This paper presents a Multiple Target Tracking (MTT) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system which consists of three parts; a multi-model-based multi-target state estimator, a primary vehicular target determination algorithm, and a single-target adaptive cruise control algorithm. Three motion models, which are validated using simulated and experimental data, are adopted to distinguish large lateral motions from longitudinally excited motions. The improvement in the state estimation performance when using three models is verified in target tracking simulations. However, the performance and safety benefits of a multi-model-based MTT-ACC system is investigated via simulations using real driving radar sensor data. The MTT-ACC system is tested under lane changing situations to examine how much the system performance is improved when multiple models are incorporated. Simulation results show system response that is more realistic and reflective of actual human driving behavior.

In this paper, the control law for the system that has the variation of moment of inertia is designed. The proposed method is that the control input is obtained by using optimal PI control and partial adaptive control. The partial adaptive control input is adjusted by estimating the variational quantity of moment of inertia. This result gives us significant improvement of tracking ability.

The term adaptive control is often used to describe recent advances in welding process control but strictly this only applies to system which are able to cope with dynamic changes in system performance. In welding applications, the term adaptive control may not imply the conventional control theory definition but may be used in the more descriptive sense to explain the need for the process to adapt to the changing welding conditions. This paper proposed a methodology for obtaining a good bead appearance based on multi-torches welding system with the vision system in SAW. The methodologies for adaptive filling control used the welding current/voltage, arc voltage/welding current/wire feed speed combination and welding speed by using the vision sensor. It was shown that the algorithm for the welding current/voltage combination and welding speed revealed the sound weld bead appearance compared with that of the voltage/current combination.

In this paper, an adaptive control algorithm using system identification is proposed for an aircraft fault tolerant control system. A discrete state-space system is reformulated to be the ARX model which has the advantage in handing variable structure systems. Discrete model reference adaptive control is used to make the output of fault system follow the output of reference model. To validate the performance of the proposed control scheme, numerical simulations are performed for the high performance aircraft with control surface damage.

This paper presents a Modified Adaptive Complementary Sliding Mode Control (MACSMC) system for the longitudinal motion control of the Fully-Submerged Hydrofoil Craft (FSHC) in the presence of time varying disturbance and uncertain perturbations. The nonlinear disturbance observer is designed with less conservatism that only boundedness of the derivative of the disturbance is required. Then, a complementary sliding mode control system combined with adaptive law is designed to reduce the bound of stabilization error with fast convergence. In particularly, the modified complementary sliding mode surface which contains the estimation of the disturbance can reduce the switching gain and retain the normal performance of the system. Moreover, a hyperbolic tangent function contained in the control law is utilized to attenuate the chattering of the actuator. The global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is demonstrated utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory. Ultimately, the simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Studies on the optimization of machining process can be divided into two different approaches: off-line feedrate scheduling and adaptive control. Each approach possesses its respective strong and weak points compared to each other. That is, each system can be complementary to the other. In this regard, a combined system, which is a feedrate control system fur cutting force optimization, was proposed in this paper to make the best of each approach. Experimental results show that the proposed system could overcome the weak points of the off-line feedrate scheduling system and the adaptive control system. In addition, from the figure, it can be confirmed that the off-line feedrate scheduling technique can improve the machining quality and can fulfill its function in the machine tool which has a adaptive controller.

This paper proposes an online adaptive neuro-controller for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) that is a highly nonlinear system intrinsically. In real application, to obtain exact system parameters such as power coefficient, many measuring instruments and implementations are required, which is very difficult to perform. This shortcoming can be avoided by introducing neural network in the controller design in this paper. The proposed adaptive neural control scheme using radial-basis function network (RBFN) needs no system parameters to meet control objectives. Combining derivative estimator for wind velocity, the whole closed-loop system is shown to be stable in the sense of Lyapunov.

A connected control method for the adjacent buildings has been studied to reduce dynamic responses. In these studies, seismic loads were generally used as an excitation. Recently, multi-hazards loads including earthquake and strong wind loads are employed to investigate control performance of various control systems. Accordingly, strong wind load as well as earthquake load was adopted to evaluate control performance of adaptive smart coupling control system against multi-hazard. To this end, an artificial seismic load in the region of strong seismicity and an artificial wind load in the region of strong winds were generated for control performance evaluation of the coupling control system. Artificial seismic and wind excitations were made by SIMQKE and Kaimal spectrum based on ASCE 7-10. As example buildings, two 20-story and 12-story adjacent buildings were used. An MR (magnetorheological) damper was used as an adaptive smart control device to connect adjacent two buildings. In oder to present nonlinear dynamic behavior of MR damper, Bouc-Wen model was employed in this study. After parametric studies on MR damper capacity, optimal command voltages for MR damper on each seismic and wind loads were investigated. Based on numerical analyses, it was shown that the adaptive smart coupling control system proposed in this study can provide very good control performance for Multi-hazards.

Periodic disturbance is practically occurred in several engineering applications, especially in data storage systems. However, recently addressed controls for such problem were mostly dealt with its deterministic nature, which is rarely practical in real-time implementation. We present an adaptive control approach for DC motor systems with periodic stochastic disturbance whose frequency and magnitude are both random variables. We establish adaptive state feedback control which is linearly composed of nominal and corrective control parameter matrices. The former is derived from a nominal system model voiding disturbance and the latter is constructed from a disturbed system model by using Lyapunov stability theory. We carry out computer simulation to evaluate the proposed control methodology and compare to the recently addressed control method to demonstrate its superiority.

The synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) servo-drive system has highly nonlinear uncertainties owing to a convex construction effect. It is difficult for the linear control method to achieve good performance for the SynRM drive system. The nonlinear backstepping control system using upper bound with switching function is proposed to inhibit uncertainty action for controlling the SynRM drive system. However, this method uses a large upper bound with a switching function, which results in a large chattering. In order to reduce this chattering, a nonlinear backstepping control system using an adaptive law is proposed to estimate the lumped uncertainty. Since this method uses an adaptive law, it cannot achiever satisfactory performance. Therefore, a nonlinear backstepping control system using a reformed recurrent Hermite polynomial neural network with an adaptive law and an error estimated law is proposed to estimate the lumped uncertainty and to compensate the estimated error in order to enhance the robustness of the SynRM drive system. Further, the reformed recurrent Hermite polynomial neural network with two learning rates is derived according to an increment type Lyapunov function to speed-up the parameter convergence. Finally, some experimental results and a comparative analysis are presented to verify that the proposed control system has better control performance for controlling SynRM drive systems.
