Projects:
A Novel Approach for Rollover prevention through active suspension and differential braking
September 2013 to January 2014:
• The project aimed to design a rollover prevention controller for vehicle systems. The vehicle rollover can be prevented by designing LQR controller that minimizes the lateral acceleration, yaw rate error, the roll angle. The differential braking and active suspension are used to generate a yaw and roll moments to prevent roll over once propensity to roll detected using roll over index.
Transient Control of Electro-Hydraulic Fully Flexible Engine Valve Actuation System
