The kinematics between the missile and the target are established in line-of-sight (LOS) frame. To ensure the required impact angle and small miss distance, two step controllers are designed based on Lyapunov method. The first step controller guarantees the LOS angle in vertical plane to converge to the desired angle. The second step controller can stabilize the overall system while maintaining minimum LOS rate, and thus the smallest miss distance can be achieved indirectly. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency.","PeriodicalId":373152,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116103188","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}

Given the increase of the supply chain complexity and growth of intense competition, these logistics service providers (LSPs) face increasing challenges. A viable way is to cooperate. This paper aims to apply the principal-agent theory to the logistics industry by studying the horizontal cooperation between 4PL and 3PL providers through the use of incentive contracts. In contrast with traditional economic literature, compensation in this case is a combination of a fixed payment and a bonus based on the performances of the 3PL providers, in terms of service delivery rate and customer satisfaction level, which are industry specific. The problem is modeled as a risk-neutral 4PL provider hires multiple riskaverse 3PL providers to conduct different logistics tasks involved in a project. The goal of this paper is to study the design of optimal contracts that balance the incentives and risks of the 3PL providers from the perspectives of 4PL provider, so that both them can achieve maximized profits.","PeriodicalId":373152,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126560793","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 strategy is realized by defining synchronization error combining the graph theory, and it makes each vessel keep in synchronization with the other neighbors of the group. The controller is designed based on backstepping and Lyapunov direct method so as to track the vessels' desired trajectory, and the controller of each vessel is designed using the feedback from the adjacent vessels. In addition, the environment disturbances are compensated through an extended state observer of the model of the dynamic positioning vessel. The globally asymptotically stability of the error dynamics is guaranteed by theoretical analyses. Finally, the simulations results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed coordination control method.","PeriodicalId":373152,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125613055","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}

Because the traditional fouling monitoring thermodynamic approach has low credibility, ultrasonic echo method is proposed to monitor fouling.

Inverse filtering method is introduced to transform the hard-to-distinguish delay information in time-domain to frequency-domain information. Then signal processing method, using high order cumulant in combination with MUSIC spectrum estimation, is used to realize the fouling echo information extraction.
