Adaptive fuzzy throttle control for an all-terrain vehicle
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an adaptive fuzzy throttle control for an all-terrain vehicle (ATV ) powered by internal combustion engine. The design objective is to provide smooth throttle movement and zero steady state speed error, and to maintain a selected vehicle speed over varying road slopes for a 2–30 mile/h speed range. Unlike modern production vehicles which have microprocessor-based engine management systems, the ATV’s engine is mechanically controlled via a carburettor. A complete mathematical model of the engine is not available, making it very diYcult to apply conventional control techniques. Using experience and data collected from extensive experiments conducted on the ATV throttle mechanism, an adaptive fuzzy throttle control algorithm is designed. A candidate Lyapunov function is employed in the adaptive law synthesis to ensure convergence. Experimental results are presented showing the eVectiveness of the control algorithm at speeds below 2.74 mile/h (1.2 m/s).

Fuzzy throttle and brake control for platoons of smart cars
Additive fuzzy systems can control the velocity and the gap between cars in single lane platoons. The system consists of throttle and brake controllers. We first designed and tested a throttle-only fuzzy system on a validated car model and then with a real car on highway I-15 in California. We used this controller to drive the “smart” car on the highway in a two-car platoon. Then we designed a ...
متن کاملAdaptive Cruise Control of a Passenger Car Using Hybrid of Sliding Mode Control and Fuzzy Logic Control
This paper focuses on the design of adaptive cruise control (ACC) which was implemented on a passenger car based on sliding mode control (SMC) of throttle valve combining with fuzzy logic control of brake pedal. An important feature of the new adaptive cruise control system is the ability to maintain a proper inter-vehicle gap based on the speed of host vehicle and headway way. There are three ...
متن کاملFuzzy Adaptive Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Carrying Time-Varying Cargo on Predefined Path
At present, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been increased dramatically. The reasons for this development are cheapness, smallness, simplicity, and diversity of missions. The simplicity of guidance and control of multi-rotor drones is that they are equipped with an autopilot system. This system is responsible for flying control. UAVs do not have a high weight and often have three...

In this paper, the enhancement of vehicle stability and handling is investigated by control of the active geometry suspension system (AGS). This system could be changed through control of suspension mounting point’s position in the perpendicular direction to wishbone therefore the dynamic is alternative and characteristics need to change. For this purpose, suitable controller needs to change...
متن کاملACC+Stop&go maneuvers with throttle and brake fuzzy control
Research on adaptive cruise control (ACC) with Stop&Go maneuvers is presently one of the most important topics in the field of intelligent transportation systems. The main feature of such controllers is that there is adaptation to a user-preset speed and, if necessary, speed reduction to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane of the road, whatever the speed. The extreme ca...
