By contrast to standard models, which yield a single predicted output at each value of the model's inputs, Interval Predictors Models (IPM) yield an interval into which the unobserved output is predicted to fall. The IPMs proposed prescribe the output as an interval valued function of the model's inputs, render a formal description of both the uncertainty in the model's parameters and of the spread in the predicted output. Uncertainty is prescribed as a hyper-rectangular set in the space of model's parameters. The propagation of this set through the empirical model yields a range of outputs of minimal spread containing all (or, depending on the formulation, most) of the observations. Optimization-based strategies for calculating IPMs and eliminating the effects of outliers are proposed. Outliers are identified by evaluating the extent by which they degrade the tightness of the prediction. This evaluation can be carried out while the IPM is calculated. When the data satisfies mild stochastic assumptions, and the optimization program used for calculating the IPM is convex (or, when its solution coincides with the solution to an auxiliary convex program), the model's reliability (that is, the probability that a future observation would be within the predicted range of outputs) can be bounded rigorously by a non-asymptotic formula.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115688988","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}

FlexRay protocol has been developed by the automotive industry to provide high bandwidth and deterministic communications. It works with communication cycles which consist of a static segment and a dynamic segment during which different scheduling rules are employed. We generalize existing emulated controller designs to be applicable to NCS with FlexRay. We start from a feedback law which stabilizes the origin of the plant when there is no network. We then present a novel hybrid model of the closed-loop system when the controller is implemented over a network scheduled by FlexRay. Afterwards, we provide conditions on the network under which the stability of the NCS is ensured. In particular, we consider segments of arbitrary lengths and we provide segment-dependent maximal allowable transmission interval bounds. The analysis relies on the construction of a new hybrid Lyapunov function. We believe that this work demonstrates the flexibility of the emulation approach and that it can be used to investigate other control problems for NCS with switched protocols.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129845118","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}

On the other hand, in order to avoid high computational requirements, we show how to construct the observer gain matrix so that the stability condition, written in terms of linear matrix inequality, is satisfied.

The dynamics with respect to the force input are dependent on the distance between the camera and the target plane, which is not measurable by a simple vision system. The proposed control law guarantees convergence without estimating any parameter related to the unknown distance, which is also guaranteed to remain strictly positive.

Here, we consider the nonlinear case of piecewise smooth system identification without prior knowledge on the type of nonlinearities involved. This is tackled by simultaneously learning a collection of local models from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space via the minimization of a convex functional, for which we prove a representer theorem that provides the explicit form of the solution.

Three different kinds of power sources - fuel cell, battery and ultracapacitor - compose the power supply system of an electric vehicle. All sources are current-controlled and paralleled together with their associated DC-DC converters on a common DC-link coupled to vehicle's electrical motor and its converter. DC-link voltage must be regulated in spite of load power variations representing the driving cycle image. To this end, a MIMO LPV/H∞ provides the three current references so that each source operates in its most suitable frequency range as either high-energy-density or high-power-density source: low-frequency, the mean power is provided by the fuel cell, the ultracapacitor supplies/absorbs the instantaneous variations of power demand and the battery operates in between the two other sources. Selection of H∞ weighting functions is guided by a genetic algorithm whose optimization criterion expresses the frequency-separation requirements. The nonlinear multi-source system is simulated in MATLABP® /Simulink® using the driving cycle of IFSTTAR (Institut Français des Sciences et Technologies des Transports, de l'Aménagement et des Réseaux) as load profile, whose frequency content is richer than the one of Normalized European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Simulation results show good performance in supplying the load at constant DC-link voltage according to user-configured frequency-separation power sharing strategy.","PeriodicalId":202708,"journal":{"name":"53rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125343189","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}
