With the sustained increase in air transportation, resulting in increased operational costs, potential danger with conflictive traffic conditions and delays for passengers and airlines, ground traffic has become a critical issue for many airports. In this communication the ground traffic at an airport is considered to be composed of three dependent flows: aircraft, passenger vehicles and servicing vehicles. It is assumed in this study that each type of vehicles belongs to a common pool which attends every arriving or departing aircraft. The objective here is to propose a global control structure based on cooperation between the different agents responsible for the management of each fleet to reduce overall aircraft traffic delays at airside.

AbstractConsidering the influence of the dynamic characteristic of automatic guided vehicle (AGV) on trajectory tracking controlling, double closed loop control structure is proposed to realize the position/force cooperative control. The outer loop controlling uses backstepping to design corresponding position controller for kinematics model of AGV, while the inner control uses the integral sliding mode controlling. Self-adaptive controlling law is used to estimate the uncertain external interference in the driving force controller and stability of AGV trajectories tracking proof is proposed. In order to make the system achieve better control performance and prevent the occurrence of severe wobble, the hyperbolic tangent function in the control law of sliding mode control replaces the sign function to ensure a continuously smooth control input and states of the system. In the Matlab/simulink environment, tracking a given splayed trajectory generated by the S function to verify the double closed loop control structure and the effectiveness of the control algorithm proposed in this paper.

This proposal reports the findings of one of a series of eight experiments concerned with improving the soldier's ability to engage moving personnel targets. This overall research effort examined the effect of different modes of fire, additional ammunition, methods of target engagement, the use of an intermediate live-fire exercise, and the use of device-based training on moving target engagement. Current U.S. Army training for Infantrymen includes one day of instruction in moving target engagement. This experiment describes a modified training program with special training devices conducted over a two-day period.
