文摘This paper investigates the platoon control of heterogeneous vehicular cyber-physical systems(VCPSs) subject to external disturbances by using neural network and uniformly quantized communication data.To reduce the adverse effects of quantization errors on system performance,a coupling sliding mode surface is established for each following vehicle.The radial basis function(RBF) neural networks are employed to approximate the unknown external disturbances.Then,a novel platoon control law is proposed for cooperative tracking in which each following vehicle only uses the uniformly quantized data of the neighboring vehicles.And the designed controllers in this paper are fully distributed due to the fact that the selection of each vehicle's controller parameters is independent of the entire communication topology.The string stability of VCPSs in the entire control process is ensured rather than only ensuring the string stability after the sliding mode surface converges to zero.Compared with the existing controller design methods and quantization mechanisms,the neural adaptive sliding-mode platoon controller proposed in this paper is superior in performances including tracking errors,driving comfort and fuel economy.Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the designed control strategy.

文摘The paper presents an adaptive controller formulated for a class of nonaffine discrete-time systems with non-strict forms and unknown dynamics.The controller operates based solely on the measured output,thus obviating the need for knowledge of the physical order of the controlled plant.Utilizing an ideal solution and equivalent dynamics,the approach integrates an adaptive network with feedback and robust controllers to establish a closed-loop system.A learning law is derived under practical conditions of the designed parameters,ensuring effective closed-loop performance based on pure-output feedback.The controller’s effectiveness is validated through both numerical and experimental systems,with results meeting the conditions specified in the main theorem.Comparative analysis highlights the controller’s highly satisfactory performance and its advantages.This research offers a promising approach to adaptive control for discrete-time systems with non-strict dynamics,providing practical solutions for systems with unknown dynamics and indeterminate system order.

文摘Cyber-physical systems(CPSs)are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to their integral connection between cyberspace and the physical world,which is augmented by Internet connectivity.This vulnerability necessitates a heightened focus on developing resilient control mechanisms for CPSs.However,current observer-based active compensation resilient controllers exhibit poor performance against stealthy deception attacks(SDAs)due to the difficulty in accurately reconstructing system states because of the stealthy nature of these attacks.Moreover,some non-active compensation approaches are insufficient when there is a complete loss of actuator control authority.To address these issues,we introduce a novel learning-based passive resilient controller(LPRC).Our approach,unlike observer-based state reconstruction,shows enhanced effectiveness in countering SDAs.We developed a safety state set,represented by an ellipsoid,to ensure CPS stability under SDA conditions,maintaining system trajectories within this set.Additionally,by employing deep reinforcement learning(DRL),the LPRC acquires the capacity to adapt and diverse evolving attack strategies.To empirically substantiate our methodology,various attack methods were compared with current passive and active compensation resilient control methods to evaluate their performance.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter studies the stabilization control issue of cyber-physical systems with time-varying delays and aperiodic denial-of-service(DoS)attacks.To address the calculation overload issue caused by networked predictive control(NPC)approach,an event-based NPC method is proposed.Within the proposed method,the negative effects of time-varying delays and DoS attacks on system performance are compensated.Then,sufficient and necessary conditions are derived to ensure the stability of the closed-loop system.In the end,simulation results are provided to demonstrate the validity of presented method.

