The importance of simulation calculations in developing railway vehicles and their subsystems is consistently growing compared to physical experiments track tests [...]

This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...

This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...

This paper addresses the problem of distributed state estimation in formations of vehicles with timevarying measurement topology. One or more vehicles have access to measurements of their own state, while the rest must rely on measurements relative to other vehicles in the vicinity and limited communication to estimate their own state, and it is assumed that the vehicles may gain or lose access...

Diffusion of alternative powertrain concepts in heavy commercial vehicles will start in the upcoming years after electrification and natural gas engines have already been introduced for passenger cars. Numerous quantitative forecasting and technology diffusion models exist for passenger cars but cannot be transferred unchanged to heavy commercial vehicles. A system dynamics model for the diffus...

A general proecological urban road traffic control idea for the street canyon is proposed with emphasis placed on development of advanced continuum field gasdynamical (hydrodynamical) control model of the street canyon. The continuum field model of optimal control of street canyon is studied. The mathematical physics' approach (Eu-lerian approach) to vehicular movement, to pollutants' emission,...

This paper reports a comparative experimental evaluation of proportional derivative and adaptive modelbased control for underwater vehicles. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first such evaluation of modelbased adaptive tracking control for underwater vehicles during simultaneous dynamic motion in all 6 degrees-of-freedom. This experimental evaluation revealed the presence of u...
