   The design of an adaptive controller and stability analysis of the corresponding closed loop system are discussed for a class of SISO systems based on the characteristic model method. The obtained characteristic model is a second-order slow time-varying linear system with a compress mapping function for the system modeling error. The pole placement method is used to design the controller, and sufficient conditions for the stability of the closed loop system are obtained based on the robust control theory of slow time-varying systems with perturbations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by two numerical examples.

6. Road Characteristic Based Location Technique for Vehicle Exhaust Gas Detection Zerui Li, Yu Kang, Xin Wang, Xiaobin Tan, and Yun-Bo Zhao IFAC-Pap. 2015 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   Now there is a growing awareness that the air pollution in China is getting more and more serious, and the leading factor is the exhaust produced by vehicles in cities. To detect every registered vehicle enables us to take means to control the air pollution in cities. The conventional methods detecting exhaust by simulating running states, cannot capture the real-time emissions effectively. The remote sensing system for exhaust gas detection is an effective way to solve these problems. However, there is no location technique on how to place vehicle exhaust detecting devices in traffic network. This paper proposes a road characteristic based location technique for the devices. After determining the monitoring area and collecting the related road information, a model based on the road characteristics is established. Then these roads are clustered into several parts and the core roads will be the location. Finally the several schemes are evaluated, ranked and picked to achieve a relatively optimal location scheme.

   In this paper, a new method for stability analysis of a single degree of freedom (SDOF) cutting system with sinusoidal spindle speed variation (SSSV) is proposed. Based on the approximately periodic prop- erty of the time delay in the turning process and the delay decomposition method, novel criteria of stability analysis for an SDOF cutting system are presented. Moreover, a state feedback controller is designed to stabilize the system and improve the steady-state response. Numerical simulation shows the effectiveness of the method.

   A new algorithm is proposed to detect and extract in real-time signals with fundamental and harmonic wave components in the power grid，which is applicable to power measurement. The proposed method is based on the concept of adaptive filter，and adaptively decomposes the measured power signal into its constituting components，resulting in a fast convergence rate.The fundamental and harmonic wave components in the power grid can be decomposed into a series of sinusoidal signals.The frequency of the power grid is measured by energy operator.A model of voltage and curent wave in the power grid is constructed，a new step-size LMS algorithm for improving the adaptive filter is proposed and the stability of the proposed method is discused. The efectivenes of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulation examples.

9. Networked Control Systems: The Communication Basics and Control Methodologies Yun-Bo Zhao , Xi-Ming Sun, Jinhui Zhang, and Peng Shi Math. Probl. Eng. 2015 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   As an emerging research field, networked control systems have shown the increasing importance and attracted more and more attention in the recent years. The integration of control and communication in networked control systems has made the design and analysis of such systems a great theoretical challenge for conventional control theory. Such an integration also makes the implementation of networked control systems a necessary intermediate step towards the final convergence of control, communication, and computation. We here introduce the basics of networked control systems and then describe the state-of-the- art research in this field. We hope such a brief tutorial can be useful to inspire further development of networked control systems in both theory and potential applications.

10. Stability Analysis of A Class of Hybrid Stochastic Retarded Systems under Asynchronous Switching Yu Kang, Di-Hua Zhai, Guo-Ping Liu, Yun-Bo Zhao , and Ping Zhao IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 2014 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

    The stability of a class of hybrid stochastic retarded systems (HSRSs) with an asynchronous switching controller is investigated. In this model, the controller design relies on the observed jumping parameters, which are however delayed and thus can not be measured in real-time precisely. This delayed time interval, referred to as the “asynchronous switching interval”, is Markovian and dependent on the actual switching signal. The suf- ficient conditions under which the system is either stochastically asymptotic stable or input-to-state stable are obtained by apply- ing the extended Razumikhin-type theorem to the asynchronous switching interval. These results are less conservative as it is only required that the designed Lyapunov function is non-decreasing. It is shown that the stability of the considered system can be guaranteed by a sufficiently small mode transition rate of the underlying Markov process, which is a conclusion similar to that in asynchronous deterministic switched systems. The effectiveness and correctness of the obtained results are finally verified by a numerical example.

