In the paper the road holding of a heavy vehicle is improved by using unilateral braking. The goal of the control design is to reduce the effect of the lateral acceleration of the vehicle, when it exceeds a predefined critical limit. The safety critical requirements motivate the application of robust control theory. The design problem is solved by a three-level cascade control with H ∞ controllers on each level. The actuator dynamics of the brake system, the wheel dynamics and the nonlinear tire adhesion characteristics are taken into consideration. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through an overtaking maneuver.

In this paper, a model predictive controller is developed for controlling the main primary circuit dynamics of pressurized water nuclear power plants during load-change transients. The hybrid model of the plant is successfully embedded into a non-hybrid discrete time LPV form. The designed controller is able to handle the hard constraints for the state and input variables while keeping the plant stable and producing satisfactory time-domain behavior.

The well-known Generalized Champagne Problem on simultaneous stabilization of linear systems is solved by using complex analysis and Blonders technique. We give a complete answer to the open problem proposed by Patel et al., which automatically includes the solution to the original Champagne Problem. Based on the recent development in automated inequality-type theorem proving, a new stabilizing controller design method is established. Our numerical examples significantly improve the relevant results in the literature.

The idea of inversion-based direct input reconstruction for robust detection and separation of multiple, possibly simultaneous faults in the presence of external, non-mutually separable disturbances for linear dynamical systems was presented in [1]. In this short paper this concept is pursued further: it is shown how in a specific filtering structure, relying on the inverse representation of the system, a Luenberger state observer can be designed providing estimation of the states of the inverse-based residual generator reverting to disturbance decoupled detection residuals with exact fault separation. This result can be considered as a corollary of the approximate disturbance attenuating solution presented in [1].

In this paper the idea of inversion-based direct input reconstruction for robust detection, separation and estimation of multiple simultaneous faults in the presence of persistent disturbances in linear dynamical systems is presented. In particular, it is shown how in a specific filtering structure a residual generator, relying on the inverse representation of the system, by means of estimation of the inverse dynamics can be designed providing robust fault decoupling. The development of the method and its applicability to earlier not solvable problems is demonstrated based on an aircraft monitoring application example.

Fault diagnosis and failure prognosis of critical dynamic systems, such as aircraft and industrial processes, rely on degradation or fatigue models and measurements typically acquired on-line in real-time. Such sensor data must be pre-processed in order to remove artifacts and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, they must be processed appropriately so that useful information in compact form can be extracted and used to detect incipient failures and predict the remaining useful life of failing components. We present a methodology to select an optimum feature vector from a list of candidate features, prioritize and rank them to meet set performance objectives. The enabling technologies include genetic programming tools, data fusion and model-based approaches for feature selection and extraction. We will suggest a multi-core processing environment for the efficient and expedient implementation of these technologies. Performance metrics are defined to assess the efficacy of the methodology. Typical examples from aircraft systems are used to demonstrate the proposed techniques.

Storage area networks (SANs) based on fibre channel have been used extensively in the last decade while iSCSI is fast becoming a serious contender due to its reduced costs and unified infrastructure. This work examines the performance of iSCSI with multiple TCP connections. Multiple TCP connections are often used to realize higher bandwidth but there may be no fairness in how bandwidth is distributed. We propose a mechanism to share congestion information across multiple flows in "Fair-TCP" for improved performance. Our results show that Fair-TCP significantly improves the performance for I/O intensive workloads.

A far-range camera calibration method for vision sensors used in automatic lane detection systems is investigated. Autonomous vehicle guidance based on stereo image acquisition requires the knowledge of the camera parameters, such as camera position, orientation, lens distortion, focal length etc. with high precision. Calibration is performed by placing markers in known positions in front of the vehicle holding the camera(s) and by detecting the location of their images in the acquired snapshots. The parameters are then estimated by minimizing the geometric error in the image. Most of the methods discovered in the literature do not consider errors in the measurement of marker locations. However, a precise marker arrangement for far-range calibration might be expensive to set up. This paper shows that imprecision in the 3D location of the markers can not be tolerated in some practical situations and in such cases, a different optimization is proposed in the calibration of the extrinsic camera parameters (camera position and orientation). A position estimation method is also shown to extract marker positions from far-range laser distance meter measurements. The estimated marker positions are corrected by considering aiming errors, as well. Parameter errors are also estimated. It will be shown that our new calibration and optimization method is expected to result a good accuracy compared to commercial methods.
