We study the platoon control of vehicles with third-order nonlinear dynamics under constant time headway spacing policy. consider a vehicle model parameter uncertainties and external disturbances propose distributed law based on an event-triggered extended state observer. First, observer is designed to estimate unmodeled in model. Then dynamics, by using modified dynamic surface method. The eac...

The modern growth of computer and its related hardware is consequence of the invention of the transistor. The advent of transistor principally revolutionized the hardware engineering by reducing the hardware size and increasing the efficiency. Now, we are swarmed in with the influx of sophisticated computer gadgets and communication devices, combining ingenious ideas and state of the art design...

All recent technological developments in the field of power distribution hybrid electric tracked vehicles are often hard to apply and carry high computational burden which makes them impractical for real-time applications. In this paper, a novel control strategy is proposed parallel vehicle based on robust easy implement thermostat with added merits follower (PFCS). The goal enhanced fuel econo...

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are being used extensively in civilian and military applications for such as underground mining, nuclear plant operations, planetary exploration, intelligence, surveillance reconnaissance (ISR) missions manned-unmanned teaming. We consider a multi-objective, multiple-vehicle routing problem which teams of manned ground vehicles (MGVs) AMRs deployed respectively l...

We study platoon control of vehicles with linear third-order longitudinal dynamics under the constant time headway policy. The controller each follower vehicle is only based on its own velocity, acceleration, inter-vehicle distance and velocity difference respect to immediate predecessor, which are all obtained by on-board sensors. develop distributed cooperative extended state observers for fo...

Intelligent braking system has a lot of potential applications especially in developed countries where research on smart vehicle and intelligent highway are receiving ample attention. The system when integrated with other subsystems like automatic traction control system, intelligent throttle system, and auto cruise system, etc will result in smart vehicle maneuver. The driver at the end of the...

In considering the problem of formation control in the deployment of intelligent munitions, it would be highly desirable, both from a mission and a cost perspective, to limit the information that is transmitted between vehicles in formation. In a previous paper, we proposed an adaptive output feedback approach to address this problem. Adaptive formation controllers were designed that allow each...

In this paper, we present a cooperative control architecture for high-order multivehicle systems having non-identical nonlinear uncertain dynamics. The proposed methodology consists of a local cooperative controller and a vehicle-level controller for each vehicle. The former controller receives the relative output measurements of the neighboring vehicles in order to solve a containment problem ...

in this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. to this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using lagrange equations of motion. then, using adams multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in matlab software is verified. after that, ...

in this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. the error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. the introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...
