Priority-based Multi-level Monitoring of Signal Integrity in a Distributed Powertrain Control System

Priority-based Multi-level Monitoring of Signal Integrity in a Distributed Powertrain Control System

With the increasing numbers and importance of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in modern automobiles, there is a need to monitor system and signal integrity to enable desired system behavior. Among the various signals in a vehicle, those associated with torque commands must be prioritized over others while preserving signal integrity as they have a large impact on meeting the powertrain performa...

Signal-Level Integrity Monitoring Metric for Robust GNSS receivers

This paper deals with the problem of detecting distortions on the received signals of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) that may degrade the measurements accuracy and compromise the overall receiver operation. Amongst others, multipath and spoofing are two of the most concerning threats for the robustness of GNSS receivers. These two phenomena have similar effects on the received signa...

A Distributed Control System Framework for Automotive Powertrain Control with OSEK Standard and CAN Network

A Methodology for Obtaining Signal Coordination within A Distributed Real- Time Network Signal Control System with Transit Priority

Real-time network signal control offer the potential to provide delay benefits over traditional fixed time and actuated control. The SPPORT (Signal Priority Procedure for Optimization in Real-Time) model is a fully distributed heuristic rule-based signal control method that explicitly considers transit priority. While a distributed architecture enables the network control problem to be decompos...

An Online Q-learning Based Multi-Agent LFC for a Multi-Area Multi-Source Power System Including Distributed Energy Resources

This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...
