Design Innovations in Waterway Transport: Leveraging Horizontal Buoyancy

2025-01-5080

12/15/2025

This paper attempts to introduce a unique water transport system by using open-bottomed air tanks in a water transport vehicle and using horizontal buoyancy instead of vertical buoyancy. This study explains how a certain amount of horizontal buoyancy is generated by attaching open-bottomed air vessels to commonly used small watercraft. In contrast to the fact that vehicles generally require a lot of water for all water transport, this new mode of transport can use a minimal amount of water, as appropriate for the weight, through a sufficient literature survey. The proposed water–air–based vehicle integrates open-bottomed air vessels with a hydrofoil system to generate horizontal propulsion. A model analysis is conducted to explain how the horizontal buoyancy force generated by the air vessels is related to the vertical buoyancy force, and their values at different depths are tabulated. The vehicle model can achieve a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s, handling 20–70 kg payload, highlighting

Development of an Adaptive Algorithm for the Automatic Emergency Braking System

10-10-01-0008

12/13/2025

Automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems are crucial for road safety but often face performance challenges in complex road and climatic conditions. This study aims to enhance AEB effectiveness by developing a novel adaptive algorithm that dynamically adjusts braking parameters. The core of the contribution is a refined mathematical model that incorporates vehicle-specific correction coefficients and a real-time prediction of the road–tire friction coefficient. Furthermore, the algorithm features a unique driver-style adaptation module to optimize warning times. The developed system was functionally tested on a vehicle prototype in scenarios including dry, wet, and snow-covered surfaces. Results demonstrate that the adaptive algorithm significantly improves collision avoidance performance compared to a non-adaptive baseline, particularly on low-friction surfaces, without introducing excessive false interventions. The study concludes that the proposed adaptive approach is a vital step

Identification of Runway Friction Coefficient Using Extended Kalman Filter

09-13-02-0012

12/11/2025

Aircraft operations during landing or takeoff depend strongly on runway surface conditions. Safe runway operations depend on the tire-to-runway frictional force and the drag offered by the aircraft. In the present research article, a methodology is developed to estimate the braking friction coefficient for varied runway conditions accurately in real-time. To this end, the extended Kalman filtering technique (EKF) is applied to sensor-measured data using the on-ground mathematical model of aircraft and wheel dynamics. The aircraft velocity and wheel angular velocity are formulated as system states, and the friction coefficient is estimated as an augmented state. The relation between the friction coefficient and wheel slip ratio is established using both simulated and actual ground roll data. Also, the technique is evaluated with the simulated data as well as real aircraft taxi data. The accuracy of friction estimation, with and without the measurement of normal reaction force on the

FMVSS 105 Inertia Brake Dynamometer Test Procedure for Vehicles Above 4540 kg GVWR

J2684_202512 (Current)

12/11/2025

This SAE Recommended Practice is derived from the FMVSS 105 vehicle test and applies to two-axle multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses with a GVWR above 4540 kg (10000 pounds) equipped with hydraulic service brakes. There are two main test sequences: the Development Test Sequence for generic test conditions when not all information is available or when an assessment of brake output at different inputs is required, and the FMVSS Test Sequence when vehicle parameters for brake pressure as a function of brake pedal input force and vehicle-specific loading and brake distribution are available. The test sequences are derived from the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 105 (and 121 for optional sections) as single-ended inertia-dynamometer test procedures when using the appropriate brake hardware and test parameters. This recommended practice provides Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), brake and component manufacturers, and aftermarket suppliers with results related to
