The signals of optical and acoustic sensors build the inputs of a pre-processing block, where a specific frequency - and statistical analysis is implemented. To estimate the road state a decision block based on a fuzzy expert system has been defined and tested. A further topic of this contribution is the use of a mobile friction measuring platform for investigations of the texture road impact on the grip. The friction coefficient between road and a small rubber wheel is measured at a high driving slip rate. Simultaneously the road profile is captured with a laser and roughness descriptors are computed. The regression between descriptors and grip is obtained by an artificial neural network, which can be used for prognostication after learning","PeriodicalId":187202,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126336792","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}

Similar logics such as alternating-time temporal logics look on the cooperation between agents like a sequence of actions, but CL-PC handles this cooperation problem by defining coalitions.

This paper proposes a grey prediction based fuzzy PID controller that can overcome the stated shortcoming. A non-linear liquid level system is taken as a test bed. The grey model developed is examined under several different conditions and it is shown that the proposed grey fuzzy PID controller can predict the future output value of the system.

The use of IOFB for image transmission in hazardous areas, where conventional camera cannot be employed because of their incorporated electronic, is fully justified. The high fabrication cost of coherent optical fiber bundles makes IOFB useful for large distances images capture applications. Since the bundle is spatially incoherent, the image coming out at the bundle end is a random set of illuminated points, without any spatial correlation, but once the IOFB calibrated, it can be used to transmit optical images without any electronics. To calibrate such cables, a flat LCD screen is used to emit input images. To solve a chromatic aberration problem, generated by the optical system composed by few conventional lens, diaphragms are used, which also reduce the emitted light, and so solve the saturation camera sensor problem too. It unfortunately generates a non-homogenous output picture illumination, which creates noise in the reconstructed images. In this paper we present and compare three methods to correct the cable output image illumination, once the spatial calibration is achieved, presenting some of the results obtained using this method","PeriodicalId":187202,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics","volume":"5 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129088171","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}