文摘An Interval Type-2(IT-2)fuzzy controller design approach is proposed in this research to simultaneously achievemultiple control objectives inNonlinearMulti-Agent Systems(NMASs),including formation,containment,and collision avoidance.However,inherent nonlinearities and uncertainties present in practical control systems contribute to the challenge of achieving precise control performance.Based on the IT-2 Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model(T-SFM),the fuzzy control approach can offer a more effective solution for NMASs facing uncertainties.Unlike existing control methods for NMASs,the Formation and Containment(F-and-C)control problem with collision avoidance capability under uncertainties based on the IT-2 T-SFM is discussed for the first time.Moreover,an IT-2 fuzzy tracking control approach is proposed to solve the formation task for leaders in NMASs without requiring communication.This control scheme makes the design process of the IT-2 fuzzy Formation Controller(FC)more straightforward and effective.According to the communication interaction protocol,the IT-2 Containment Controller(CC)design approach is proposed for followers to ensure convergence into the region defined by the leaders.Leveraging the IT-2 T-SFM representation,the analysis methods developed for linear Multi-Agent Systems(MASs)are successfully extended to perform containment analysis without requiring the additional assumptions imposed in existing research.Notably,the IT-2 fuzzy tracking controller can also be applied in collision avoidance situations to track the desired trajectories calculated by the avoidance algorithm under the Artificial Potential Field(APF).Benefiting from the combination of vortex and source APFs,the leaders can properly adjust the system dynamics to prevent potential collision risk.Integrating the fuzzy theory and APFs avoidance algorithm,an IT-2 fuzzy controller design approach is proposed to achieve the F-and-C purposewhile ensuring collision avoidance capability.Finally,amulti-ship simulation is conducted to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the designed IT-2 fuzzy controller.
文摘This phenomenological qualitative study explored the lived experiences of employees at Maryland's Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCUs)concerning internal control systems through the theoretical lenses of the COSO framework and employee engagement theory.Using semi-structured interviews with faculty and staff who had worked at the institution for more than three years,the research investigated how employees perceive leadership tone,risk assessment processes,policy implementation,communication channels,and evaluation mechanisms related to internal controls.The study revealed five major themes that characterize employee experiences with internal control systems at this HBCU.Leadership communication was found to be hierarchical but inclusive,though marked by inconsistent communication of ethical values and significant resource constraints affecting implementation.Risk management practices were predominantly reactive rather than proactive,with limited systematic risk assessment processes that focused more on academic risks than operational vulnerabilities.Policy implementation was characterized by unclear separation of duties,substantial workload imbalances,and limited resources that compromised effective control activities.Communication challenges emerged as a critical weakness,with participants describing information sharing as inconsistent,unclear,and selective,compounded by significant technology obstacles in accessing necessary information.The evaluation and improvement processes were found to be limited and primarily driven by external accreditation requirements rather than systematic internal monitoring,resulting in reactive responses to issues rather than proactive enhancement.The findings contribute to the limited research on internal control systems within HBCUs by providing phenomenological insights into how structural constraints including funding limitations,unclear role delineation,and reactive management approaches create barriers to implementing robust internal control systems.Despite institutional commitment to inclusive leadership and student success,the study reveals that addressing these challenges requires not only increased resources but also structural changes to workload distribution,communication practices,and a shift toward more proactive risk management and monitoring procedures.The research provides evidence-based insights for HBCU administrators seeking to strengthen internal control implementation while maintaining institutional mission and cultural values.

文摘This paper proposes a model-based control framework for vehicle platooning systems with secondorder nonlinear dynamics operating over switching signed networks,time-varying delays,and deception attacks.The study includes two configurations:a leaderless structure using Finite-Time Non-Singular Terminal Bipartite Consensus(FNTBC)and Fixed-Time Bipartite Consensus(FXTBC),and a leader—follower structure ensuring structural balance and robustness against deceptive signals.In the leaderless model,a bipartite controller based on impulsive control theory,gauge transformation,and Markovian switching Lyapunov functions ensures mean-square stability and coordination under deception attacks and communication delays.The FNTBC achieves finite-time convergence depending on initial conditions,while the FXTBC guarantees fixed-time convergence independent of them,providing adaptability to different operating states.In the leader—follower case,a discontinuous impulsive control law synchronizes all followers with the leader despite deceptive attacks and switching topologies,maintaining robust coordination through nonlinear corrective mechanisms.To validate the approach,simulations are conducted on systems of five and seventeen vehicles in both leaderless and leader—follower configurations.The results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves rapid consensus,strong robustness,and high resistance to deception attacks,offering a secure and scalable model-based control solution for modern vehicular communication networks.

文摘This paper investigates the consensus tracking control problem for high order nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to non-affine faults,partial measurable states,uncertain control coefficients,and unknown external disturbances.Under the directed topology conditions,an observer-based finite-time control strategy based on adaptive backstepping and is proposed,in which a neural network-based state observer is employed to approximate the unmeasurable system state variables.To address the complexity explosion problem associated with the backstepping method,a finite-time command filter is incorporated,with error compensation signals designed to mitigate the filter-induced errors.Additionally,the Butterworth low-pass filter is introduced to avoid the algebraic ring problem in the design of the controller.The finite-time stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously analyzed with the finite-time Lyapunov stability criterion,validating that all closed-loop signals of the system remain bounded within a finite time.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified through a simulation example.
