We must take into account the hostile conditions when detecting such features. Many of previous papers proposed models for junction detection with hand-crafted logic, which works well under normal conditions but not under hostile conditions. This necessitates a data-driven approach for junction detection. We attempt to do so using two recently proposed deep neural networks: ResNet50 and EfficientNet-B0. Here, given a set of input images of roads with junctions or no junctions, dark channel transformation is applied to better inform the networks about the road regions prominent in the images. According to our experiments on the Oxford RobotCar Dataset, using the dark channel transformation on the ResNet50 trained from scratch can achieve a junction classification accuracy of over 94%. This numerical figure is 8% greater than when the ResNet50 pre-trained on ImageNet is directly trained on RGB Oxford dataset images. When using pre-trained weights of the deep networks, junction classification accuracy rises to 95%, and the precision increases to 99%.","PeriodicalId":125740,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2022 – 48th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115037819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper evaluates one such multi-port dc-dc converter topology known as integrated dual-dc boost converter (IDDBC), which can be used to interface two different dc sources into a common load. One of the major challenges related to IDDBC operation is the management of power flow between different ports of the topology. Current sensing and measurement are essential for realizing these control objectives. Conventional current sensors (e.g. sense resistors, Hall Sensors) are transducers that are invasive, expensive, and require associated conditioning circuits. This paper proposes a non-invasive digital current estimation technique for IDDBC topology. This approach requires terminal voltage measurements and analog comparators to estimate the inductor currents of the topology. The proposed method of current estimation has been demonstrated using a laboratory prototype of IDDBC using an FPGA-based controller.","PeriodicalId":125740,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2022 – 48th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115261139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in this study, we propose a method for estimating physical properties based on training the relationship between the two estimation models. The first is a fast sequential estimation model, and the second is a highly accurate posterior estimation model. Training the relationship between the two models makes highly accurate sequential property estimation possible.

To further improve the efficiency of such hybrid systems, better energy management strategies need to be developed. This paper proposes an adaptive power allocation method with real-time monitoring and optimization for fuel cell/supercapacitor hybrid energy storage systems used in electric vehicles. This method utilizes a low-pass filter to distribute power between fuel cells and supercapacitors. The cut-off frequency of the filter is obtained by splitting the load current spectrum according to the supercapacitor state of charge (SOC). The DC-link voltage fluctuation and the supercapacitor SOC are monitored in a real-time fashion. Consequently, a real-time optimization scheme is developed to reduce the dependence of the proposed algorithm on its initial parameters and enhance the adaptivity of the proposed algorithm. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a Simulink model is developed and two standard drive cycles (i.e., NYCC and US06) are selected. Simulation results show that the DC-link voltage fluctuation drops significantly and the supercapacitor SOC can be effectively controlled.","PeriodicalId":125740,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2022 – 48th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122307610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dynamics of nonlinear systems can be represented as linear systems by lifting them to a space of augmented states using the Koopman operator. On the other hand, the lifted linear system cannot capture the nonlinear effects of inputs, which appear in many robotic systems. Therefore, instead of a lifted linear system, we can consider representing control-affine bilinear systems. However, since the lifted bilinear systems are nonlinear, we need to solve nonlinear programming problems for trajectory optimization. This paper presents a methodology for the trajectory optimization problem of the lifted bilinear system. Using the mixed-integer convex approximation, we can solve the trajectory optimization problem of the lifted bilinear systems as a mixed-integer linear programming problem. This formulation allows us to solve LTL-based task planning problems for nonlinear systems.

The proposed PLC method does not require any additional circuit elements in the power loop for the PLC implementation. Special focus is paid to the control schemes applied to the H-bridge driving circuits to produce a low total harmonic distortion (THD) without compromising the reliability of data communication. Various parametric simulation models are designed and tested using time-division multiplexing with two variations over the assignment technique for the PLC communication task.
