- Semi-active control
- Ride comfort
- Tire adhesion to road surface
- Vehicle handling
- 2D/3D image acquisition in vehicles
- Detection and classification of objects
- Sensor fusion
- Digital signal processing
- Measurements analysis in time and frequency domain
Conducted research and its potential application/use:
- Detection and classification of road obstacles and irregularities
- Detection of pedestrians
- Modeling of dynamics of road vehicles and MR damper
- Assessment and improvement of ride comfort and driving safety
- Synthesis and validation of adaptive vibration control algorithms
