Comparison of linear and non-linear control schemes for collision avoidance in heavy road vehicles

TLDR
The developed controller for collision avoidance in a heavy commercial road vehicle has been developed using Lyapunov theory and it was observed that the non-linear controller has an advantage in terms of reduced time headway.
Abstract
In this paper, a non-linear controller for collision avoidance in a heavy commercial road vehicle has been developed using Lyapunov theory. This paper considers the longitudinal dynamics of the vehicle, including the aerodynamic effect, the rolling resistance and the road grade. This paper also considers the maximum tire-road adhesion capacity and the braking capability of the vehicle. The developed controller has been tested using simulation for three realistic scenarios for different road and loading conditions and the results were compared with a controller developed using a linear full state feedback controller. It was observed that the non-linear controller has an advantage in terms of reduced time headway.

Application of PID control to an electro-pneumatic brake system

TL;DR: In this article, an approximate first order linear model including time lag is proposed to predict the pressure transients in the brake system and the transfer function of the time lag was then approximated and used to design various controllers such as proportional, proportionalintegral and proportional-integral derivative controllers.
