文摘Realistic faults and failures often occur probabilistically in the lane-keeping system of autonomous electric vehicles,reducing system reliability and posing significant challenges to driving safety.To enhance the system resilience,this paper proposes a novel robust fuzzy fault-tolerant control strategy that incorporates the adaptive event-trigger(AET)mechanism to realize stable,reliable,and precise lane-keeping control in the presence of multiple system uncertainties and probabilistic faults.First,to capture the uncertain and time-varying nature of tire cornering stiffness,an effective Takagi-Sugeno(T-S)fuzzy tire model is developed.Then,by employing the distribution-based probabilistic approach,two sets of unrelated random variables,random sensor and actuator faults in the control system,are modeled.Next,to improve communication efficiency and address ineluctable network-induced delays,an AET control framework with a well-designed triggering condition is established.Subsequently,a robust fuzzy output feedback fault-tolerant lane-keeping controller that satisfies the H∞per-formance is designed by using the Lyapunov-Krasovski functional method.Furthermore,the mean-square ex-ponential stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously guaranteed.Finally,real-time simulations based on Carsim/Simulink co-simulation platform under dynamic driving conditions demonstrate the feasibility and ef-fectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘Rapidly-exploring Random Tree(RRT)and its variants have become foundational in path-planning research,yet in complex three-dimensional off-road environments their uniform blind sampling and limited safety guarantees lead to slow convergence and force an unfavorable trade-off between path quality and traversal safety.To address these challenges,we introduce HS-APF-RRT*,a novel algorithm that fuses layered sampling,an enhanced Artificial Potential Field(APF),and a dynamic neighborhood-expansion mechanism.First,the workspace is hierarchically partitioned into macro,meso,and micro sampling layers,progressively biasing random samples toward safer,lower-energy regions.Second,we augment the traditional APF by incorporating a slope-dependent repulsive term,enabling stronger avoidance of steep obstacles.Third,a dynamic expansion strategy adaptively switches between 8 and 16 connected neighborhoods based on local obstacle density,striking an effective balance between search efficiency and collision-avoidance precision.In simulated off-road scenarios,HS-APF-RRT*is benchmarked against RRT*,GoalBiased RRT*,and APF-RRT*,and demonstrates significantly faster convergence,lower path-energy consumption,and enhanced safety margins.

文摘Hypersonic morphing vehicle(HMV)can reconfigure aerodynamic geometries in real time,adapting to diverse needs like multi-mission profiles and wide-speed-range flight,spanwise morphing and sweep angle variation are representative large-scale wing reconfiguration modes.To meet the HMV's need for an increased lift and a lift to drag ratio during hypersonic maneuverability and cruise or reentry equilibrium glide,this paper proposes an innovative single-DOF coupled morphing-wing system.We then systematically analyze its open-loop kinematics and closed-loop connectivity constraints,and the proposed system integrates three functional modules:the preset locking/release mechanism,the coupled morphing-wing mechanism,and the integrated wing locking with active stiffness control mechanism.Experimental validation confirms stable,continuous morphing under simulated aerodynamic loads.The experimental results indicate:(i)SMA actuators exhibit response times ranging from 18 s to 160 s,providing sufficient force output for wing unlocking;(ii)The integrated wing locking with active stiffness control mechanism effectively secures wing positions while eliminating airframe clearance via SMA actuation,improving the first-order natural frequency by more than 17%;(iii)The distributed aerodynamic loading system enables precise multi-stage follow-up loading during morphing,with the coupled morphing wing maintaining stable,continuous operation under 0-3500 N normal loads and 110-140 N axial force.The proposed single-DOF coupled morphing mechanism not only simplifies and improves structural efficiency but also demonstrates superior performance in locking control,stiffness enhancement,and aerodynamic responsiveness.This establishes a foundational framework for the design of future intelligent morphing configurations and the implementation of flight control systems.

