This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...

Various methods are presented to control the attitude of satellite due to lack of information of yaw axis attitude so far.&#10In this paper, a new method is used which is more general and is applicable to all types of satellites, with at least one controller. &#10This method is not limited to YAW axis and can control the two other axes as well. One feature of this approach is the ability to be ...

This paper proposes an estimation method for ships on collision courses taking crash astern maneuvers based on a new potential area of water (PAW) for maneuvering. A crash astern maneuver is an emergency option a ship can take when exposed to the risk of a collision with other ships that have lost control. However, lateral forces and yaw moments exerted by the reversing propelle...

in front wheels driven vehicles, fuel economy can be obtained by summing torques applied to rear wheels. on the other hand, unequal torques applied to rear wheels provides enhanced safety. in this paper, a model with seven degrees of freedom is considered for the vehicle body. thereafter, power-train subsystems are modeled. considering an electrical machine on each rear wheel, a fuzzy controlle...

In this paper a steering controller is derived using robust unilateral decoupling control. By this method automatic car steering can be split into two subtasks: a) good lane tracking of a point mass for stepwise change of the curvature of the lane reference and for lateral force disturbances and b) good yaw stabilization in the presence of yaw torque disturbances. In the design process the trac...

This paper proposes the development of an advanced fuzzy logic controller which aims to perform intelligent automatic control of the yaw movement of wind turbines. The specific fuzzy controller takes into account both the wind velocity and the acceptable yaw error correlation in order to achieve maximum performance efficacy. In this way, the proposed yaw control system is remarkably adaptive to...

 The un-augmented open loop 6-DOF Aerosonde exhibits poor stability and control characteristics in compliance with MIL-F8785C flying quality standards.  As in most classical fixed wing aircrafts, the control inputs to Aerosonde result in pitch, roll and yaw rate responses (rate command characteristics). This has made manual trimming of the UAV, at a given flight condition, with a human pilot-...

Many real-world engineering design problems involve the satisfaction of multiple conflicting objectives. In this case it is unlikely that a single ideal solution will exist. Instead, the solution of an Multi-Objective Optimisation problem will lead to a family of Pareto optimal points, where any improvement in one objective will result in the degradation of one or more of the other objectives. ...
