This paper presents a fuzzy control scheme for backing up control of Truck-Trailer, which is nonlinear and unstable by using TSK(Takagi-Sugeno-kang) fuzzy system. The nonlinear system of Truck-Trailer was expressed by using TSK fuzzy model, and the TSK fuzzy controller was designed from TSK fuzzy model. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm for backing up truck-trailer is certificated by the computer simulations.

Fuzzy theory has been used effectively to control the nonlinear system since Mamdani successively adopted fuzzy theory in the steam-engine control problem in 1973. Truckbacker-upper control problem originally proposed by Nguyen and Widrow become a standard highly nonlinear control problem. In this paper, we designed adaptive fuzzy membership functions for speed control as well as steering control. In other words, an adaptive fuzzy control system for truck backer-upper problem useful for practical adaptation is proposed. Experimental results by simulations prove the effectiveness of the proposed system.

A trailer truck is a major equipment for transporting containers, and its driving is difficult due to two degrees of freedom which exist in the joint part between truck and trailer. Especially Backing a trailer truck to a parking home is a difficult exercise for all but the most skilled truck drivers. Normal driving instincts lead to erroneous movements. When watching a truck driver backing toward a parking home, one often observes the driver backing, going forward, backing again, going forward, etc., and finally backing to the desired position along the parking home. This paper discusses the design of the controller to control the steering of a trailer truck while only backing up to a parking home from an initial position. In this paper, we propose a backing up control system for a container trailer truck using fuzzy theory where the primitive fuzzy control rules are macroscopically designed using an expert's knowledge, and the control rules are regulated by LIBL(Linguistic Instruction Based Learning) to enable to back up successfully the trailer tuck to a parking home from arbitrary initial position. The validity of the proposed parking control system is shown by applying it to some initial positions on the simulator for container trailer truck.

In this paper, we present implementation of backward movement control of truck-trailer vehicles using a fuzzy mode-based control scheme considering practical constraints and computational overhead. We propose a fuzzy feedback controller where output is predicted with the delay of a unit sampling period. Analysis and design of the proposed controller is very easy, because it is synchronized with sampling time. Stability analysis is also possible when quantization exists in the implementation of fuzzy control architectures, and we show that if the trivial solution of the fuzzy control system without quantization is asymptotically stable, then the solutions of the fuzzy control system with quantization are uniformly ultimately bounded. Experimental results using a toy truck show that the proposed control system outperforms a conventional system.

In this paper, we construct a hybrid intelligent controller based on a fusion scheme of GA(Genetic Algorithm) and FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering-based ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). In the structure identification, a set of fuzzy rules are generated for a given criterion by FCM clustering algorithm. In the parameter identification, premise parameters are optimally searched by adaptive GA. On the other hand, consequent parameters are estimated by RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimate) to reduce the search space. Finally, we applied the proposed method to the truck backer-upper control and obtained a better performance than previous works.

Fuzzy system which are based on membership functions and rules, can control nonlinear, uncertian, complex system well. However, Fuzzy controller has problems: It is difficult to design a stable for amateur. To update the then-part membership functions of the fuzzy controller can be designed using the Optimal fuzzy controller. Then we could be optimized the system choosing a good performance index. The proposed fuzzy controller based on Optimal fuzzy control is an Truck-Backer for demonstration of the robustness of proposed methodology.

In the construction of successful fuzzy models and/or controllers for nonlinear systems, identification of a good fuzzy Neural inference system is an important yet difficult problem, which is traditionally accomplished by trial and error process. In this paper, we propose a systematic identification procedure for complex multi-input single- output nonlinear systems with DNA coding method.DNA coding method is optimization algorithm based on biological DNA as are conventional genetic algothms (GAs). We also propose a new coding method for applying the DNA coding method to the identification of fuzzy Neural models. To acquire optimal TS fuzzy model with higher accuracy and economical size, we use the DNA coding method to optimize the parameters and the number of fuzzy inference system.

In a fuzzy control system to vocess fuzzy data in high-speed for intelligent systems, one of the important problems is the improvement of the execution speed in the fuzzy inference and defuzzification stages. Especially, it is more important to have high-speed operations in the consequent Pan and defuzzification stage. Therefore, in this paper, to improve the speedup of the fuzzy controllers for intelligent systems, we propose novel integer fuzzy operation method without mulitplications and divisions by only integer addition to convert real values in the fuzzy membership functions in the consequent part to integer grid pixels $(400{\times}30)$ without [0, 1] real operations. Also we apply the proposed system to the truck backer-upper control system. As a result, this system shows a real-time very high speed fuzzy control as compared as the conventional methods. This system will be applied to the real-time high-speed intelligent systems such as robot arm control.

With the increase of truck traffic, roads are becoming more congested and the risk of accidents is also increasing. Since the fatality rate of traffic accidents caused by trucks is about 2 to 3 times higher than that of passenger cars and buses, it is urgent to prepare policies for truck traffic safety. While most of the previous studies focused on factor analysis that contributes to traffic accidents, this study presented traffic safety policies (4 major-criteria and 12 sub-criteria) for trucks through driver interviews and previous studies. Then, the priority of the policies was evaluated by using Fuzzy-AHP. As a result, the improvement of truck drivers' working environment was evaluated as the most important criteria, and followed by the improvement of road traffic conditions. In detail, there is an urgent need to improve the freight car fare system, ensure sufficient rest for drivers, and strengthen the crackdown of illegal parking and stopping along roads. This study is expected to be usefully utilized in preparing traffic flow safety policies in preparation for the continuous increase of truck traffic.

In a fuzzy control system to process fuzzy data in high-speed for intelligent systems, one of the important problems is the improvement of the execution speed in the fuzzy inference and defuzzification stages. Especially, it is more important to have high-speed operations in the consequent part and defuzzification stage. Therefore, in this paper, to improve the speedup of the fuzzy controllers for intelligent systems, we propose an integer line mapping algorithm using only integer addition to convert [0,1] real values in the fuzzy membership functions in the consequent part to integer grid pixels $(400{\times}30)$. This paper also shows a novel defuzzification algorithm without multiplications. Also we apply the proposed system to the truck backer-upper control system. As a result, this system shows a real-time very high speed fuzzy control as compared as the conventional methods. This system will be applied to the real-time high-speed intelligent systems such as robot arm control.
