The objective of this research is to implement the ARMAX model structure and to design the typical controller using FLC to control the steam temperature as a controlled parameter. Temperature regulation is an importance factor to avoid the degradation of the quality oil produced. PRBS input is triggered to the system and output of steam temperature is modeled using ARMAX model structure. FLC is designed with two inputs and one output which are error, difference error and voltage respectively. There are 49 fuzzy rules that involved in performing the FLC. The experimental result demonstrates that the proposed of FLC achieves the better result in controlling the temperature as compared to the PID controller considering the test on the set point tracking.","PeriodicalId":188910,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122093753","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}

GPS buoy always have an advantages over traditional techniques in measuring water level, which is their ability to determine heights relative to an absolute reference frame. There are scenarios where it is not practical or difficult to install a conventional tide gauge especially in inaccessible area like mangrove forest. Since traditional method being used to measure the sea level, large number of tide gauge required to be maintained and observed at the same time. This required manual observation and a number of labours which has lead to the lack of efficiency in data management, processing and economic. This paper would review on the development of GPS buoy design with possible application of it, as well as the results achieved by previous studies. Proposed method of efficient water level monitoring system with technical aspect that should be taken into account would be discussed.

The system transfer function is obtained via system identification technique using Matlab Toolbox. Feedforward Zero Phase Error Tracking Control (ZPETC) is designed and used in this system. The performance of the controller is analyzed through simulation and real-time experiment by multiple frequency sine wave input. The system is further improved by introducing an error filter to the feedforward controller to increase frequency spectrum. Both controller performances are compared and the result shows significant improvement.","PeriodicalId":188910,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116972894","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}

Feed-forward controller designed of this model using the inverse transfer function of the closed-loop system would have internal stability that usually not guaranteed. To overcome this stability problem, ZPETC that capable of cancelling all poles, cancellable-zeros, and phase error was proposed by Tomizuka. This paper presents model identification and controller design for non-minimum phase system using the zero phase error tracking control (ZPETC) method. The non-minimum phase system model was approximated using Matlab System Identification Toolbox from open-loop input-output experimental data using 80ms sampling time. This approximated model was used in simulation and real-time studies. The effectiveness of ZPETC to overcome the non-minimum phase problem on XY-table shows that the proposed method gave acceptable performances.","PeriodicalId":188910,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133984387","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}

Several researchers have reported on driver drowsiness detection and only very few works have been reported on detecting the driver hypovigilance. The physiological signals and vision based approaches are mostly used for estimating the driver's hypovigilance. When the physical state of the driver is drowsy or inattentive, it is important to alert the driver through alerting methods to avoid the accidents. In this paper, we have reviewed various methods used to alert drivers and the issues involved in detecting the hypovigilance. There are many methods adopted for alerting the driver during hypovigilance such as alarms, visual effects, vibrations, etc. This present work discusses in detail about the different methods used for driver alertness system. The level of alertness is based on the hypovigilance level of the driver. The hypovigilance detection system should be designed in such a way to efficiently trigger the alert system only when the driver is in hypovigilance state.","PeriodicalId":188910,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132492792","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 function of the GPS is to locate the position of user. The effects of line of sights in relation to different experimented locations are also studied. In this project, the hardware used is PIC18F4520 integrated with GPS receiver typed FV-M8. The GPS modules will generate the coordinates of latitude and longitude as well as the bearing angles between two positions. The algorithm to calculate the distance between two positions was developed by using PIC C Compiler. The written algorithm extracted the data from the GPS receiver via the RS232 communication. Microcontroller is used to parse the NMEA data sentences and execute the algorithm. Finally, the output is displayed to a LCD display unit. System testing conducted showed that for a few chosen different locations, geographical view and weather conditions, overall results give an average of 10 % different compared with ideal theoretical calculated results.","PeriodicalId":188910,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134462771","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}
