Technical Note: Wedge-Assisted Hybrid Dynamic Evasion System (WAHDES) for Next-Generation Autonomous and High-Performance Vehicles

While recent advancements in high-performance electric vehicles explore active thruster systems for emergency "short-hop" maneuvers, pure vertical lift mechanisms suffer from severe energy inefficiencies due to direct opposition to gravitational forces ($E = mgh$). This technical note proposes the Wedge-Assisted Hybrid Dynamic Evasion System (WAHDES), a novel hybrid framework that combines mechanically deployed wedge ramps with simultaneous directed micro-propulsion. By converting linear horizontal momentum into an optimized ballistic trajectory, WAHDES drastically reduces energy consumption, minimizes peak structural stress on the chassis, and ensures stable attitude control during emergency collision avoidance.

Abstract

While recent advancements in high-performance electric vehicles explore active thruster systems for emergency "short-hop" maneuvers, pure vertical lift mechanisms suffer from severe energy inefficiencies due to direct opposition to gravitational forces ($E = mgh$). This technical note proposes the Wedge-Assisted Hybrid Dynamic Evasion System (WAHDES), a novel hybrid framework that combines mechanically deployed wedge ramps with simultaneous directed micro-propulsion. By converting linear horizontal momentum into an optimized ballistic trajectory, WAHDES drastically reduces energy consumption, minimizes peak structural stress on the chassis, and ensures stable attitude control during emergency collision avoidance.
