“Cyber Proving Ground for Intelligent Vehicle on Driving Simulator”
Abstract: I Intelligent vehicles present a new research and development
frontier in the automotive industry given the likelihood an intelligent vehicle • Investigated a universal driver model that integrated controls of the
will become available in the near future. The validation, verification, and
calibration of intelligent vehicles are costly, time-consuming, and risky
when carried out with an actual car in real environments. Consequently,
using a driving simulator as the cyber-proving-ground offers a better way
to validate, verify, and calibrate intelligent vehicles. This presentation will
describe the means of using a driving simulator for intelligent vehicles
being developed at Jilin University, and addresses the challenges of cyber
proving ground on simulating the complexities of the stochastic driver and
vehicle traffic within the traffic environment. In addition, this presentation
explores the theory and test methodology of how drivers receive cues for
following, safety, efficiency, and lawful driving style. It also discusses how
a statistical database for driving styles of Chinese drivers is established
(using a large number of experiments) with consideration of drivers’
operation time-history signal and physiological and psychological states.
In addition, it describes the modeling of the complex traffic environments
and the dynamic simulation methods. This presentation also includes a
discussion of how the stochastic driver-model was established using the
statistical characteristics of driving behaviors to represent the group of
drivers. With this model, the behavior of realistic anthropomorphic vehicle
traffic was accurately simulated. Research on the virtual sensors is also
presented along with a quick-culling model to simulate the camera and
radar and to obtain objects from the cyber-proving-ground. Finally, an
intelligent vehicle controller was integrated with the cyber-proving-ground
driving simulator and successfully calibrated. The method offers
considerable savings of money and time and avoids the numerous trials
and safety risks associated with field testing.
Biography: Professor Guan currently serves in several key positions in the
Chinese automotive sector, including the Vice-President of the Society of
Automotive Engineers of China, the editorial board of the International
Journal of Vehicle Performance, the Director of the Automotive Dynamics
Branch of the National Automobile Standardization Committee, the Jilin
Provincial Government Counselor, and the leading expert of the overall
group of 863 major projects of the Chinese Ministry of Science and
Technology. Prof. Guan served as Dean of the College of Automotive
Engineering of Jilin University from 2004 to 2012, and the Director of the
State Key Laboratory of Automotive Simulation and Control from 1996 to
2015. He has received three first-prize awards for provincial scientific and
technological achievements. In addition, he received the Golden Bull
Award of National Key Laboratory Program provided by the Ministry of
Science and Technology in 2008, the China Automobile Industry Youth
22 Science and Technology Award in 1998, and the China Science and
Technology Outstanding Achievement Award from GM in 1996.
The specific academic contributions of Dr. Xin Guan include:
• Established, in 1993, the State Key Laboratory of Automotive Simulation
and Control at Jilin University and successfully developed the first
vehicle driving simulator with an investment of more than 25 million
Chinese Yuan. The simulator was designated as one of the top in Asia,
and has been successfully applied to the development of more than
10 independent vehicles in China.
• Created a unique vehicle dynamics with stick-slip friction model, wheel
carcass dynamics, and dynamic steering system model. The model
successfully solves shortcomings with the classic model, which is not
accurate when simulating high-speed steering, shimmy, and other
transient processes.
longitudinal and lateral motion of vehicles, which can be used for various
driving simulations of intelligent vehicles. The model gives a unique
innovation scheme that complies with level 3+ intelligent vehicles.

“Tracing the Origins of the Automated ‘Fly-By-Wire’ Technology Used in
Contemporary Formula 1 Cars”
Abstract: The lecture starts with a review of the early work done on vehicle
stability done at CAL in the 1950’s by Bill Milliken and his colleagues made
possible by then recent developments in hydraulic technology. It moves
on to describe the subsequent development of active suspension and
associated systems by Lotus Engineering and Team Lotus in the early
1980’s and the widespread adoption of this technology by Williams GP
and the other F1 teams around 1990. At this point there is a brief analysis
of why hydraulic technology has been used almost universally in these
applications despite dramatic developments in electric motor performance.
After a review of the automated systems or ‘driver aids’ used on the current
crop of Formula 1 and WEC cars, the lecture concludes with a description of
other applications of F1 miniature hydraulics, Namely: Autonomous Robots,
America’s cup yachts and Oil & gas exploration.
Biography: Martin Jones works as Motorsport Market Manager for the
Moog Industrial Group in the UK-where he is responsible for the
development & technical support of Moog’s global motor racing business.
He studied Physics and Economics at the University of East Anglia and
subsequently Control Engineering at Bath University. In a career of over 35
years at Moog he has been instrumental in the design and development of
many automated actuation systems including:
• Wave compensated hoisting systems for offshore cranes.
• Active suspension and satellite guidance systems for agricultural
vehicles.
