Decentralized Dynamic Event-Triggered Communication and Active Suspension Control of In-Wheel Motor Driven Electric Vehicles with Dynamic Damping

This paper addresses the co-design problem of decentralized dynamic event-triggered communication and active suspension control for an in-wheel motor driven electric vehicle equipped with a dynamic damper. The main objective is to simultaneously improve the desired suspension performance caused by various road disturbances and alleviate the network resource utilization for the concerned in-vehicle networked suspension system. First, a T-S fuzzy active suspension model of an electric vehicle under dynamic damping is established. Second,a novel decentralized dynamic event-triggered communication mechanism is developed to regulate each sensor's data transmissions such that sampled data packets on each sensor are scheduled in an independent manner. In contrast to the traditional static triggering mechanisms, a key feature of the proposed mechanism is that the threshold parameter in the event trigger is adjusted adaptively over time to reduce the network resources occupancy. Third, co-design criteria for the desired event-triggered fuzzy controller and dynamic triggering mechanisms are derived. Finally, comprehensive comparative simulation studies of a 3-degrees-of-freedom quarter suspension model are provided under both bump road disturbance and ISO-2631 classified random road disturbance to validate the effectiveness of the proposed co-design approach. It is shown that ride comfort can be greatly improved in either road disturbance case and the suspension deflection, dynamic tyre load and actuator control input are all kept below the prescribed maximum allowable limits, while simultaneously maintaining desirable communication efficiency.

Event-triggered synchronization control for complex networks with uncertain inner coupling

This paper is concerned with the event-triggered synchronization control problem for a class of complex networks with uncertain inner couplings. The uncertain inner coupling under consideration is characterized in terms of the interval matrix. In order to save the communication and computation resources, the event-based mechanism is adopted and the event-triggered synchronization control scheme is proposed for the complex networks. First, we transform the event-triggered synchronization control problem into the exponential stabilization problem for a new class of dynamical systems with multiple delays. Then, by employing the Lyapunov stability theory, we derive a sufficient condition under which the multi-delayed system is exponentially stable. Subsequently, a set of event-triggered synchronization controllers is designed in terms of the solution to a linear matrix inequality that can be solved effectively by using available software. Finally, a numerical simulation example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed event-triggered control scheme.

Event-triggered controller design of nonlinear discrete-time networked control systems in T-S fuzzy model

This article is concerned with event-triggered fuzzy control design for a class of discrete-time nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with time-varying communication delays. Firstly, a more general mixed event-triggering scheme (ETS) is proposed. Secondly, considering the effects of the ETS and communication delays, based on the T-S fuzzy model scheme and time delay system approach, the original nonlinear NCSs is reformulated as a new event-triggered networked T-S fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delays. Sufficient conditions for uniform ultimately bound (UUB) stability are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In particular, the quantitative relation between the boundness of the stability region and the triggering parameters are studied in detail. Thirdly, a relative ETS is also provided, which can be seen as a special case of the above proposed mixed ETS. As a difference from the preceding results, sufficient conditions on the existence of desired fuzzy controller are derived to ensure the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system with reduced communication frequency between sensors and controllers. Moreover, a co-design algorithm for simultaneously determining the gain matrices of the fuzzy controller and the triggering parameters is developed. Finally, two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed ETS and the effectiveness of the controller design method.     

Event-triggered fuzzy filtering in networked control system for a class of non-linear system with time delays

This paper focuses on the design of H _∞ filter and event-triggered scheme for a class of continuous non-linear networked control systems (NCSs) based on fuzzy system appeared with time delays. First, we consider the discrete event-triggered (ET) scheme to make efficient utilisation of bandwidth. Under this ET-scheme, sensor releases the data only when our sampled-data plant violates the specific event-triggered condition. Second, the T-S fuzzy system is used to model the non-linear NCSs. Another purpose of this paper is to design filters involving delays. Such filters have a more general form than the delay-free filters that have been mostly considered in the traditional studies. By using the time-delay system, co-design of event-triggered scheme and H _∞ filter for the delayed NCSs is presented in a unified frame work. To choose the latest data packet and discard the dis-ordered packet logic, zero-order hold is inserted between the fuzzy filter and event generator. Then, by using the novel fuzzy Lyapunov–Krasovskii function approach with free-weighting matrix technique, H _∞ filter design of event-triggered delay NCSs is proposed. Finally, to show the effective result of our co-design method, a tunnel-diode example is given.

