This paper presents a preliminary study on active stability control systems for motorcycles. The design of such a control system is a fully open problem, and it constitutes quite a challenging task due to the complexity of two-wheeled vehicles dynamics. To address this problem, this paper presents a thorough analysis of the input and output variables which may be considered for stability control and proposes a preliminary controller architecture. The closed-loop performance are tested on a multi-body motorcycle simulator and the results favorably witness the potential safety increase enabled by the controller.

Programming control in industrial design is by its nature expert upon an example being Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Such programmes are unsuitable for children or novices as they cannot understand how to use the programme. This research seeks to present tangible programming for a basic control system in new frameworks in engineering education for children. Such programmes could be for use in kindergartens, primary schools or general teaching where knowledge about basic control is required. Normally open-loop and closed-loop control system programming is taught at university and college level. This may be late as far as acquiring knowledge of basic control systems is concerned. Using tangible programming without a computer but instructions and interface, relay and motor could result in children in kindergartens and primary schools being able to programme open-looped control systems which mix chemicals or closed-loop control systems which control conveyor belts. However, the children would not be able to undertake programming using programmable control in a similar scenario.

The design of an active stability control system for two-wheeled vehicles is a fully open problem and it constitutes a challenging task due to the complexity of two-wheeled vehicles dynamics and the strong interaction between the vehicle and the driver. This paper describes and compares two different methods, a model-based and a data-driven approach, to tune a Multi-Input-Multi-Output controller which allows to enhance the safety while guaranteeing a good driving feeling. The two strategies are tested on a multibody motorcycle simulator on challenging maneuvers such as kick-back and strong braking while cornering at high speed.

Microcontrollers of digital electronic devices that have input and output as well as control with programs that can be written and erased in a special way, how the microcontroller actually reads and writes data. Microcontrollers are used in automatic controlled products and equipment, such as machine control systems, remote controls, office machines, household appliances, heavy equipment, and toys. Microcontroller can be a control system in fish farms in controlling water supply and controlling food. an interface with the Android application with bluetooth. The ease in controlling Android fish farms is supported, which android will be given an application placed inside the Android. In the android application interface it provides facilities to control culture.

ACS-Lite is being developed by FHWA to be a cost-effective solution for applying adaptive control system (ACS) technology to current, state-of-the-practice closed-loop traffic signal control systems. This effort is intended to make ACS technology accessible to many jurisdictions without the upgrade and maintenance costs required to implement ACS systems that provide optimized signal timings on a second-by-second basis. The ACS-Lite system includes three major algorithmic components: a time-of-day (TOD) tuner, a run-time refiner, and a transition manager. The TOD tuner maintains plan parameters (cycle, splits, and offsets) as the long-term traffic conditions change. The run-time refiner modifies the cycle, splits, and offsets of the plan that is currently running based on observation of traffic conditions that are outside the normal bounds of conditions this plan is designed to handle. The run-time refiner also determines the best time to transition from the current plan to the next plan in the schedule, or, like a traffic-responsive system, it might transition to a plan that is not scheduled next in the sequence. The transition manager selects from the transition methods built in to the local controllers to balance the time spent out of coordination with the delay and congestion that is potentially caused by getting back into step as quickly as possible. These components of the ACS-Lite algorithm architecture are described and the similarities and differences of ACS-Lite with state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice adaptive control algorithms are discussed. Closed-loop control system characteristics are summarized to give the context in which ACS-Lite is intended to operate.