文摘Amphibious vehicles are more prone to attitude instability compared to ships,making it crucial to develop effective methods for monitoring instability risks.However,large inclination events,which can lead to instability,occur frequently in both experimental and operational data.This infrequency causes events to be overlooked by existing prediction models,which lack the precision to accurately predict inclination attitudes in amphibious vehicles.To address this gap in predicting attitudes near extreme inclination points,this study introduces a novel loss function,termed generalized extreme value loss.Subsequently,a deep learning model for improved waterborne attitude prediction,termed iInformer,was developed using a Transformer-based approach.During the embedding phase,a text prototype is created based on the vehicle’s operation log data is constructed to help the model better understand the vehicle’s operating environment.Data segmentation techniques are used to highlight local data variation features.Furthermore,to mitigate issues related to poor convergence and slow training speeds caused by the extreme value loss function,a teacher forcing mechanism is integrated into the model,enhancing its convergence capabilities.Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method,demonstrating its ability to handle data imbalance challenges.Specifically,the model achieves over a 60%improvement in root mean square error under extreme value conditions,with significant improvements observed across additional metrics.

文摘As carrier aircraft sortie frequency and flight deck operational density increase,autonomous dispatch trajectory planning for carrier-based vehicles demands efficient,safe,and kinematically feasible solutions.This paper presents an Iterative Safe Dispatch Corridor(iSDC)framework,addressing the suboptimality of the traditional SDC method caused by static corridor construction and redundant obstacle exploration.First,a Kinodynamic-Informed-Bidirectional Rapidly-exploring Random Tree Star(KIBRRT^(*))algorithm is proposed for the front-end coarse planning.By integrating bidirectional tree expansion,goal-biased elliptical sampling,and artificial potential field guidance,it reduces unnecessary exploration near concave obstacles and generates kinematically admissible paths.Secondly,the traditional SDC is implemented in an iterative manner,and the obtained trajectory in the current iteration is fed into the next iteration for corridor generation,thus progressively improving the quality of withincorridor constraints.For tractors,a reverse-motion penalty function is incorporated into the back-end optimizer to prioritize forward driving,aligning with mechanical constraints and human operational preferences.Numerical validations on the data of Gerald R.Ford-class carrier demonstrate that the KIBRRT^(*)reduces average computational time by 75%and expansion nodes by 25%compared to conventional RRT^(*)algorithms.Meanwhile,the iSDC framework yields more time-efficient trajectories for both carrier aircraft and tractors,with the dispatch time reduced by 31.3%and tractor reverse motion proportion decreased by 23.4%relative to traditional SDC.The presented framework offers a scalable solution for autonomous dispatch in confined and safety-critical environment,and an illustrative animation is available at bilibili.com/video/BV1tZ7Zz6Eyz.Moreover,the framework can be easily extended to three-dimension scenarios,and thus applicable for trajectory planning of aerial and underwater vehicles.

文摘With the continuous advancement of unmanned technology in various application domains,the development and deployment of blind-spot-free panoramic video systems have gained increasing importance.Such systems are particularly critical in battlefield environments,where advanced panoramic video processing and wireless communication technologies are essential to enable remote control and autonomous operation of unmanned ground vehicles(UGVs).However,conventional video surveillance systems suffer from several limitations,including limited field of view,high processing latency,low reliability,excessive resource consumption,and significant transmission delays.These shortcomings impede the widespread adoption of UGVs in battlefield settings.To overcome these challenges,this paper proposes a novel multi-channel video capture and stitching system designed for real-time video processing.The system integrates the Speeded-Up Robust Features(SURF)algorithm and the Fast Library for Approximate Nearest Neighbors(FLANN)algorithm to execute essential operations such as feature detection,descriptor computation,image matching,homography estimation,and seamless image fusion.The fused panoramic video is then encoded and assembled to produce a seamless output devoid of stitching artifacts and shadows.Furthermore,H.264 video compression is employed to reduce the data size of the video stream without sacrificing visual quality.Using the Real-Time Streaming Protocol(RTSP),the compressed stream is transmitted efficiently,supporting real-time remote monitoring and control of UGVs in dynamic battlefield environments.Experimental results indicate that the proposed system achieves high stability,flexibility,and low latency.With a wireless link latency of 30 ms,the end-to-end video transmission latency remains around 140 ms,enabling smooth video communication.The system can tolerate packet loss rates(PLR)of up to 20%while maintaining usable video quality(with latency around 200 ms).These properties make it well-suited for mobile communication scenarios demanding high real-time video performance.

