This paper investigates the bumpless transfer problem of switched linear systems with sensor faults. The framework of the switched control systems includes two kinds of controllers, one is for normal use and the other is for fault-tolerant control when sensor faults have occurred. Considering that the information of the sensor faults is unknown to the controller, an observer is designed for the fault-tolerant controller. Moreover, in view of the issue that the output difference between the online and offline controllers may induce undesired oscillations in control input at the switching instant, a bumpless transfer compensator is presented based on sliding mode control. Due to the reasonably designed compensator, the difference can be minimized to a small value to guarantee smooth transitions of the control input when sensor faults have occurred. Finally, numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
