We propose a new technique for the cruise control system design of a mobile robot with three drive wheel. The proposed control scheme uses a Gaussian function as a unit function in the fuzzy neural network and back propagation algorithm to train the fuzzy neural network controller in the framework of the specialized teaming architecture. It is proposed a learning controller consisting of too neural network-fuzzy based on independent reasoning and a connection net with fixed weights to simply the neural networks-fuzzy. The performance of the proposed controller is shown by performing the computer simulation for trajectory tracking of the speed and azimuth of a mobile robot driven by three independent wheels.

In this paper, we analyze the characteristic test results of an MR damper for a cruise bus, and we model the nonlinear hysteretic characteristics of the damper using arctangent and polynomial functions. We establish an experimental model of the MR damper according to the input current, and we set the model parameters using the MATLAB Optimization Toolbox. The model is verified via a computer simulation of a full-car model.

In this study, a test bed for vehicle longitudinal control is developed using a chassis dynamometer and real time 3-D graphics. The proposed test bed system consists of a chassis dynamometer on which test vehicle can run longitudinally, a video system that shows virtual driver view, and computers that control the test vehicle and realize the real time 3-D graphics. The purpose of the proposed system is to test vehicle longitudinal control and warning algorithms such as Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC), stop and go systems, and collision warning systems. For acceleration and deceleration situations which only need throttle movements, a vehicle longitudinal spacing control algorithm has been tested on the test bed. The spacing control algorithm has been designed based on sliding mode control and road grade estimation scheme which utilizes the vehicle engine torque map and gear shift information.

A throttle/brake control law for the intelligent cruise control(ICC) systems has been proposed in this paper. The ICC system consists of a vehicle detection sensor, the control algorithm and a throttle/brake actuators. For the control of a throttle/brake system, we introduced a solenoid-valve-controlled electronic vacuum booster and a step-motor controlled throttle actuator. Nonlinear computer model for the electronic vacuum booster has been developed and the simulations were per formed using a complete nonlinear vehicle model. The results indicate the proposed throttle/brake control law can provide the ICC system with an optimized performance.

In cruise ships, it is inevitable to arrange the cabins near by the noisy areas, such as ventilation fan, HVAC machinery and funnel casing etc. The noise is propagated to the cabins by way of mount, foundation and deck. The transmitted noise to cabin is affected by mount and foundation structure. It is well-known that most of the structure-borne noise can be reduced by the flexible mount. However, when the foundation of machinery is designed inappropriately, it can make noise problems in cabins. In this paper, the effect of foundation on noise reduction is studied through the numerical analysis and mock up test. The dynamic performance of foundation is investigated from the viewpoint of the impedance and noise reduction in cabin.

The problem of designing intelligent cruise control system for a longitudinal motion of an automobile, which is powered by internal combustion engines coupled to an automatic multispeed transmission, is considered. The basic concept is a vehicle-following system which maintains desired spacing between vehicles. This system actuates throttle with the information of the spacing error so as to maintain proper spacing and improve passenger ride comfort. In designing the controller, a modified controller, i.e, PID gain scheduling and fuzzy controller with fuzzy compensator was developed in order to overcome the nonlinearities of the automobile and obtain better performance. The computer simulation results illustrate that the better vehicle responses were obtained with the modified fuzzy controller and, under this controller, the vehicle responses were found to be relatively insensitive to parameter variations.

The present work focuses on the evaluation of thermal comfort in passenger cabin of a cruise ship. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD(Airpak)) is used to calculate air velocity and temperature distribution in the passenger cabin as well as PMV and PPD. The CFD is used to simulate two different cases, room unit system and wardrobe duct system. Both of cases are simulated in summer environment condition. The room unit system and wardrobe duct system are compared and evaluated by ISO 7730 thermal comfort categories. The performance of room unit system is shown to be more effective for this typical case of passenger cabin.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is one of key features on intelligent Transportation System(ITS). In ACC, the steering is done by a driver, but the engine throttle valve and the brake are controlled electronically. The relative velocity and distance from the preceeding vehicle are measured by radars or image processing units and relevant vehicular spacing is maintained in ACC control systems. In this study, vehicle longitudinal dynamics are modeled to simulate vehicle longitudinal maneuver and to design longtitudinal controllers for ACC vehicles. The control algorithm is designed based on the modeled vehicle longitudinal dynamics using a non-linear sliding mode control method. To verity the performance of the control algorithm, a real time numerical simulation program is developed on a Silicon Graphics workstation using C-language . A real time graphic program is alos develpe and integrated with the numerical simulation program.

This paper presents an event-triggered model predictive controller for adaptive cruise control system with sampled and quantized-data. Unlike existing works, a longitudinal continuous-time model is used for the predictive control of the system. To efficiently utilize network resources, event-trigger scheme is employed, which allows limited sensor and actuator signal satisfying the condition that the measurement of errors is over the ratio of a trigger level. The proposed control gain is obtained by solving a convex problem satisfying several linear matrix inequalities at every sampling times. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
