This paper addresses the problem of integrating Advanced Traveller Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS). A framework that allows the integration of existing successful control implementations is reviewed. This framework is utilized to integrate the ATISIATMS control decisions of two operational schemes; ATIS stand-alone system (dynamic route guidance), and A...

A novel variable field-of-view machine vision method was developed allowing an agricultural robot to navigate between rows in cornfields. The machine vision hardware consisted of a camera with pitch and yaw motion control. Guidance lines were detected using an image-processing algorithm, employing morphological features in a far, near and lateral field of view, and the robot was guided along th...

a new approach for propulsion system layout that increases power and enhances the efficiency of submarine propulsion system is proposed.using our method,the efficiency and power of the system enhances without increasing volume and weight. this layout improves the performance compared to the usual layout, which employs double-armature motors in cruise speed where efficiency is more critical. thi...

A candidate for intelligent control for lateral guidance of a vehicle is a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The details of the most recent FLC with a rule base derived from heuristics and designer insight to the problem at hand, as well as a method for estimating a projected lateral displacement are presented along with simulation results. The structure of this FLC is suited to incorporate human k...

This paper describes a fuzzy control system for the avoidance of moving objects by a robot. The objects move with no type of restriction, varying their velocity and making turns. Due to the complex nature of this movement, it is necessary to realize temporal reasoning with the aim of estimating the trend of the moving object. A new paradigm of fuzzy temporal reasoning, which we call fuzzy tempo...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy neural network (FNN) controller is proposed for missile guidance. The objective is for one defending missile (DM) to intercept an attacking missile (AM) in air battle scenario. The adaptive FNN controller is adopted to force the DM toward the AM under the existence of disturbance, and a monitoring controller is also designed to reduce the error between FNN contr...
