Control design for bilateral teleoperation is still an open problem, given that it is desirable to meet a proper balance in the inherent trade-off between transparency and stability. We propose the use of switching robust control, in which smooth switching among controllers is achieved by the existence of multiple Lyapunov functions with a special structure, linked by conditions of maximum aver...

Estimating stop time is a critical task for timetable planning, especially since actual dwell time shows a significant variability that could hinder service reliability. Therefore its importance has increased as railways seek to maximize infrastructure utilization while improving the quality standards, including reliability. A significant amount of scientific work focussing on the estimation of...
