Abstract The driver-automation shared driving is a transition to fully-autonomous driving, in which human driver and vehicular controller cooperatively share the control authority. This paper investigates the shared steering control of semiautonomous vehicles with uncertainty from imprecise parameter. By considering driver’s lane-keeping behaviour on the vehicle system, a driver-automation shared driving model is introduced for control purpose. Based on the interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy theory, moreover, the driver-automation shared driving model with uncertainty from imprecise parameter is described using an IT2 fuzzy model. After that, the corresponding IT2 fuzzy controller is designed and a direct Lyapunov method is applied to analyze the system stability. In this work, sufficient design conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities are derived, to guarantee the closed-loop stability of the driver-automation shared control system. Meanwhile, an H ∞ performance is studied to ensure the robustness of the control system. Finally, simulationbased results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed control method. Furthermore, an existing type-1 fuzzy controller is introduced as comparison, to verify the superiority of the proposed IT2 fuzzy controller.

For L4 and above autonomous driving levels, the automatic control system has been redundantly designed, and a new steering control method based on brake has been proposed; a new dual-track model has been established through multiple driving tests. The axle part of the model was improved, the accuracy of the transfer function of the model was verified again through acceleration-slide tests; a controller based on interference measurement was designed on the basis of the model, and the relationships between the controller parameters was discussed. Through the linearization of the controller, the robustness of uncertain automobile parameters is discussed; the control scheme is tested and verified through group driving test, and the results prove that the accuracy and precision of the controller meet the requirements, the robustness stability is good.

In this paper, a navigation method is proposed for cooperative load-carrying mobile robots. The behavior mode manager is used efficaciously in the navigation control method to switch between two behavior modes, wall-following mode (WFM) and goal-oriented mode (GOM), according to various environmental conditions. Additionally, an interval type-2 neural fuzzy controller based on dynamic group artificial bee colony (DGABC) is proposed in this paper. Reinforcement learning was used to develop the WFM adaptively. First, a single robot is trained to learn the WFM. Then, this control method is implemented for cooperative load-carrying mobile robots. In WFM learning, the proposed DGABC performs better than the original artificial bee colony algorithm and other improved algorithms. Furthermore, the results of cooperative load-carrying navigation control tests demonstrate that the proposed cooperative load-carrying method and the navigation method can enable the robots to carry the task item to the goal and complete the navigation mission efficiently.

In this article, a new automated steering control method is presented for vehicle lane keeping. This method is a combination between the linear active disturbance rejection control and the quantitative feedback theory. The structure of the steering controller is first determined based on the linear active disturbance rejection control, then the controller is tuned in the framework of the quantitative feedback theory to meet the prescribed design specifications on sensitivity and closed-loop stability. The parameter uncertainties of the vehicle system are considered at the tuning stage. The proposed steering controller is simulated and tested on a scale vehicle. Both the simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the scale vehicle controlled by the proposed controller is able to perform the lane keeping. In the experiments, the lateral offset between the scale vehicle and the road centerline is regulated within the acceptable ranges of ±0.03 m during straight lane keeping and ±0.15 m during curved lane keeping. The proposed controller is easy to be implemented and is simple without requiring complex calculations and measurements of vehicle states. Simulations also show that the control method can be implemented on a full-scale vehicle.

In the research process of automotive active steering control, due to the model uncertainty, road surface interference, sensor noise, and other influences, the control accuracy of the active steering system will be reduced, and the driver’s road sense will become worse. The traditional robust controller can solve the model uncertainty, pavement disturbance and sensor noise in the design process, but cannot consider the performance enough. Therefore, this article proposes an active steering control method based on linear matrix inequality. In this method, the model uncertainty, road interference, sensor noise, yaw velocity, and slip side angle tracking errors are all considered as constraint targets, respectively, so that the performance and robust stability of the active front steering system can be guaranteed. Finally, simulation and hardware in the loop experiment are implemented to verify the effect of active front steering system under the linear matrix inequality controller. The results show that the proposed control method can achieve better robust performance and robust stability.

In the nonlinear networked control system (NCS), the conventional control method is difficult to achieve good control performance, due to the nonlinear problem associated with the disturbance factors, such as network induced time delay and data packet dropout. Considering this situation, this paper is aimed to propose a nonlinear networked control system based on T-S fuzzy model, which does not rely on specific network parameters or mathematical model. The nonlinear problem and the uncertainties of network can be both processed by the designed fuzzy controller. Then this approach is applied to nonlinear motor servo system, simulation of the example model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink associated with True Time toolbox. The results show that the proposed method not only is convenient for modeling, but also upgrade the performance of control system.

This paper focuses on the problem of disturbance rejection for a class of interval type-2 (IT-2) fuzzy systems via equivalence-input-disturbance (EID)-based approach. The main objective of this work is to design a fuzzy state-feedback controller combined with a disturbance estimator such that the output of the fuzzy system perfectly tracks the given reference signal without steady-state error and produces an EID to eliminate the influence of the actual disturbances. By constructing a suitable Lyapunov function and using linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, a new set of sufficient conditions is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities for the existence of fuzzy controller. Finally, a simple pendulum model is considered to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed EID-based control design.

Based on the analysis of performance of vehicle and its suspension, half vehicle model of five DOF and road model were built and the dynamic equations of half vehicle were derived according to the parameters of a commercial vehicle. In addition, a novel fuzzy logic control system based on semi-active suspension was introduced to achieve the optimal vibration characteristic, with changing the adjustable dampers according to dynamic vertical body acceleration signal. The fuzzy control was designed based on non-reference model method that acceleration value was sent to the fuzzy controller directly. And then, simulation analysis of semi-active suspension with fuzzy control method were implemented on the B-class road surface. The results showed that the semi-active suspension control system introduced in this paper has better performance on vieicle vibration characteristic, compared to passive suspension.

A state differential feedback control system based Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is designed for load-following operation of nonlinear nuclear reactor whose operating points vary within a wide range. Linear models are first derived from the original nonlinear model on several operating points. Next the fuzzy controller is designed via using the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme with the relative neutron density at the equilibrium point as the premise variable. Last the stability analysis is given by means of linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, thus the control system is guaranteed to be stable within a large range. The simulation results demonstrate that the control system works well over a wide region of operation.
