This paper presents a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) based approach to handle different steering scenarios for autonomous vehicles. The proposed methodology consists of the design fast and performant LPV/LFT controller which can track generated yaw rate reference, speed operating range, lane tracking smooth/fast changes. handling dynamic maneuver is achieved by Command Governor (CG), feeds upda...

Reference Governor for Constrained Nonlinear Systems Alberto Bemporad Abstract| This note addresses the problem of satisfying pointwise-in-time input and/or state hard constraints in nonlinear control systems. The approach is based on conceptual tools of predictive control and consists of adding to a primal compensated nonlinear system a Reference Governor (RG). This is a discrete-time device w...

On Thursday, February 12, Gov. Rick Scott held a press conference at the bookstore on FAU’s Boca Raton campus. The governor discussed his proposals to eliminate the sales tax on college textbooks and expand the use of Bright Futures scholarships into the summer semester. By eliminating the sales tax on textbooks, a full time student would save roughly $60 a year and total statewide savings woul...

ABSTRACTRenewable Energy Sources (RES) are well – defined as energy sources, that are in abundance within the natural surroundings and are much inexhaustible. In addition, hydroelectricity (HE) is a vital part of world renewable energy supply and hydropower remains a bulk source of electricity generation because of its environmental friendliness in nature. Modeling is the analysis of the ...
