A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a composition of an embedded computer, a network and a physical process. Usually, the plant, which represents the physical part, is controlled by an embedded system, which consists of computation, communication and control elements, via the global network. This contribution focuses on networked control systems (NCSs) which represents a specific class of CPS. As the problems of CPSs and NCSs are quite similar the goal is to transfer well developed techniques of NCSs to CPSs for analysis purposes. NCSs deal with the analysis of the interaction between the physical system and the cyber system. A main challenge of a control engineer is the development of stable and robust controllers for a NCS. The same goal is present in the design of CPS. To ensure this goal the analysis of such a feedback system has to be performed which is not straight forward and limited by the used modeling approach. This work compares different state-of-the-art modeling approaches for NCSs and stability analysis methods therefore.

A cyber-physical system depends on stable control and interaction between the many systems and devices connected to the network. Dynamic control middleware, which considers the characteristics of a cyber-physical system, supports the dynamic search and control of devices existing on the global network using Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6). However, systems and devices may connect to a network using a variety of heterogeneous protocols, not just IPv6. To solve the problem of heterogeneous protocols, this paper proposes a routing technique which enables network devices to communicate using different protocols. The proposed network-routing module can register devices with various protocols and improve the stability of the efficient heterogeneous network.

In order to study the whole system performance of dynamic positioning ship, a simulation platform which contains environment and ship model, as well as basic guidance, navigation and control functions is established. Besides the ordinary ship and environment modeling, a guidance method for waypoint following is designed by using path interpolation and circle of acceptance. A sensor-fusion based federated filter is proposed to deal with the problem of state estimation and wave filtering. To make the whole system becomes a closed loop feedback system, a PID method are applied to deal with the control problem. By using this simulation platform, this paper simulates and studies the basic functions of a typical dynamic positioning ship. Finally, the simulation proves the validity and excellent performance of this dynamic position ship simulation platform.

SUMMARY A novel underwater vehicle configuration with an operating principle as the Sepiida animal is presented and developed in this paper. The mathematical equations describing the movements of the vehicle are obtained using the Newton–Euler approach. An analysis of the dynamic model is done for control purposes. A prototype and its embedded system are developed for validating analytically and experimentally the proposed mathematical representation. A real-time characterization of one mass is done to relate the pitch angle with the radio of displacement of the mass. In addition, first validation of the closed-loop system is done using a linear controller.

The driver model is the decision-making and control center of intelligent vehicle. In order to improve the adaptability of intelligent vehicles under complex driving conditions, and simulate the manipulation characteristics of the skilled driver under the driver-vehicle-road closed-loop system, a kind of human-like longitudinal driver model for intelligent vehicles based on reinforcement learning is proposed. This paper builds the lateral driver model for intelligent vehicles based on optimal preview control theory. Then, the control correction link of longitudinal driver model is established to calculate the throttle opening or brake pedal travel for the desired longitudinal acceleration. Moreover, the reinforcement learning agents for longitudinal driver model is parallel trained by comprehensive evaluation index and skilled driver data. Lastly, training performance and scenarios verification between the simulation experiment and the real car test are performed to verify the effectiveness of the reinforcement learning based longitudinal driver model. The results show that the proposed human-like longitudinal driver model based on reinforcement learning can help intelligent vehicles effectively imitate the speed control behavior of the skilled driver in various path-following scenarios.

Wire of the brake pedal is not directly connected to the hydraulic environment in the braking By-wire system so the driver has no direct pedal feel. Then pedal simulator is an important part in the brake-by-wire system. A pedal force simulator was designed based on the traditional brake pedal curve of pedal force and pedal travel, AMESim and Matlab / Simulink were used as a platform to build simulation models and control algorithms. The simulation results show that the pedal stroke simulator and the control strategy meet the performance requirements of traditional braking system. It can be used in brake by wire system.

According to the shortcomings of large volume and high cost about the plate recognition system, an embedded plate recognition system is developed based on the ARM11 processor at lower costs. Taking the embedded Linux system as the software development platform, the system uses graphical user interface to operate and control the machine. Using CMOS camera system as image acquisition device, the system adopts HSV algorithm to realize the image classification on the platform of the embedded plate recognition system. The experimental results show that the embedded system runs stably, can realize the plate classification by color, and has the advantages of small size, low power consumption, convenience for using and so on. The embedded system provides a new thought for plate recognition.

This work reviews the innovative and progressive methods of determination and analysis of safety objectives using Vilnius A-SMGCS example. The aim of the analysis is to determine how failures in this system could affect flight safety in Vilnius aerodrome. Identified safety objectives will limit the frequency of occurrence of hazards enough for the associated risk to be acceptable, and will ensure that appropriate mitigation means are reflected subsequently as Safety Requirements for the system. Analysis reflects aspects of A-SMGCS Safety objectives, which should be taken into consideration. Santrauka Darbe apžvelgiami progresyvūs saugos tikslų analizės metodai pagal Vilniaus aerodromo automatizuotos antžeminio eismo stebėjimo ir kontrolės sistemos veiklos pavyzdį. Analizuojama, kaip šios sistemos sutrikimai gali paveikti skrydžių saugą Vilniaus aerodrome. Remiantis galimų pavojų skrydžių saugai analize, tyrime nustatyti saugos tikslai, pagal kuriuos vėliau bus numatomos riziką mažinančios priemonės (galimų pavojų neutralizavimui ar kylančios rizikos sumažinimui iki priimtino lygio). Straipsnyje pateikiami veiksniai, kuriuos reikėtų įvertinti nustatant aerodromo automatizuotos antžeminio eismo stebėjimo ir kontrolės sistemos saugos tikslus.
