A Novel Fuzzy Membership Partitioning for Improved Voting in Fault Tolerant System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel technique for improved voting by adaptively varying the membership boundaries of a fuzzy voter to achieve realistic consensus among inputs of redundant modules of a fault tolerant system. We demonstrate that suggested dynamic membership partitioning minimizes the number of occurrences of incorrect outputs of a voter as compared to the fixed membership partitioning voter implementations. Simulation results for the proposed voter for Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) fault tolerant system indicate that our algorithm shows better safety and availability performance as compared to the existing one. However, our voter design is general and thus it can be potentially useful for improving safety and availability of critical fault tolerant systems.

Abstract: A new adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant control scheme for complex non-linear systems is proposed in this paper. The approach presented here combines fuzzy T-S dynamic model with Riccati equation. In each local linear model of the fuzzy dynamic model, Riccati equation is used in the design of fault-tolerant control. These local models are linked together by fuzzy membership functions to f...
