Luchian, Alexandru Ipatiov","doi":"10.1109/ICSTCC.2018.8540751","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSTCC.2018.8540751","url":null,"abstract":"Current trends in the automotive industry are increasingly focusing on the concept of autonomous/ automated driving. At the heart of this concept is the need to provide new solutions dedicated to increase safety in operation, reduce the risk of accidents and make automotive systems more efficient. To meet these criteria, the new systems need to be as reliable as possible, provide complete full-time assistance and be also able to provide partial assistance in case of fault (1 FIT - Failure in Time). To this is added the requirement for reduced energy consumption, which implies higher efficiency of the considered systems. The paper presents a theoretical study doubled by a simulation analysis of some efficient strategies for controlling a redundant actuation system, which is viable both in normal and fault mode operation. In order to provide a high level of redundancy in both hardware and software, this concept implies the use of two independent control systems that provide command to two B6 bridge inverters and feeds the phases of a dual stator brushless direct current (BLDC) motor. The proposed system can be successfully integrated both in the electric power steering and braking systems of today's modern vehicles, as well as in autonomous driving platforms. To obtain a reliable and realistic BLDC motor model, the mathematical analysis was matched to a specific model design obtained in FEA (Finite Element Analysis). In order to validate the presented theoretical aspects, this study is followed by the implementation of the equivalent mathematical models in MATLAB / Simulink simulation environment.","PeriodicalId":308427,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122826794","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}

Moreover, there are several implementations of industrial networks built on top of CAN, (i.e. CANopen and DeviceNet) that expanded even more its area of application to almost any industrial automation field. The growing needs for data in today’s modern and safe applications led to CAN Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) in order to increase the network throughput and pushed the data field of the CAN frames beyond the 1Mbps limit of the high speed CAN chips. A low cost CAN-USB interface application for dual CAN bus network monitoring, diagnose and maintenance is proposed which can be easily ported on any member of the ARM Cortex-M microcontroller family with built-in CAN or CAN-FD communication.","PeriodicalId":308427,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121783521","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}

A comparison study in terms of transient performances, robustness characteristics and disturbance rejection capabilities has been made based on LADRC and NADRC. The robustness of both controllers is evaluated by measuring the amount of deviation in system performance due to uncertainty in system parameters, One issue with NADRC and LADRC is they include various parameters and unless they are properly tuned, will have an adverse effect on the estimation process and in turn, on the system performance. The particle swarm technique (PSO) has been selected as an optimal tuner to improve the estimation process and thereby, to enhance the system performance.","PeriodicalId":308427,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116508034","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}

A comparative study of these state-feedback CSs is also included. A parallel distributed compensation technique (PDC) is used in the TP-based design of the inner state feedback control loops which was next simplified by simple least squares identification algorithms.
