Maneuver Movements’ Safety Increase Using Maneuver Locomotive Identification and Distance Control

Object Correlation and Maneuver Detection Using Optimal Control Performance Metrics

Object correlation and maneuver detection are persistent problems in space surveillance and space object catalog maintenance. This paper demonstrates the utility of using quadratic trajectory control cost, an analog to the trajectory L2-norm in control, as a distance metric with which to both correlate object tracks and detect maneuvers using Uncorrelated Tracks (UCTs), real-time sensor measure...

Formation and Maneuver Control of Multiple Spacecraft

In this paper, we propose a novel control scheme that enables a group of multiple spacecraft to maneuver according to a desired trajectory while the internal shape of the group is ensured to converge to a prescribed formation structure. The main innovation of this paper lies in the design of a special decomposition that decomposes the dynamics of the group into two parts: dynamics of the overal...

Robust backstepping control for slew maneuver using nonlinear tracking function

The backstepping control method provides useful control logic, especially for a cascaded system. Because spacecraft dynamics and kinematics form a cascaded system, the spacecraft slew maneuver problem can be solved using the backstepping control method. However, the simple linear backstepping controller may result in poor design: sluggish motion, trivial nonlinear term cancellation, and excessi...

Situation refinement for vehicle maneuver identification and driver's intention prediction

In safety automotive applications the system must me capable of early recognizing the maneuvers performed by the driver and the intention associated with them in order to take preventive measures or trigger warning alarms. This is done by the situation refinement level in the fusion system that processes the data provided by the on-board sensors. By recognizing relationships between entities of...
