Handling describes the driving behavior of a vehicle under steering inputs. It is characterized by: its roll compensation, the amplitude and damping of the body roll motions in curveits stability, the predictability of its yaw reactions and the possibility to modulate themits agility, the amplitude and responsiveness of its yaw reactionsits maneuverability, the ability to direct the vehicle in city traffic under low dynamicsits precision with which the vehicle responds to the driver inputs and follows the target lineits lateral dynamics performance or the maximum reachable lateral acceleration
Manual steering

This relates to the handling characteristics of the vehicle. In this respect, incorrectly aligned front wheels can be one cause of a tendency to wander, thus obliging the driver to make frequent corrections with the steering wheel to maintain a true course.

This study aimed to develop a data model for multichannel communication that facilitates IIoT-enabled DS for SPL in the manufacturing industry. It applied the proposed data model to a Swedish manufacturing company in the automotive industry, focussing on the execution of material handling tasks by AGVs. This study contributes to the extant understanding in three ways. First, the study presents three modelling profiles, including IIoT devices, databases, and services for multichannel communication. This is essential for capturing, processing, and transferring information across products, services, and software essential to realising IIoT-enabled DS in SPL. Second, the proposed modelling profiles are applied to transfer information across monitoring, control, optimisation, and autonomous decision services in the execution of material handling tasks by AGVs. Third, the study presents the operational benefits of applying the proposed data model in a case study for the Swedish automotive industry, including improvements in the delivery, makespan, and energy consumption of material handling.
Managing complex, modular products: how technological uncertainty affects the role of systems integrators in the automotive supply chain

The previous paragraph provided some industry-based examples of modular architectures. These days the automotive industry represents a prime example of a sector where handling complex modular architectures has become an integral part of the business. In the case of the automotive industry, Fixson (2005) pointed out that the automobile market shows increasing numbers of niches, as well as increasing numbers of models in these niches (e.g. sports cars). Helper et al. (1999) and Sako (2003) foresaw, for automotive product architectures, the adoption of heavily modularised vehicles linked together by the effectiveness of the architectural interfaces. Specifically Helper et al. (1999) proposed that critical modular vehicle sub-systems are produced by the OEMs by outsourcing non-modular components.
Vehicle yaw stability control with a two-layered learning MPC

In the past two decades, active safety control systems have been widely applied in the automotive industry to improve driving stability and vehicle handling [1,2]. The yaw stability control (YSC) system is the primary representative among them. Yaw stability control can assist the driver to steer safely on roads with low friction coefficients, avoiding sideslip and loss of control due to tires losing grip. In general, there are two implementations of vehicle yaw stability control. One is the active front-wheel steering system, which adjusts the steering angle of the front wheels; the other is the differential brake control system, which changes the brake force of the tires. Both methods can generate additional torque, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle.
