This research focuses on vehicle dynamics control applications on micro-scale electric vehicle
for enhancing its active safety. The use of in-wheel-motor control in various control objectives as
active safety devices are studied. The control systems for enhancing vehicle dynamics such as direct
yaw moment control for side slip prevention and active front steering for handling by using steer-by-wire
mechanism are studied. Moreover, external sensing systems are integrated to synthesize driver assistance
systems, e.g. lane keeping assist system, and adaptive cruise control system.
NOVEL stands for "Nagai Onward Vehicle Laboratory". The experimental vehicle has been developed
since 2001.
