Quantitative analysis of dynamic performance of vehicles with uncertain system parameters and road inputs

道路车辆的平顺性、抓地力和稳定性不仅是重要的质量指标，也是重大的公共卫生和安全问题。准确预测和防止车辆在各种情况下的不安全运动仍然是一项重大的技术挑战。该研究旨在发展一种新的设计理论，为解决具有各种不确定性的车辆定量性能分析的挑战迈出了重要的一步。所获得的知识将有助于工程师开发更安全的车辆，也有利于航空，军事和其他运输行业。更广泛的社区将受益于可能降低的死亡率和车祸造成的致命伤害。

Ride comfort, road holding and stability of on-road vehicles are not only important quality indicators but major public health and safety issues. To accurately predict and prevent unsafe motions of a vehicle under all circumstances is still a major technological challenge. The research, which aims to develop a novel design theory, presents a significant step forward in tackling the challenge in the quantitative performance analysis of vehicles with various uncertainties. The acquired knowledge will assist engineers in developing safer vehicles and also benefit the aeronautical, military and other transportation industries. The wider community would benefit by potentially reduced death rates and fatal injuries caused by car crashes.
