The growing interest toward active safety systems leads to a rapid development of different sensors and systems. One key aspect for all systems is the knowledge about the car environment. This knowledge is essential for safety applications such as PreCrash. A PreCrash system generates information about location, moving direction and relative velocity of critical objects in the car environment immediately before an imminent and inevitable accident happens. Different types of actuators can benefit from this information for in-time deployment and the choice of the right deployment energy. In this paper a PreCrash system is proposed, which uses two short range radars and a laser scanner to obtain the required environmental data. The short range radars and the laser scanner will be mounted in the front of a test vehicle. The sensors are able to observe multiple targets within a field of view in front of the car. To develop a highly reliable environment sensing system, competitive fusion approaches using different types of sensors are appropriate. The challenge in realizing such a fusion system is the optimal utilization of the detection performance of each sensor type and the developing of a fast architecture for using it in the automotive environment. As two examples for such a fusion strategy a commonly utilized decision level fusion approach is discussed and a newly developed grid fusion approach is introduced. It is based on a virtual grid in front of the car in which the sensor readings are mapped into. The architecture of the grid is directly adapted to the requirements of the application and the sensor specifications. The data extraction out of the grid is based on simple and well known strategies. Decision strategies to increase the certainty of object identity are also proposed in this paper.

Automotive pedestrian protection systems will be introduced in the EU in short term to reduce the number of accidents and injury fatalities. As with any safety issue, a comprehensive approach comprising both active and passive safety elements should be followed and it is also valid for pedestrian protection. Passive safety short term solutions can be contact sensor systems that trigger raisable engine hoods. This paper discusses an innovative approach for pedestrian detection and localization, by presenting a system based on two short range radars and an array of passive infrared thermopile sensors, aided with probabilistic techniques for detection improvement. The two short range radars are integrated in the front bumper of the test vehicle. They are able to observe and track multiple targets in the region of interest. However, one difficulty is to distinguish between pedestrians and other objects. Therefore, a second sensor system is required to classify pedestrians reliably. This system consists of spatial distributed thermopile sensors which measure the object presence within their respective field-of-view independently. These measurements are then validated and fused using a mathematical framework. Thermopiles are excellent to detect the thermal radiation emitted by every human. However, a robust signal-interpretation algorithm is mandatory. In this work a statistical approach combining Dempster-Shafer theory with occupancy-grid method is used to achieve reliable pedestrian detection. Thermopile and radar sensors use independent signature-generation phenomena to develop information about the identity of objects within the field of view. They derive object signatures from different physical processes and generally do not cause a false alarm on the same artifacts. The integration of the sensor readings from the radar and thermopile system is conducted using unifying sensor-level fusion architecture.

Currently the doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) is often used in wind power plants. The digital rotor current controller is always based on DFIM models linearized within a sampling period which does not correspond to the nonlinear nature of the DFIM. The paper deals with a nonlinear control scheme with direct decoupling and presents some first investigation results. This new controller helps to improve ride-through of the wind turbine during grid faults

Power system stabilizers (PSS) play an important role in damping of power system oscillations. An intensive research activity has been devoted to design of their structure and optimal setting of their parameters. In this paper the simultaneous optimization of multiloop PSS and automatic voltage regulator parameters (AVR) by means of genetic algorithm is proposed. Using an example of the 259 MVA turbogenerator excitation system in the nuclear power plant Mochovce (Slovak Republic) it is shown that the genetic algorithms are able to find the optimal parameters of excitation system so that the requirements on terminal voltage performances as well as on damping of active power oscillations are satisfied.

Solving a tracking problem does not always give desired results even when the adaptive control methods are used. Some difficulties may occur when the apriori assumptions laid down for the problem solution are not satisfied. One of the serious issues is the existence of unmodeled dynamics in the tracking problem. The proposed solutions are mainly based on robustification of the adaptation law. In this paper we propose to reduce the effect of unmodeled dynamics using the MRAC control law modification so that the standard adaptation law ensures the sufficiently small tracking error.

An algebraic formulation is proposed for the static output feedback (SOF) problem: the Hermite stability criterion is applied on the closed-loop characteristic polynomial, resulting in a non-convex bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) optimization problem for SIMO or MISO systems. As a result, the BMI problem is formulated directly in the controller parameters, without additional Lyapunov variables. The publicly available solver PENBMI 2.0 interfaced with YALMIP 3.0 is then applied to solve benchmark examples. Implementation and numerical aspects are widely discussed.

The aim of this paper is twofold. It provides another option how to obtain a universal easily implementable method for the solution of the regulator equations using the FEMLAB package. The regulator equation originates from the output regulation problem. The main idea is making a slight change of the regulator equation. It is then solved using the finite-element method. Some theoretical aspects concerning solvability of the equations and convergence to the original problem are introduced. Secondly to demonstrate viability of our approach, the results were applied to the real-time control of a gyroscope. Both simulations and real-time laboratory experiments are included.
