In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the operating mode of such systems. The proposed method is based on H∞ synthesis for residual estimation. The estimated residuals are coupled with a logic decision to determine the operating mode of the system. The approach is validated in simulation by using the CTM with parametric uncertainties, fed by experimental data.

First, a Kalmanlike observer is used for estimating the power coefficient characteristic, which is then used in a nonlinear control strategy for the electrical generator that secures power maximization. Then, the uncertain power coefficient function is adjusted with a Recursive Least-Square algorithm that uses the estimate of the power coefficient as reliable information. Finally, from the adjusted power coefficient polynomial is computed the optimal electrical generator speed reference that leads the system to operate near the theoretical optimal power. This methodology is illustrated on a simulated example and compared with a case when the wind speed is measured.

The control is extended from the "Acceleration Driven Damping" (ADD) controller combined with a robust fault detection scheme in order to estimate the fault. The approach, based on a quarter of vehicle model includes the nonlinearities of the shock absorber. The robust fault estimation module is based on H∞ background providing robustness. It aims to estimate a sensor fault on the system, especially a bias on accelerometers. Combination of both strategies allows to attenuate the effect the fault on the system. This approved structure aims to be implemented in real time. Validations has been made in a F-Class vehicle in Carsim TM software which provides realistic non-linear vehicle behavior. Results show the effectiveness of the fault tolerant strategy for semi-active dampers.

We introduce a new inter-distance reference model that can be used in cruise control and stop-and-go scenarios. The proposed model is nonlinear and provides dynamic solutions which verify comfort and safety criteria simultaneously. The proposed reference model is based on a compliant model for contact, and has the particularity that its solutions can be described by explicit integral curves.

The strategy selects, at each instant of time, the sensor (belonging to a collection of sensors) that provides the best closed loop performance, as measured by a control-performance criterion. It is assumed that each sensor has an associated feedback controller that has been designed such that the sensor-controller pair stabilises the closed loop system under normal operation conditions. Recent refinements for constructing ultimate-bound invariant sets allow obtaining less conservative fault-tolerant guarantees. Stability of the switching system under fault-free operation conditions and under presence of sensor failures are established in the main r e s u l t so ft h i sp a p e r .

The methodology that was elaborated in this study has the goal to decrease that difference using a comparative analysis of rheological models finding the best model to describe the hydraulic behavior and with this, achieve the optimization of simulated value. The methodology was implemented in each section of the well ANH-PATÍA-1-ST-P, and the results could be applied in projects of the same area.

An accurate information of this data is fundamental for a better understanding of the vehicle behavior and vehicle control systems design. The present paper presents a novel algorithm (observer) suitable for real-time estimation of vertical road profile. The developed approach is based on a quarter-car model, and on elementary measurements delivered by potentially integrable sensors. The road elevation is modeled as a sinusoidal disturbance signal affecting the vehicle system. Since this signal has unknown and time-varying characteristics, the proposed estimation method implements an adaptive control scheme based on the internal model principle and on the use of the Youla-Kucera parametrization technique (also known as Q-parametrization). For performances assessment, estimations are comparatively evaluated with respect to measurements issued from the LPA (Longitudinal Profile Analyzer) profiler during experimental trials. Further, this new method is compared to the approach provided in (Doumiati et al. (2011)), where a Kalman filter is applied assuming a linear road model. Results show the validity and efficiency of the present observer scheme.

The model takes into account the optomechanical coupling between the radial and the vertical control loops. As a result, the coupling effect appears as an amplification of the vertical disturbances around the middle and the high frequencies in the vertical control loop (i.e. the focus servo). In addition, this paper proposes a H ∞ controller which compensates the coupling effect by choosing a suitable weighting function. The behavior of the controlled system is analyzed and discussed by using a simulation example in the frequency domain. This work has been supported by the European BLAZE Program.