1. Remote Sensing and Artificial Neural Network Estimation of On-Road Vehicle Emissions Zerui Li, Yu Kang, and Yun-Bo Zhao In Int. Conf. Adv. Inf. Netw. Appl. 2016 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   The emissions of on-road vehicles are studied based on a remote sensing system and artificial neural network models. A transportable vehicle emission remote sensing system is used to collect the emission data from May to August 2012 in Hefei, China. Based on these light-duty gasoline vehicle data containing the emission pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitric oxide, and so on, artificial neural network models are constructed to estimate the relation of fuel-based emission factors and input parameters. The performance of the developed models is analyzed and compared, showing that neural networks perform better than the multiple linear regression models, thus validating the effectiveness of neural networks in vehicle emission estimation.

2. Location Problem for Traffic Emission Monitors Zerui Li, Yu Kang, and Yun-Bo Zhao In Int. Conf. Hum. Syst. Interact. 2016 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   In order to mitigate the air pollution caused by traf- fic, the monitoring of on-road vehicle emission is really an urgent issue. The Vehicle Emission Remote Sensing System (VERSS) is a promising technology to solve this problem. But there is scarcely any available location strategy for traffic emission monitors yet to our knowledge, which restraints the use of monitors on a large scale of traffic network. In this paper, we make some efforts to solve a novel location problem in the transportation domain, that is, we look for the minimum subset of roads on which traffic emission monitors should be located, thus we can detect as many on-road vehicles as possible. We explicate how to transform the location problem to some graph problems and give the problem formulation mathematically. Then a two-step algorithm is designed to find the set of roads to locate monitors. The simulation test verify its availability. And in the last section some problems that should be studied further are presented at the end of the paper.

3. Improved Results on Stability of Markovian Jump Systems with Time-Varying Delays Pengfei Li, Yu Kang, and Yun-Bo Zhao In IEEE Int. Conf. Control Appl. 2016 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   The stochastic stability of Markovian jump sys- tems with time-varying delays is investigated. Three delay- partitioning methods, i.e., partitioning [0,dmin], [dmin,dmax] and both, are considered to derive the delay-range-dependent stability criteria. Different Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are consequently constructed for the stochastic stability of the sys- tem. The effectiveness of those results are finally domonstrated by a numerical example.

4. Fusion Approach for Real-Time Mapping Street Atmospheric Pollution Concentration Wenjun Lv, Yu Kang, Zerui Li, and Yun-Bo Zhao In Int. Conf. Hum. Syst. Interact. 2016 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   The real-time mapping of street atmospheric pollu- tion concentration does play an important role because its knowl- edge is crucial for strategy-makers to make more effective control strategies to decrease urban atmospheric pollution and improving urban atmospheric environment. Combining the conventional methods (e.g. the dispersion model prediction and neural network prediction) and mobile measurement technology (e.g. the GMAP vehicle) which their characteristics are complementary, a linear model is proposed and then a fusion approach called weighting filter derived from the concept of Kalman filter. Moreover, a self- tuning regulator is introduced to adjust the parameters of filter for the changing noise statistical characteristics over time which mainly caused by season switch. The performances of asymptotic stability and asymptotic optimality are both mathematically proven. Finally a simulation test is conducted to verify this approach.

5. Fuzzy-Logic Based Adaptive Weighting Filter for Strap-down Inertial Navigation Systems Wenjun Lv, Yu Kang, Zhi-Jun Li, and Yun-Bo Zhao In World Congr. Intell. Control Autom. 2014 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   Strap-down inertial navigation systems are widely applicable in both military and civil industries. The outputs of gyroscope and accelerometer are polluted by noises. Different form the conventional technologies, the weighting filter pre- sented in this work is superior to both the complementary filter and Kalman filter. Furthermore, to eliminate the negative effects brought by the variation of noise statistical characteristics, a fuzzy-logic based regulator is introduced to adjust the weight coefficient adaptively. Finally, experiments are conducted to validate the efficiency of the filter.

6. Networked Predictive Control of Hammerstein Systems Tian-Tian Wang, Yu Kang, and Yun-Bo Zhao In Chin. Control Conf. 2014 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   This article mainly deals with the control and stability problems of networked Hammerstein with nonlinear input. A novel predictive controller design method is proposed to offset the effect of network delay and data dropout. The controller gain which depends on the time delay of the feedback channel is time-variant. Since we assume that the state is not measurable, the control signal is based on the state estimated by the observer. As for the nonlinear part of the input,We assume it satisfies a sector constraint and treat it as a input inaccuracy. Theoretical results are presented for the closed-loop stability by modeling the system as time-delay Hammerstein system with nonlinear inputs. A second-order Hammerstein system is implemented to show the enhanced performance of this control method.
