System and method for controlling a braking effort of a braking system in a powered system

Abstract: A control system is provided for controlling a braking effort of a braking system in a powered system. The powered system travels along a route. The control system includes a controller coupled to the braking system, where the controller is configured to monitor the braking effort of the braking system at a braking region along the route. The controller is further configured to control the braking effort at the braking region, such that the braking effort approaches within a predetermined range of a braking effort threshold, but does not exceed the braking effort threshold. A method is also provided for controlling a braking effort of a braking system in a powered system.

Vehicle driving control structure

Abstract: A vehicle driving control device is configured to improve response to driver braking operation and shorten the free running distance by applying a preliminary braking force to a braking device when a preceding vehicle can no longer be recognized during preceding vehicle following control.

Electronic control system for a variable geometry turbocompressor for an engine provided with a continuous braking device

Abstract: Electronic control system for a variable geometry turbocompressor applied to a diesel engine provided with a continuous braking device. The system is provided with a selector which may be manually actuated and by of which it is possible to control the engagement/disengagement of the continuous braking device and it is possible to select a first braking mode according to which the speed of the engine is maintained substantially constant by controlling the turbocompressor and a second braking method in which the continuous braking device provides the maximum braking power.

Silencing equipment for an air-cooling assembly

Abstract: Silencing equipment is provided for an air-cooling assembly in a off-road vehicle having wheels, traction motors, a power generating dynamic braking mode, resistor grids a resistor grid housing for dissipating the dynamic braking power and a blower. The grid housing includes an air inlet including noise-absorbing material. A conduit with noise-absorbing material is provided for directing cooling air from the inlet through a transition chamber to the blower and the resistor grid in the housing. A removable cover is provided in the conduit for accessing the air blower. The silencing equipment also includes an outlet with plurality of exhaust vanes.

A virtual rider for two-wheeled vehicles

Abstract: This work presents a virtual rider for the control of nonlinear motorcycle models, where the target motion is defined in terms of road path and speed profiles. The virtual rider inputs are the steering torque, the rear wheel driving/braking torque and front wheel braking torque. The virtual rider capability is assessed by guiding a nonlinear motorcycle model in very demanding cornering maneuvers, with roll angle up to 50°, and strong accelerations which lead the vehicle to the stoppie/wheeling extreme conditions.
