Adaptive driving beam (ADB) is an advanced vehicle forward-lighting system that automatically adapts its beam patterns to create a non-glare zone around vehicles, providing good long-range visibility for the driver without causing an uncomfortable glare for other road users. The performance of the ADB system is affected by the non-glare zone width. A narrow non-glare zone could create indirect glare in the side rearview mirrors of preceding vehicles during sharp turns while widening it results in poor road illumination. This research studies the trade-off relationship between glare and road illumination when altering the width of the non-glare zone in different driving scenarios. The study is conducted by using virtual driving simulation tools to simulate an ADB vehicle on four S-curve roads with minimum curvatures varying from 25 m to 100 m. Lux data are collected and processed using a fuzzy logic controller to mimic a human test driver to find the best non-glare zone width for balancing the trade-off. The research developed a design methodology allowing for a better understanding of the effect adjusting the width of the ADB non-glare zone has on ADB performance and improved ADB non-glare zone width optimum control system design.

A linguistic identification of a system controlled by a fuzzy-logic controller is presented. The information about the behaviour of the system, concentrated in time-series, is analyzed from the point of its description by linguistic variable and fuzzy subset as its quantifier. The partial input/output relation and its strength is expressed by a sort of correlation tables and coefficients. The principles of automatic generation of model statements are presented as well.

A study is described that compares the performance of a self-organizing fuzzy logic control law (SOC) with that of the more traditional P + D algorithm. The multivariate problem used for the investigation is the attitude control of a flexible satellite that has significant dynamic coupling of the axes. It is demonstrated that the SOC can provide good control, requires limited process knowledge and compares favorably with the P + D algorithm.

DC motors are included in the category of motor types that are most widely used both in industrial environments, household appliances to children's toys. The development of control technology has also made many advances from conventional control to automatic control to intelligent control. Fuzzy logic is used as a control system, because this control process is relatively easy and flexible to design without involving complex mathematical models of the system to be controlled. The purpose of this research is to study and apply the fuzzy mamdani logic method to the Arduino uno microcontroller, to control the speed of a DC motor and to control the speed of the fan. The research method used is an experimental method. Global testing is divided into three, namely sensor testing, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) testing and Mamdani fuzzy logic control testing. The fuzzy controller output is a control command given to the DC motor. In this DC motor control system using the Mamdani method and the control system is designed using two inputs in the form of Error and Delta Error. The two inputs will be processed by the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to get the output value in the form of a PWM signal to control the DC motor. The results of this study indicate that the fuzzy logic control system with the Arduino uno microcontroller can control the rotational speed of the DC motor as desired.

A 9-level inverter with a boost converter has been controlled with a fuzzy logic controller and a PID controller for regulating output voltage applications on resistive (R) and inductive (L), capacitance (C). The mathematical model of this system is created according to the fuzzy logic controlling new high multilevel inverter with a boost converter. The DC-DC boost converter and the multi-level inverter are designed and explained, when creating a mathematical model after a linear pulse width modulation (LPWM), it is preferred to operate the boost multi-level inverter. The fuzzy logic control and the PID control are used to manage the LPWM that allows the switches to operate. The fuzzy logic algorithm is presented by giving necessary mathematical equations that have second-degree differential equations for the fuzzy logic controller. After that, the fuzzy logic controller is set up in the 9-level inverter. The proposed model runs on different membership positions of the triangles at the fuzzy logic controller after testing the PID controller. After the output voltage of the converter, the output voltage of the inverter and the output current of the inverter are observed at the MATLAB SIMULINK, the obtained results are analysed and compared. The results show the demanded performance of the inverter and approve the contribution of the fuzzy logic control on multi-level inverter circuits.

