In this paper methods for fault detection and diagnosis of vehicle suspensions are presented. With parameter estimation and parity equations symptoms on the current process status can be extracted. By means of parameter estimation detailed symptoms can be generated, allowing an automatic distinction of different faults. For the automatic classification, neural networks were trained. Parity equations are well suited for a detection of sensor faults, although they do not offer the possibility for a distinction of different faults. All the presented results were obtained with measured data drawn from a test rig and a driving car. The proposed methods are suited for an on-line supervision of the car as well as for technical inspection e.g. in workshops.

In this paper methods for fault diagnosis of car components are presented. Model based methods like parameter estimation can be used for an estimation of the process coefficients. By dividing the nonlinear characteristic curve into several sections good estimation results can be achieved and a diagnosis of the shock absorber be performed. Signal spectra estimation for detection of tire pressure loss requires only an accelerometer to measure the vertical acceleration of the wheel. The presented results were obtained with measured data drawn from a test rig and a driving car. The proposed methods are suited for an on-line supervision of the car as well as for technical inspection e.g. in workshops.

In this contribution, fuzzy model-based predictive control is applied to temperature control of a cross-flow water/air heat exchanger. After a review of Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy systems and their identification from measurement data the on-line adaptation of these models is discussed. If the nonlinearity of the process is assumed to keep its structure, the linear parameters in the rule consequents can be locally updated by a recursive least-squares algorithm. Since this algorithm is computationally inexpensive it can be utilized in nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). If the process is influenced by unmeasurable or unmodeled disturbances, the fuzzy model is adapted to these quantities. It can be distinguished between disturbances and model deficiencies which require the adaptation of all linear parameters in the rule consequents and model offsets in the static mapping which can be canceled by local adaptation of one offset parameter per rule. The second case is particularly simple to implement because there is no need for persistent excitation. Moreover, this mode of operation copes with the challenges in control which are specific to the heat exchanger. The effectiveness of the adaptive nonlinear model predictive controller is proven by application to an industrial-scale pilot plant.

Intelligent automation systems integrate a great variety of methods based on models of the controlled processes, e. g. model-based control or model-based supervision and fault diagnosis. Hence, there emerges a great demand for modeling techniques suitable for the identification of nonlinear dynamic systems. Besides classical approaches, neuro/fuzzy systems appear promising due to their approximation qualities. In this contribution, it is investigated how Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy systems can be utilized for identification of a cross-flow water/air heat exchanger. On the one hand, these models provide transparency and interpretability which allows to incorporate qualitative and quantitative prior knowledge about the plant. On the other hand, Takagi-Sugeno models can also be identified from measurement data in order to compensate for incomplete system knowledge. Data gathering requires appropriate excitation of the system. It will be shown how elementary prior knowledge can be exploited for the design of identification signals. The concept of error bars is reviewed, and it is used to roughly evaluate the model quality depending on the properties of the excitation signal. For identification from training data the local linear model tree algorithm (LOLIMOT) is applied.

In this paper a new method for nonlinear system identification is proposed. It is based on local linear models constructed by a tree algorithm in combination with a subset selection technique for determination of the local linear models’ structure. The local linear model tree can be interpreted as a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, where the tree algorithm constructs the rule premises, the input membership functions and allows easy control of the model’s complexity (number of rules) while the subset selection technique determines the rule conclusions. The selection of the local linear model structure allows an automatic choice of different model orders and dead times in different operating regions. The capability of this approach to model a real world process with operating point dependent dead times and time constants is demonstrated.

High quality galvanized steel strip is a need of today's manufacturers of various products. In particular, in the top quality section steel strips for the automotive, building and consumer goods industries only those steel producers will be successful who are applying state-of-the-art process technologies. For this reason, VOEST-ALPINE Industrieanlagenbau mbH (VAI) and VOEST-ALPINE Stahl Linz developed a new galvannealing control system to optimize this metallurgical process. As the latest improvement of the galvannealing control strategy, a neural network controller has been developed by VAI in Cooperation with the Vienna University of Technology Christian Doppler laboratory for Intelligent control Methods for process Technologies. The paper describes the galvannealing process as far as it is necessary for the understanding of the controller functions, the controller structure and its essential functions. Furthermore, the neural network structure used and its integration into the controller system are explained. A discussion of simulation and practical operating results shows the improvements achieved by using a neural network controller in comparison to the conventional controller.

Predictive control algorithms are promising also in the case of nonlinear systems. Two versions of extended horizon predictive control algorithms are given here for the nonlinear simple Hammerstein model. A quadratic cost function is minimized, which considers the quadratic deviation of the reference signal and the output signal predicted in a future point and also the squares of the control increments. The system model is transformed to a predictive incremental form. Two versions of suboptimal extended horizon control algorithms are given with different assumptions for the control signal during the control horizon. Robustness properties of these algorithms are considered in case of plant-model mismatch through some simulation examples.

A third-order proportional process model with parameter uncertainty is controlled by different simple controllers. First the robustness of four different PID-control designs is investigated. Then internal model control (IMC) is designed in the time domain for the exact process model and for its approximating model with a first-order lag and a delay time. Finally, the PID-control of the nominal model is extended by an IMC-like feedback, which makes the control especially robust.

The integration of mechanical systems and microelectronics opens new possibilities for mechanical design and automatic functions. After a discussion of the mechanical and electronic design the organization of information processing in different levels is described, Within this frame ''low-degree intelligent'' mechatronic systems can be developed which comprise adaptive control, supervision with fault diagnosis, and decisions with regard to further actions. This requires the realization of knowledge-based systems with learning abilities. Some aspects of the design of information processing including modeling and estimation, control, and supervision methods are considered. Finally as example an adaptive semiactive shock absorber for vehicle suspension systems is shown.

A novel structure which models the fuzzy inference mechanism based on neural units is proposed, to combine both the adaptive feature of neural networks and the transparency of fuzzy systems. It is shown how a perceptron with a sigmoidal activity function can perform the aggregation of premise antecedents and can thus implement conjunction or disjunction operations depending on the neuron's threshold. Knowledge-base parameters such as relevance weights of antecedents and priority weights of rules are introduced and discussed. The network topology is extracted by means of a coincidence learning law, the so-called Hebbian rule, in order to limit the problem of high dimensionality known by local classifiers. Two real-world problems are reported: Monitoring of the state of a turbocharger on the basis of model-based symptoms, and the supervision of air pressure in vehicle wheels, based on physically extracted symptoms.
