This paper is concerned with the problem of designing a robust adaptive controller for flexible joint robots (FJR). Under the assumption of weak joint elasticity, FJR is firstly modeled and converted into singular perturbation form. The control law consists of a FAT-based adaptive control strategy and a simple correction term. The first term of the controller is used to stability of the slow dy...

This work presents an exemplar of automotive architecture with variability. We extracted it from the actual documentation of Adaptive Cruise Control subsystem. Adaptive Cruise Control is a system responsible for maintaining driver selected speed or driver selected headway. We modeled architecture of the system in two modern architecture description languages: AADL and SysML. We also modeled arc...

Car-following is an important driving behaviour for intelligent vehicles and has a significant impact on traffic efficiency safety. models are widely developed to characterize the human-drivers’ car-following manoeuvre actions adopted in simulation automated vehicle control system development. need be able represent drivers’ while following preceding vehicles. On other hand, controllers compone...

This is an electronic system that allows the vehicle to slow while approaching another vehicle and accelerate again to the preset speed when traffic is cleared. It also warns the driver or applies brake if there is a high risk of a collision. In this project we are going to develop the micro controller based automatic vehicle speed control system. Now-a-days we can see that more number of accid...

As one of the leading method of electric wheelchairs, platoon driving using Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been proposed to keep constant time-headway. The platoon driving system has been widely used assuming straight roads that has good visibility, but has not been used in narrow corridor. While, the gross weight of wheelchair changes drastically depending on passenger’s weight. In this pap...

In this paper, the enhancement of vehicle stability and handling is investigated by control of the active geometry suspension system (AGS). This system could be changed through control of suspension mounting point’s position in the perpendicular direction to wishbone therefore the dynamic is alternative and characteristics need to change. For this purpose, suitable controller needs to change...

This study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) with integral-proportion-Derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) and PID tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. The goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. In t...

Over the recent years, a considerable growth in the number of vehicles on the road has been observed. This increases importance of vehicle safety and minimization of fuel consumption, subsequently prompting manufacturers to equip cars, with more advanced features such as adaptive cruise control (ACC)or collision avoidance and collision warning system (CWS). This paper investigates two control a...

The AUTOPIA program has been working on the development of intelligent autonomous vehicles for the last ten years. Its latest advances have focused on the development of cooperative manœuvres based on communications involving several vehicles. However, so far, these manœuvres have been tested only on private tracks that emulate urban environments. The first experiments with autonomous vehicles ...
