This study introduces a data-driven approach for state and output feedback control addressing the constrained output regulation problem in unknown linear discrete-time systems. Our method ensures effective tracking performance while satisfying the state and input constraints, even when system matrices are not available. We first establish a sufficient condition necessary for the existence of a solution pair to the regulator equation and propose a data-based approach to obtain the feedforward and feedback control gains for state feedback control using linear programming. Furthermore, we design a refined Luenberger observer to accurately estimate the system state, while keeping the estimation error within a predefined set. By combining output regulation theory, we develop an output feedback control strategy. The stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously proved to be asymptotically stable by further leveraging the concept of λ-contractive sets.

Automotive cyber-physical systems (ACPS) are typical cyber-physical systems because of the joint interaction between the cyber part and physical part. Functional safety requirement (including response time and reliability requirements) for an ACPS function must be assured for safe driving. Auto industry is cost-sensitive, power-sensitive, and environment-friendly. Energy consumption affects the development efficiency of the ACPS and the living environment of people. This paper solves the problem of optimizing the energy consumption for an ACPS function while assuring its functional safety requirement (i.e., energy-efficient functional safety for ACPS). However, implementing minimum response time, maximum reliability, and minimum energy consumption is a conflicting problem. Consequently, solving the problem is a challenge. In this paper, we propose a three-stage design process toward energy-efficient functional safety for ACPS. The topic problem is divided into three sub-problems, namely, response time requirement verification (first stage), functional safety requirement verification (second stage), and functional safety-critical energy consumption optimization (third stage). The proposed energy-efficient functional safety design methodology is implemented by using automotive safety integrity level decomposition, which is defined in the ACPS functional safety standard ISO 26262. Experiments with real-life and synthetic ACPS functions reveal the advantages of the proposed design methodology toward energy-efficient functional safety for ACPS compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.

Autonomous driving has been significantly advanced in todays society, which revolutionized daily routines and facilitated the development of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). A crucial aspect of this system is understanding traffic density to enable intelligent traffic management. With the rapid improvement in deep neural networks (DNNs), the accuracy of density estimation has markedly improved. However, there are two main issues that remain unsolved. Firstly, current DNN-based models are excessively heavy, characterized by an overwhelming number of training parameters (millions or even billions) and substantial computational complexity, indicated by a high number of FLOPs. These requirements for storage and computation severely limit the practical application of these models, especially on edge devices with limited capacity and computational power. Secondly, despite the superior performance of DNN models, their effectiveness largely depends on the availability of large-scale data for training. Growing privacy concerns have made individuals increasingly hesitant to allow their data to be publicly used for model training, particularly in vehicle-related applications that might reveal personal movements, which leads to data isolation issues. In this paper, we address these two problems at once with a systematic framework. Specifically, we introduce the Proxy Model Distributed Learning (PMDL) model for traffic density estimation. PMDL model is composed of two main components. First, we introduce a proxy model learning strategy that transfers fine-grained knowledge from a larger master model to a lightweight proxy model, i.e., a proxy model. Second, we design a distributed learning strategy that trains multiple proxy models with privacy-aware local data and seamlessly aggregates these models via a global parameter server. This ensures privacy protection while significantly improving estimation performance compared to training models with limited, isolated data. We tested
