Real-time parallel parameter estimators for a second-order macroscopic traffic flow model
(2006)
The on-line estimation of traffic flow characteristics could be used for traffic control, incident management etc. This paper presents a real-time parameter estimation scheme based on a second-order macroscopic traffic ...
Longitudinal control of heavy trucks: Environmental and fuel economy considerations
(2004)
In this paper we design, analyze, simulate and experimentally test longitudinal vehicle following controllers for heavy trucks with different spacing policies and evaluate their performance in mixed traffic with passenger ...
Dynamical neural networks that ensure exponential identification error convergence
(1997)
Classical adaptive and robust adaptive schemes, are unable to ensure convergence of the identification error to zero, in the case of modeling errors. Therefore, the usage of such schemes to 'black-box' identification of ...
Robust switching adaptive control of multi-input nonlinear systems
(1998)
During the last decade a considerable progress has been made in the design of stabilizing controllers for nonlinear systems with known and unknown constant parameters. New design tools such as adaptive feedback linearization, ...
Hybrid polaritons in strongly coupled microcavities: Experiments and models
(2004)
We describe the fabrication of one-dimensional quantum microcavities containing two different layers of molecular J-aggregates. We show that strong coupling can occur between the confined cavity photon mode and the two ...
Complex-valued tapers
(2005)
The spectral estimation method based on the average of short, tapered periodograms is re-examined. The bias of such estimators is typically O(1/b2), where b is the length of the short blocks. Much of the current researeh ...
Eight-Dimensional Quantum Hall Effect and "Octonions"
(2003)
A generalization of the quantum Hall effect (QHE) where particles move in an eight-dimensional space under an SO(8) gauge field was constructed. A nonrelativistic Hamiltonian for particles moving on the S8 in the presence ...
