This paper investigates the possibility of computing the actual position of a passenger car based on different independent internal signals available in a production car. A new front wheel based dead reckoning approach is compared to a model based approach as well as to an Extended Kalman Filter. Depending on the method the input signals are the wheel revolutions of the front wheels, the steering angle and the yaw rate. Experimental results show the quality of all three algorithms compared to position data obtained by a DGPS system and also to the well known rear wheel based dead reckoning approach.

Internal thermally coupled distillation column (ITCDIC) is the frontier of energy saving distillation research. In the paper, an evaluation method on operating cost and its saving in the ITCDIC processes of ideal mixtures is presented. A mathematical model for optimization is first derived. The benzene-toluene system is studied as an illustrative example. The optimization results show that the energy cost saving potential is close to 40% and annual energy cost saving is about 0.3 million dollars compared with the operating cost of a conventional distillation column operated at the minimum reflux ratio. The process analysis is also carried out. The optimal operating conditions and some useful results are obtained. These pave the way for the smooth operation and the further optimal design of ideal ITCDIC processes.

For many practical applications, a combination of theoretical and experimental modelling appears feasible. Qualitative knowledge about the most significant effects are often known or easily accessible. This contribution suggests a semi-physical modelling approach based on the special architecture of local models. Due to their inherent transparency, these models are very well suited for the incorporation of mainly qualitative process knowledge. The integration of prior knowledge is realised by an adaptation of the model structure to that one of the process. As a result, the final process-specific models are characterised by high generalisation performance also in situations with only few measurement data.

A design method for determining control sequences for rest-to-rest maneuvers of flexible structures with multiple actuators and multiple resonant modes is described. The problem formulation. is based on a pole cancellation approach with constraints on both the magnitude and the time rate of change of the control inputs. Time-optimality can be traded for an increased level of robustness with respect to modeling errors. Robustification is achieved by placing additional zeros of the controller on some or all of the resonant poles of the system.

This paper presents the design of a model-based supervision and diagnosis system for hydraulic and future electro-hydraulic passenger car braking systems. A state space model of the braking system has been derived, which allows calculation of the individual wheel brake cylinder pressures as well as the amount of brake fluid consumed due to faults in the braking system. Based on this model, a real-time supervision system has been developed, which allows early detection and diagnosis of leakages and air entrapments in the hydraulic subsystem. This supervision system only requires data of sensors which are already available in modern passenger cars.

This paper is concerned with the statistical analysis of closed loop data for diagnosing the causes of poor control loop performance. Higher Order Statistical (HOS) techniques have been developed over the last two decades, but until now have not been applied to the area of process monitoring. The main contribution of this work is to utilize the higher order statistical tools such as cumulants and their frequency domain counterparts (bispectrum, bicoherence, trispectrum) to detect and quantify the non-Gaussianity and nonlinearity of regulated processes or control error variables which are sometimes the main contributors to the poor performance of many of the control loops. The bicoherence index together with the process and manipulated variable plots are used to diagnose the sources of system nonlinearities. Successful application of the proposed method is demonstrated on simulated as well as industrial data.

This paper presents fuzzy identification of two bioprocesses employing TSK-type models. A “Modified Gram-Schmidt” (MGS) orthogonal estimator is used to estimate the consequent parameters. This approach is then applied to identify two distinct cases involving dissolved oxygen concentration: one related to a bioreactor and the other one related to an activated sludge process. The obtained models are then cross-validated.
