The longitudinal speed control is carried out by the expert PID control method based on mode switching, the lateral path tracking control is carried out by the sliding mode control method with exponential convergence law, and the active collision avoidance controller is designed in combination with the multi-point preview module that is adaptive to the preview distance. The active collision avoidance controller was jointly simulated using Carsim, Prescan, and Simulink software for emergency lane change scenarios and slow vehicle driving in front. In the emergency lane change scenario, the minimum distance between the two vehicles is 1.9 m, and the path tracking deviation is 0.17 m. In the front vehicle slow driving scenario, the minimum distance between the two vehicles is 2.2 m, and the path tracking deviation is 0.13 m. The controller can realize collision avoidance in two scenarios of 80 and 108 km/h respectively, which shows that the controller is robust and considers the tracking accuracy and steering stability at the same time, which is of reference significance for improving the safety of intelligent vehicles driving in the same direction.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100030,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Control for Applications","volume":"7 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adc2.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The operational parameters of industrial boilers are frequently highly uncertain, which can have an impact on their performance and stability. PID controllers and other conventional control techniques have not been able to effectively manage these uncertainties. The proposed methodology involves identifying and modeling the dynamics of the industrial boiler system, accounting for parametric uncertainties like fuel flow, air flow, and pressure changes. A QFT controller is designed using frequency-domain techniques, incorporating phase and magnitude information to ensure robust stability and performance under uncertain conditions. The designed controller is validated through simulations and real-time testing to demonstrate its effectiveness in improving boiler efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. According to the simulation results, the QFT-based controller outperform conventional controllers in terms of disturbance rejection, settling times, and smoother responses. The controller is then synthesized to satisfy these bounds, ensuring that the system remains stable and performs satisfactorily under all specified uncertainties. The system increases overall system stability, decreases fuel consumption, and improves fuel efficiency by the use of QFT. The controller successfully mitigates the impact of uncertainties, ensuring that key performance indicators such as response time, overshoot, and disturbance rejection, remain within acceptable limits. The results shows that implementing QFT-based controllers significantly improves industrial boiler efficiency. By addressing the challenges of high parametric uncertainty, the QFT controller achieves robust stability, enhanced performance, and better handling of dynamic variables such as fuel flow and boiler pressure. This leads to smoother system responses, reduced overshoot, faster settling time, and ultimately contributes to reduced fuel consumption and increased overall operational efficiency.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":100030,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Control for Applications","volume":"7 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adc2.70010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143857113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These strategies have evolved from simple approaches to sophisticated techniques that integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning, significantly improving the robustness, performance, and adaptability of control systems across various industries. This paper describes a novel supervisory control approach for a nonlinear cement ball mill grinding system. The proposed approach combines two controllers under the guidance of a fuzzy supervisor: A Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, fine-tuned through the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm to achieve a rapid and precise dynamic response, and a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), which delivers robust performance during steady-state operation while dealing with the uncertainties associated with the process. The supervisory system employs advanced fuzzy aggregation operators, specifically the 2-additive fuzzy Choquet integral, and the fuzzy arithmetic mean, to evaluate tracking error and its variation. These evaluations dynamically determine the contributions of the PID and FLC controllers, ensuring smooth transitions while augmenting the benefits of each controller. Comparative analyzes with recent control methods highlight the superiority of the proposed approach in achieving a more stable and efficient cement grinding process.

This paper proposes a position feedback control technique based on extended state observers to compensate for the higher-order dynamics, and address uncertainties in the driven unit through disturbance rejection. A command smoother is analyzed to provide an equation used for path deviation prediction. The trapezoidal trajectory, expressed as a function of sine and cosine, is analyzed to use in this circular path study.

The extended state observers parametrically compensate for the high-order dynamics of the trolley, resulting in better path deviation.
