Communication and interaction with semiautonomous ground vehicles by force control steering by Miguel Martinez-Garcia, Roy Kalawsky, Timothy Gordon, Tim Smith, Qinggang Meng, Frank Flemisch

“…In this article, it is proposed that when the human shares the control of a vehicle with an autonomous or semiautonomous system, a force control, or nondisplacement steering wheel (i.e., a steering wheel which does not rotate but detects the applied torque by the human driver) can be advantageous under certain schemes: tight rein or loose rein modes according to the H-metaphor. …”

Mechatronic guidance of rail vehicles through switches and crossings to enable vehicle-based switching by Nabilah Farhat

“…Railway track switches withstand high vertical and lateral forces leading to wear and damage. This necessitates a disproportionately high level of maintenance of over 10 \% of total maintenance costs, despite accounting for less than 0.1 \% of the network length. …”

Benefits of mechatronically guided vehicles on railway track switches by Nabilah Farhat, Christopher Ward, Roger Dixon, Roger Goodall

“…The longer term motivation is to perform the switching function from on-board the vehicle as opposed to from the track as is done conventionally. As a first step towards this, the mechatronic vehicle model is compared against a conventional rail vehicle model on two track scenarios - a moderate speed C type switch and a high speed H switch. …”
