Analysis And Design For Semi-Automatic And Automatic Control Of Vehicles By Permanent Magnets, Hari K. Mehta Jan 1973

Analysis And Design For Semi-Automatic And Automatic Control Of Vehicles By Permanent Magnets, Hari K. Mehta

Masters Theses

"The analysis and design carried out in this study relates to automatic or semi-automatic lateral control of a vehicle. This is one of the three essential subsystems needed for a complete automatic control system. The other two subsystems provide longitudinal control, and intersection or lane-changing control.

The system studied employs a series of permanent magnets which have been embedded vertically in the road and spaced at an interval to be used for position reference, leading to discontinuous error signal. This system has been analyzed by classical Z-transform analysis and control models have been developed for two kinds of controls. First, …