In this paper, the muscle relaxant agent (i.e., cisatracurium) and three clinical control methods (i.e., 13 patients undergoing intermitted bolus control, 15 patients undergoing intensive manual control and 15 patients) undergoing automatic fuzzy logic control (FLC), were used for maintaining depth of muscle relaxation (DOM) during surgery. Cisatracurium, a muscle relaxation drug with long-term effect, low metabolic loading, but long delay time, is widely used in operating rooms and ICUs. Meanwhile, the rules for the FLC were developed from the experimental experience of intensive manual control after learning from 15 patient trials. According to experts' experimental experience, our FLC inputs were chosen from T1% error and trend of T1% which differ from other previous studies on eliminating the effect of time delay from cisatracurium. In individual clinical experimental results, the mean(SD) of the mean T1% error in 13 patients for intermitted bolus control, in 15 patients for intensive manual control, and in 15 patients for automatic control was 8.76(1.46), 1.65(1.67), and 0.48(1.43), respectively. The t test results show that automatic control is not significantly different from intensive manual control. The results show that a simple fuzzy logic controller derived from anesthetists ' clinical trials can provide good accuracy without being affected by the pharmacological time delay problem.

This paper deals with the Fuzzy Logic control of a Magnetic Levitation system [1] available in the Robotics and Control Laboratory at Duke University. The laboratory Magnetic Levitation system primarily consists of a metallic ball, an electromagnet and an infrared optical sensor. The objective of the control experiment is to balance the metallic ball in a magnetic field at a desired position against gravity. The dynamics and control complexity of the system makes it an ideal control laboratory experiment. The student can design their own control schemes and/or change the parameters on the existing control modes supplied with the Magnetic Levitation system, and evaluate and compare their performances. In the process, they overcome challenges such as designing various control techniques, choose which specific control strategy to use, and learn how to optimize it. A Fuzzy Logic control scheme was designed and implemented to control the Magnetic Levitation system. Position and rate of change of position were the inputs to Fuzzy Logic Controller. Experiments were performed on the existing Magnetic Levitation system. Results from these experiments and digital simulation are presented in the paper.

SUMMARYIn this paper a control law, which consists of a fuzzy logic controller plus a nonlinear effects negotiator for a flexible robot manipulator, is presented. The nonlinear effects negotiator is used to enhence the control system's ability in dealing with the uncertainty of the mathematical model. The control algorithm is simple and easy to tune as opposed to conventional control law which requires time consuming gains selections. To obtain fuzzy control rules, an error response plane method is proposed.

The study deals with the light passenger vehicle suspension system design to improve the ride quality. The fuzzy logic control approach is applied to the half car suspension system model by adjusting the control parameters and properties using online adaptation with a minimized cost function and reduced hardware complexity. The performance of resulting model is tested under the influence of trapezoidal and triangular membership functions using the 9, 25 and 49 rules-set. The controller robustness is observed at different performance indices. Road excitations in the form of disturbance input are modelled as the sinusoidal function of a speed bump to reveal the transient response of the automotive body. Ultimately, the performance of active suspension system has been improved in terms of displacement and acceleration of seat, heave, pitch, and roll by the application of proposed fuzzy logic controller. Results reported that the trapezoidal shape 25 rules set membership function based fuzzy logic controller gives the best performance between the investigated systems.

The main aim of this article is to present the usage of type-2 fuzzy logic controller to control a shape memory actuator. To enhance real-time performance simplified interval fuzzy sets were used. The algorithm was implemented in the ATmega32 microcontroller. The dedicated PC application was also built. The fuzzy logic controller type-2 was tested experimentally by controlling position of the shape memory alloy actuator NM70 which despite its small size distinguishes itself by its strength. The obtained results confirmed that type-2 fuzzy controller performed efficiently with a difficult to control nonlinear plant. The research also proved that interval type-2 controllers, which are a simplified version of the general type-2 controllers, are very efficient. They can handle uncertainties without increasing drastically the computational complexity. Experimental data comparison of the fuzzy logic controller type-2 with type-1 clearly indicates the superiority of the former, especially in reducing overshooting.
