The AVEC symposium is a leading international conference in the fields of vehicle dynamics and advanced vehicle control, bringing together scientists and engineers from academia and automotive industry. The first symposium was held in 1992 in Yokohama, Japan. Since then, biennial AVEC symposia have been established internationally and have considerably contributed to the progress of technology in automotive research and development. In 2016 the 13th International Symposium on Advanced Vehicle Control (AVEC’16) was held in Munich, Germany, from 13th to 16th of September 2016. The symposium was hosted by the Munich University of Applied Sciences. AVEC’16 puts a special focus on automatic driving, autonomous driving functions and driver assist systems, integrated control of interacting control systems, controlled suspension systems, active wheel torque distribution, and vehicle state and parameter estimation. 132 papers were presented at the symposium and are published in these proceedings as full paper contributions. The papers review the latest research developments and practical applications in highly relevant areas of vehicle control, and may serve as a reference for researchers and engineers.

Featuring contributions from industry leaders in their respective fields, this volume presents comprehensive, authoritative coverage of all the major issues involved in road vehicle dynamic behavior. It begins with a short history of road and off-road vehicle dynamics followed by thorough, detailed state-of-the-art chapters on modeling, analysis and optimization in vehicle system dynamics, vehicle concepts and aerodynamics, pneumatic tires and contact wheel-road/off-road, modeling vehicle subsystems, vehicle dynamics and active safety, man-vehicle interaction, intelligent vehicle systems, and road accident reconstruction and passive safety.

This book develops a continuous look-ahead preview control scheme and applies the scheme to the well known quarter car model. It particularly focuses on the active and semi-active control of the vehicle systems.

The 21 papers by researchers from around the world discuss such areas as system modeling, innovative design, simulation, testing, and unique applications of artificial neural networks. Some are concerned with specific topics in simulating and designing vehicles, while others address the behavior of

This report documents work performed under FTA's Advance Public Transportation Systems (APTS) Program, a program structured to undertake research and development of innovative applications of advanced navigation, information, and communication technologies that most benefit public transportation. This report presents the results of an analysis conducted by the Volpe Center, for the FTA, to provide an "order-of-magnitude" estimate of the expected benefits to the transit industry with the application of APTS technologies. Specifically, the study identified and quantified the major benefits derived from current applications of APTS technologies within the transit industry and projected current APTS benefits to a national level based on forecasts and reasonable assumptions on the potential future applications of such technologies within the transit industry

This document is an update to the Advanced Transportation Systems (ATS) Program which was published in 1995. The update information is presented in six main sections. 1) "Background": a discussion of the history of ITS/ ATS and its evolution into a national program; 2) "Overview": focuses on the California Program; 3) "Vision": presents the Program vision, and how the ATS Program complements California's policies; 4) "Path to Deployment": presents program elements within the framework of the National Systems Architecture, highlights project work, and presents future scenarios; 5) "Benefits and Costs"; 6) "Conclusion": provides an overview of strategies, roles, and priorities in deployment, and deployment scenarios.
