Abstract

Different continuous-time approches have been proposed in recent years to formulate active control algorithms to reduce the response of civil engineering structures under dynamic excitations. In this paper, a general formulation of a new discrete-time control methodology is presented [...]

Abstract

Obstacle avoidance is a core part of the autonomous driving of off-road vehicles, such as semi-trailers. Due to the long length of semi-trailers, the traditional obstacle avoidance controller based on the circumcircle model can ensure that there is no collision between the semi-trailer [...]

Abstract

International audience; Semi-autonomous driving assistance systems have a high potential to improve the safety and efficiency of the battery electric vehicles that are enduring limited cruising range. This paper presents an ecologically advanced driver assistance system to extend [...]

Abstract

ggregated demand response for smart grid services is a growing field of interest especially for market participation. A growing trend in research is to utilize aggregated demand response for multiple smart grid services. This could be multi-market trading (day ahead, intraday and [...]

Abstract

International audience; Battery Electric Vehicles are becoming a promising technology for road transportation. However, the main disadvantage is the limited cruising range they can travel on a single battery charge. This paper presents a novel extended ecological cruise control system [...]

Abstract

This work regards the design of optimization techniques for the purposes of state estimation and control in the framework of inland waterways, often characterized by negligible bottom slopes and large time delays. The derived control-oriented model allows these issues to be handled [...]

Abstract

This paper proposes a methodology for leak detection and isolation (LDI) in pipelines based on data fusion from two approaches: a steady-state estimation and an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). The proposed method considers only pressure head and flow rate measurements at the pipeline [...]

Abstract

The objective of this work is the control of a Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) mold trying to obtain a temperature in the whole cavity as much homogeneous as possible. This is a complex process, mainly because of two factors: temperature distribution in a complex geometry and variability [...]
