This paper presents a path planning approach of several UAVs for Radio Frequency (RF) source localization in None Line Of Sight (NLOS) propagation condition using the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). The paths are planned such that the lower bound of standard deviation of localization error, which is equivalent to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) of the estimation, minimized at any time. Due to the complexity of Jacobin calculation to perform global CRLB optimization, the local values of CRLBs in the current waypoint and next probable waypoints are used in the steepest decent approach to determine the best path. Furthermore, the complexity is reduced by discretizing the space for UAVs to make the computation feasible. The effect of NLOS propagation on the RSSI measurements is simulated by a log-normal distribution and the last estimation of radio source location is used to calculate the local CRLBs. The proposed approach has been simulated and compared with the basic bio-inspired approach of going toward the sensed direction of the source. The result shows better performance than the basic approach.

The hybrid localization using Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Received Strength Signal Indicator (RSSI) of an RF source, such as a cell phone in a search and rescue mission, with unknown power and None Line Of Sight (NLOS) condition have been proven to be advantageous compared to using each method separately. The hybrid approach has been proposed to benefit from both RSSI and AOA measurements. In this paper, the initial hybrid method, which was implemented using particle filters due to the multi-modal/non-Gaussian nature of localization in NLOS condition, has been replaced by a multi-step Gaussian filtering approach which provides nearly similar accuracy with better performance. The proposed method has been implemented using extended Kalman filter and Unscented Kalman filter. The simulation results show that the multi-step Gaussian filtering is comparable to particle filter in all cases with better performance. For further evaluation, the effects of uncertainty in the propagation parameters have been studied to show the robustness of each filter to these uncertainties.

In this paper experimental results of testing slip-based traction control system (TCS) with an on-line road condition estimation are presented. TCS is designed for a car with in-wheel electric motors, so that estimation and control are implemented independently for each wheel thus enabling the optimal friction coefficient for every wheel, even if they are on different surfaces or have different tire characteristics. A road condition is approximated using a function which is estimated in the real-time and used as the input to the TCS. The design of the presented TCS is based on the wheel slip ratio, controlled to it's optimal value by a PI controller and with the addition of a feedforward branch for the transition response speed up. System is tested on a newly developed experimental setup consisting of the wheel with embedded (in-wheel) motor rolling on the metal drum loaded by the second motor simulating car behaviour.

This paper presents the design of a methodology for distributed detection and isolation of multiple sensor faults in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The proposed methodology is developed in a distributed framework with the HVAC system modeled as a set of interconnected, nonlinear subsystems. A local sensor fault diagnosis (LSFD) agent is designed for each of the interconnected subsystems. The LSFD agent uses input and sensor output data of its underlying subsystem and it may exchange information with the neighboring agents. The distributed sensor fault detection is conducted using robust analytical redundancy relations, formulated by estimation-based residuals and adaptive thresholds. The distributed sensor fault isolation is carried out by combining the decisions of the LSFD agents and applying a reasoning-based decision logic. Simulation results are used for illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed methodology applied to a two-zone HVAC system.
