2013 GSDAA Finalist: Using LabVIEW and PXI for Deterministic Multiple Unit Vehicle Stability Control

[Christina.Hadly]

2013 Transportation Finalist

Using LabVIEW and PXI for Deterministic Multiple Unit Vehicle Stability Control

Author: Michael Arant and Damon Delorenzis, International Center for Automotive Research (ICAR), Clemson University

Challenge: Developing advanced stability control theory and applications to manage multiple-unit articulated vehicles as well as hardware to implement the stability controls on a test vehicle.

Solution: Using the NI PXI platform with M Series DAQ devices to prototype a multiple-unit vehicle measurement and control system along with NI LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module to assess the vehicle’s dynamic state, evaluate system stability (current and predicted future stability), and apply corrective actions as needed to maintain stability.
