An open-source scaled automobile platform for fault-tolerant electronic stability controlAn open-source scaled automobile platform for fault-tolerant electronic stability control Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-272010enToday's technology allows the construction of complex experimental apparatus with reasonable budget. This paper supplies detailed guidelines for constructing a low-cost scaled automobile platform for research and education in vehicle dynamics and control. It summarizes the knowledge gathered when designing, building, and evaluating a model car, which was deployed in a real-world environment for testing an electronic stability control (ESC) algorithm. The model car was built using off-the-shelf hardware and open-source software. Data from a variety of onboard sensors are fused in real time so as to deliver accurate measurements to the ESC algorithm, whereas sensor fault diagnosis is achieved at the same time through an innovative approach based on artificial neural networks (NNs). The detailed presentation of this case study provides a roadmap on how a researcher can build effective experimental automotive platforms for research and educational purposes.Δημοσίευση σε επιστημονικό περιοδικό http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Magazine9592303 - 2314 Katzourakis Diomidis Κατζουρακης Διομηδης Papaefstathiou Ioannis Παπαευσταθιου Ιωαννης Lagoudakis Michael Λαγουδακης Μιχαηλ Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Accelerometer Hall effect sensor Java Ubuntu Linux electronic stability control (ESC) gyroscope microcontroller neural network (NN) open-source software radio-controlled (RC) model car remote access single board computer (SBC) sockets
