Although, there exists methods to alleviate the problem, it is preferable to have a robust controller which can handle delays in sensor data well. In this study, a new method is proposed in the literature which uses an enhanced fuzzy variable structure controller that can handle delays in sensor data well. However it displays a steady state error. The novelty in this study is that the steady state error is handled using an integral term so that an acceptable performance is obtained.

Basic research in the emerging field of SAS has triggered advanced general AI technologies functioning without human intervention or hybrid symbiotic systems synergizing humans and intelligent machines into coherent cognitive systems. This work presents a theoretical framework of SAS underpinned by the latest advances in intelligence, cognition, computer, and system sciences. SAS are characterized by the composition of autonomous and symbiotic systems that adopt bio-brain-social-inspired and heterogeneously synergized structures and autonomous behaviors. This paper explores their cognitive and mathematical foundations. The challenge to seamless human-machine interactions in a hybrid environment is addressed. SAS-based collective intelligence is explored in order to augment huma...

Awareness of the predicted status of the traffic flow has prime importance in traffic management and traffic information divisions. The purpose of this research is to suggest a forecasting model for traffic flow by using deep learning techniques based on historical data in the Intelligent Transportation Systems area. The historical data collected from the Caltrans Performance Measurement Systems (PeMS) for six months in 2019. The proposed prediction model is a Variational Long Short-Term Memory Encoder in brief VLSTM-E try to estimate the flow accurately in contrast to other conventional methods. VLSTM-E can provide more reliable short-term traffic flow by considering the distribution and missing values.

ARCHIVE: Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering 1991-1996 (vols 205-210), 1993

In doing this, the missing outputs are replaced by their previously predicted values. This approach is much simpler than the approach commonly adopted in the literature which is based on the solution of an identity. The paper concludes with the formulation of the scheme for the trajectory control of a servo-system.

The controller operates in discrete time and the method presented describes an error measure that can be used if the task to be achieved is to drive the system under control to a predefined sliding regime. Once the task specific output error is calculated, the neurocontroller parameters can be tuned so that the task is achieved. The paper postulates the strategy for discrete time representation of uncertain nonlinear systems belonging to a particular class. The performance of the proposed technique has been clarified on a third order nonlinear system, and the parameters of the controller are adjusted by using error backpropagation algorithm. It is observed that the prescribed behavior can be achieved with a simple network configuration.