Decentralized control: Status and outlook

This paper reviews state of the art in the area of decentralized networked control systems with an emphasis on event-triggered approach. The models or agents with the dynamics of linear continuous-time time-invariant state-space systems are considered. They serve for the framework for network phenomena within two basic structures. The I/O-oriented systems as well as the interaction-oriented systems with disjoint subsystems are distinguished. The focus is laid on the presentation of recent decentralized control design and co-design methods which offer effective tools to overcome specific difficulties caused mainly by network imperfections. Such side-effects include communication constraints, variable sampling, time-varying transmission delays, packet dropouts, and quantizations. Decentralized time-triggered methods are briefly discussed. The review is deals mainly with decentralized event-triggered methods. Particularly, the stabilizing controller–observer event-based controller design as well as the decentralized state controller co-design are presented within the I/O-oriented structures of large scale complex systems. The sampling instants depend in this case only on a local information offered by the local feedback loops. Minimum sampling time conditions are discussed. Special attention is focused on interaction-oriented system architecture. Model-based approach combined with event-based state feedback controller design is presented, where the event thresholds are fully decentralized. Finally, several selected open decentralized control problems are briefly offered as recent research challenges.

Stabilization of remote control systems with unknown time varying delays by LMI techniques

In this paper, the stabilization of one class of remote control systems with unknown time varying delays is analysed and discussed using LMI techniques. A discrete time state space model under a static control law for remote control systems is first introduced based on some assumptions on the uncertain term. The time delay is unknown, time varying, and can be decomposed into two parts: one fixed part which is unknown and is an integer multiple of the sampling time; the other part which is randomly varying but bounded by one sampling time. Static controller designs based on delay dependent stability conditions are presented. This system is then extended to a more general case when the randomly varying part of the time delay is not limited to one sampling time. The derivative of the time delay is not limited to be bounded. Hence, the contributions are as follow: (i) for a given controller, we can use these stability criteria to test stability of the resulted system; (ii) we can design a remote controller to stabilize an unstable system. Finally, simulation examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method and to demonstrate remote stabilization of open loop unstable systems.     

Multi-stage dynamic event-triggered containment control of nonlinear multi-agent systems with input-bounded leaders and time-varying delay

This article immerses in the event-triggered containment control problem for a Lipschitz-like nonlinear multi-agent system with multiple active leaders. First, two event-triggered mechanisms with internal dynamic variables are designed in both sensor-observer (S-O) and controller-actuator (C-A) channels to monitor data transmission and reduce communication burden. Second, an observer is constructed with the aid of the output information to estimate the states that cannot be acquired directly. Then, a control protocol considering time-varying communications delays is proposed based on the observer. Third, the boundedness analysis of the containment error system is constructed by Lyapunov stability theory, the sufficient conditions are given in light of strict feasible LMIs. Finally, the validity of the proposed controller is verified by two simulations.     

Decentralized stabilization of large-scale linear continuous systems with N X N time-varying delays

In this paper, a decentralized stabilization condition for large-scale linear continuous systems with N x N time-varying delays is established under a decomposition case of the interconnections. Based on a new stability theorem for a general type of retarded dynamic systems, the results are derived by using the Lyapunov function instead of the L yapunov functional. During the derivation, a new technique for estimating the derivative of the L yapunov function for the solution of the system under consideration is used so that the case of N x N time-varying delays can be dealt with as least conservatively as possible. It is noted that the stabilization condition obtained by using the proposed technique is better than those obtained by using the existing Razumikhin-type techniques in the literature. An example with three interconnected subsystems is given to illustrate the proposed method and to show the design of the local memoryless state feedback controllers.

Dynamic Event-Triggered Scheduling and Platooning Control Co-Design for Automated Vehicles Over Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

This paper deals with the co-design problem of event-triggered communication scheduling and platooning control over vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) subject to finite communication resource. First, a unified model is presented to describe the coordinated platoon behavior of leader-follower vehicles in the simultaneous presence of unknown external disturbances and an unknown leader control input. Under such a platoon model, the central aim is to achieve robust platoon formation tracking with desired inter-vehicle spacing and same velocities and accelerations guided by the leader, while attaining improved communication efficiency. Toward this aim, a novel bandwidth-aware dynamic event-triggered scheduling mechanism is developed. One salient feature of the scheduling mechanism is that the threshold parameter in the triggering law is dynamically adjusted over time based on both vehicular state variations and bandwidth status. Then, a sufficient condition for platoon control system stability and performance analysis as well as a co-design criterion of the admissible event-triggered platooning control law and the desired scheduling mechanism are derived. Finally, simulation results are provided to substantiate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed co-design approach for guaranteeing a trade-off between robust platooning control performance and communication efficiency.
