Decentralized Reconfigurable Control for Large-Scale Systems with Application to a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)
Designing a decentralized reconfigurable control (DRC) system is considered for large-scale systems. The objective of the DRC system is to achieve performance requirements under normal and sensor failure situations. The ...
Evaluation of the environmental effects of intelligent cruise control vehicles
(2001)
Intelligent cruise control (ICC) vehicles are already commercially available in Japan and should be ready for the North American market by next year. Although the controllers are local and string stable, it is not clear ...
Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semi-automated vehicles
(IEEE, 1999)
While dedicated highways with fully automated vehicles is a far in the future objective, the introduction of semi-automated vehicles on current highways designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near ...
Fuzzy traffic density homogenizer for automated highway system
(IEEE, 1994)
In this paper, a fuzzy traffic density homogenizer is proposed to alleviate or avoid the congestion by smoothing the traffic density distribution profile over the freeway. The proposed fuzzy traffic density homogenizer ...
Entrainment and vehicle following controllers design for autonomous intelligent vehicles
(American Automatic Control Council, 1994)
Entrainment and vehicle following controllers are proposed for autonomous intelligent vehicles in both non-tight and tight vehicle following maneuvers. A nonlinear vehicle model is used for designing the controllers. The ...
Traffic Density Control for Automated Highway Systems
(1997)
Traffic flow instabilities such as traffic congestion are often caused by ad hoc and inappropriate speeds and headways that humans choose when they operate their vehicles. In an automated highway system (AHS) environment, ...
Roadway traffic controller design for automated highway systems
(IEEE, 1994)
For manual driving, the traffic flow is often irregular, unstable leading to congestion and to low traffic flow rate during minor incidents. These irregularities are due to variation of vehicle speeds and headways that are ...
Stable indirect adaptive control of continuous-time systems with no a priori knowledge on the parameters
(Publ by Pergamon Press Inc, 1993)
A crucial drawback of indirect adaptive control is the stabilizability or controllability of the estimated plant model which is required in order to calculate the controller parameters. Loss of stabilizability at a particular ...
Adaptive linear quadratic design with application to F-16 fighter aircraft
(2004)
This paper investigates an adaptive linear quadratic (ALQ) control design with its application to the longitudinal model of the F-16 fighter aircraft. The certainty equivalence principle is used to combine the adaptive law ...
Intelligent cruise control: Theory and experiment
(Publ by IEEE, 1993)
Automated vehicle control systems (AVCS) is an important part of intelligent vehicle and highway systems (IVHS) whose long term goal is to improve freeway capacity and safety and reduce pollution through vehicle and highway ...