文摘Considering the uncertainty of grid connection of electric vehicle charging stations and the uncertainty of new energy and residential electricity load,a spatio-temporal decoupling strategy of dynamic reactive power optimization based on clustering-local relaxation-correction is proposed.Firstly,the k-medoids clustering algorithm is used to divide the reduced power scene into periods.Then,the discrete variables and continuous variables are optimized in the same period of time.Finally,the number of input groups of parallel capacitor banks(CB)in multiple periods is fixed,and then the secondary static reactive power optimization correction is carried out by using the continuous reactive power output device based on the static reactive power compensation device(SVC),the new energy grid-connected inverter,and the electric vehicle charging station.According to the characteristics of the model,a hybrid optimization algorithm with a cross-feedback mechanism is used to solve different types of variables,and an improved artificial hummingbird algorithm based on tent chaotic mapping and adaptive mutation is proposed to improve the solution efficiency.The simulation results show that the proposed decoupling strategy can obtain satisfactory optimization resultswhile strictly guaranteeing the dynamic constraints of discrete variables,and the hybrid algorithm can effectively solve the mixed integer nonlinear optimization problem.

文摘The emission of heavy-duty vehicles has raised great concerns worldwide.The complex working and loading conditions,which may differ a lot from PEMS tests,raised new challenges to the supervision and control of emissions,especially during real-world applications.On-board diagnostics(OBD)technology with data exchange enabled and strengthened the monitoring of emissions from a large number of heavy-duty diesel vehicles.This paper presents an analysis of the OBD data collected from more than 800 city and highway heavy-duty vehicles in China using remote OBD data terminals.Real-world NO_(x)and CO_(2)emissions of China-6 heavy-duty vehicles have been examined.The results showed that city heavy-duty vehicles had higher NO_(x)emission levels,which was mostly due to longer time of low SCR temperatures below 180°C.The application of novel methods based on 3BMAWalso found that heavy-duty diesel vehicles tended to have high NO_(x)emissions at idle.Also,little difference had been found in work-based CO_(2)emissions,and this may be due to no major difference were found in occupancies of hot running.

文摘Utilizing artificial intelligence(AI)to protect smart coastal cities has become a novel vision for scientific and industrial institutions.One of these AI technologies is using efficient and secure multi-environment Unmanned Vehicles(UVs)for anti-submarine attacks.This study’s contribution is the early detection of a submarine assault employing hybrid environment UVs that are controlled using swarm optimization and secure the information in between UVs using a decentralized cybersecurity strategy.The Dragonfly Algorithm is used for the orientation and clustering of the UVs in the optimization approach,and the Re-fragmentation strategy is used in the Network layer of the TCP/IP protocol as a cybersecurity solution.The research’s noteworthy findings demonstrate UVs’logistical capability to promptly detect the target and address the problem while securely keeping the drone’s geographical information.The results suggest that detecting the submarine early increases the likelihood of averting a collision.The dragonfly strategy of sensing the position of the submersible and aggregating around it demonstrates the reliability of swarm intelligence in increasing access efficiency.Securing communication between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)improves the level of secrecy necessary for the task.The swarm navigation is based on a peer-to-peer system,which allows each UAV to access information from its peers.This,in turn,helps the UAVs to determine the best route to take and to avoid collisions with other UAVs.The dragonfly strategy also increases the speed of the mission by minimizing the time spent finding the target.

文摘In Internet of Vehicles,VehicleInfrastructure-Cloud cooperation supports diverse intelligent driving and intelligent transportation applications.Federated Learning(FL)is the emerging computation paradigm to provide efficient and privacypreserving collaborative learning.However,in Io V environment,federated learning faces the challenges introduced by high mobility of vehicles and nonIndependently Identically Distribution(non-IID)of data.High mobility causes FL clients quit and the communication offline.The non-IID data leads to slow and unstable convergence of global model and single global model's weak adaptability to clients with different localization characteristics.Accordingly,this paper proposes a personalized aggregation strategy for hierarchical Federated Learning in Io V environment,including Fed SA(Special Asynchronous Federated Learning with Self-adaptive Aggregation)for low-level FL between a Road Side Unit(RSU)and the vehicles within its coverage,and Fed Att(Federated Learning with Attention Mechanism)for high-level FL between a cloud server and multiple RSUs.Agents self-adaptively obtain model aggregation weight based on Advantage Actor-Critic(A2C)algorithm.Experiments show the proposed strategy encourages vehicles to participate in global aggregation,and outperforms existing methods in training performance.
