This paper discusses a methodology of analyzing the flight dynamic stability of a flapping wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) in hover. The flexible flapping wings are modeled by a strain-based geometrically nonlinear beam formulation, coupled with an empirical aerodynamic formulation for load calculation on the wings surfaces. Wing flapping kinematics is described using a set of Euler angles. Nonlin...

in this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (dde) is presented. the main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. the driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. to induce a risk...

ESP is an active safety system for road vehicles to control the dynamic vehicle motion in emergency, the composition and working principle of ESP were introduced in the paper, and the control technology of ESP was studied too. A virtual prototype model of a vehicle model was built in ADAMS/Car, and the yaw fuzzy control co-simulation model of vehicle was established in Matlab/Simulink, to study...

A method is presented to learn neural network (NN) controllers with stability and safety guarantees through imitation learning (IL). Convex conditions are derived for linear time-invariant systems NN by merging Lyapunov theory local quadratic constraints bound the activation functions in NN. These incorporated IL process, which minimizes loss, maximizes volume of region attraction associated co...

A bstmct— This paper proposes a new Hm yawmoment control scheme using brake torque for improving vehicle performance and stability especially in high speed driving. Its characteristics is that only one brake is used for control depending on the vehicle state. Steering angles are modeled as a disturbance input to the system and the controller minimizes the difference between the performance of t...

In this paper, analysis for reducing lateral forces is implemented by using a railway vehicle model on a sharp curved track. Also, in order to minimize some problems when a railway vehicle runs on a sharp curved track, an active-steering bogie system is investigated. An active steering bogie system of a railway vehicle is designed to alleviate contact forces and to decrease wear of wheel/rail i...

This paper presents the path tracking and following for the Autonomous LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) articulated vehicle. A fuzzy logic control system for the articulated vehicle was developed to control longitudinal and lateral motion. The lateral control keeps the vehicle along the planned path and the longitudinal control makes the vehicle running at the required speed. Fuzzy logic control method is ...
