Download or read book Robust Estimation of Dynamics Behavior and Driving Diagnosis Applied to an Intelligent MAGV written by Angel Gabriel Alatorre Vazquez and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The context of this thesis is the improvement of road safety through the development of active safety systems. One challenge in the development of active safety systems is obtaining accurate information about unmeasurable vehicle dynamic states. Specifically, the necessity to estimate the vertical load, frictional forces at each wheel (longitudinal and lateral), and also the sideslip angle at the center of gravity. These states are the critical parameters for optimizing the control of a vehicle's stability. If the vertical load on each tire can be estimated, then the risk of rollover can be evaluated. Estimating tire lateral forces can help to reduce lateral slip and prevent dangerous situations like spinning and drifting out the road. Tire longitudinal forces influence the performance of a vehicle. Sideslip angle is one of the essential parameters for controlling the lateral dynamics of a vehicle. However, the different technologies that the market offers, are not based on tire-ground forces due to the lack of cost-effective methods for obtaining the required information. For the above mentioned reasons, we want to develop a system that monitors these dynamic vehicle states using only low-cost sensors. To accomplish our endeavor, we propose developing novel observers to estimate unmeasured states. Constructing an observer that met the reliability, robustness and accuracy requirements is not an easy task. It requires one the one hand, accurate and efficient models, and on the other hand, robust estimation algorithms that take into account variations in parameters and measurement errors. The present thesis has consequently been structured around the following two aspects: modeling of vehicle dynamics, and design of observers. Under the heading of modeling, we propose new models to describe vehicle dynamics. Current models simplify the vehicle motion as a planar motion. In our proposal, our models describe vehicle motion as a 3D motion, including the effects of road inclination. Regarding vertical dynamics, we propose incorporating the suspension deflection to calculate the transfer of vertical load. Regarding lateral dynamics, we propose a model for the lateral forces transfer to describe the interaction between the left wheel and the right wheel. With this relationship, the lateral force on each tire is computed without using the sideslip angle. Similarly, for longitudinal dynamics, we also propose a model for the transfer of longitudinal forces to calculate the longitudinal force at each tire. Under the heading of observer design, we propose a novel observation system consisting of four individual observers connected in cascade. The four observers are developed for estimating vertical tire force, lateral tire force, longitudinal tire force, and sideslip angle, respectively. For the linear system, the Kalman filter is employed, while for the nonlinear system, the EKF applied to reduce estimation errors. Finally, we implement our algorithm in an experimental vehicle to perform estimation in real-time, and we validate our proposed algorithm using experimental data.
Download or read book Interpretable Machine Learning written by Christoph Molnar and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about making machine learning models and their decisions interpretable. After exploring the concepts of interpretability, you will learn about simple, interpretable models such as decision trees, decision rules and linear regression. Later chapters focus on general model-agnostic methods for interpreting black box models like feature importance and accumulated local effects and explaining individual predictions with Shapley values and LIME. All interpretation methods are explained in depth and discussed critically. How do they work under the hood? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How can their outputs be interpreted? This book will enable you to select and correctly apply the interpretation method that is most suitable for your machine learning project.
Download or read book Vehicle Dynamics and Control written by Rajesh Rajamani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vehicle Dynamics and Control provides a comprehensive coverage of vehicle control systems and the dynamic models used in the development of these control systems. The control system applications covered in the book include cruise control, adaptive cruise control, ABS, automated lane keeping, automated highway systems, yaw stability control, engine control, passive, active and semi-active suspensions, tire-road friction coefficient estimation, rollover prevention, and hybrid electric vehicles. In developing the dynamic model for each application, an effort is made to both keep the model simple enough for control system design but at the same time rich enough to capture the essential features of the dynamics. A special effort has been made to explain the several different tire models commonly used in literature and to interpret them physically. In the second edition of the book, chapters on roll dynamics, rollover prevention and hybrid electric vehicles have been added, and the chapter on electronic stability control has been enhanced. The use of feedback control systems on automobiles is growing rapidly. This book is intended to serve as a useful resource to researchers who work on the development of such control systems, both in the automotive industry and at universities. The book can also serve as a textbook for a graduate level course on Vehicle Dynamics and Control.
Download or read book Algorithms for Reinforcement Learning written by Csaba Grossi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinforcement learning is a learning paradigm concerned with learning to control a system so as to maximize a numerical performance measure that expresses a long-term objective. What distinguishes reinforcement learning from supervised learning is that only partial feedback is given to the learner about the learner's predictions. Further, the predictions may have long term effects through influencing the future state of the controlled system. Thus, time plays a special role. The goal in reinforcement learning is to develop efficient learning algorithms, as well as to understand the algorithms' merits and limitations. Reinforcement learning is of great interest because of the large number of practical applications that it can be used to address, ranging from problems in artificial intelligence to operations research or control engineering. In this book, we focus on those algorithms of reinforcement learning that build on the powerful theory of dynamic programming. We give a fairly comprehensive catalog of learning problems, describe the core ideas, note a large number of state of the art algorithms, followed by the discussion of their theoretical properties and limitations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Predictive Modeling covers the overall predictive modeling process, beginning with the crucial steps of data preprocessing, data splitting and foundations of model tuning. The text then provides intuitive explanations of numerous common and modern regression and classification techniques, always with an emphasis on illustrating and solving real data problems. The text illustrates all parts of the modeling process through many hands-on, real-life examples, and every chapter contains extensive R code for each step of the process. This multi-purpose text can be used as an introduction to predictive models and the overall modeling process, a practitioner’s reference handbook, or as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate level predictive modeling courses. To that end, each chapter contains problem sets to help solidify the covered concepts and uses data available in the book’s R package. This text is intended for a broad audience as both an introduction to predictive models as well as a guide to applying them. Non-mathematical readers will appreciate the intuitive explanations of the techniques while an emphasis on problem-solving with real data across a wide variety of applications will aid practitioners who wish to extend their expertise. Readers should have knowledge of basic statistical ideas, such as correlation and linear regression analysis. While the text is biased against complex equations, a mathematical background is needed for advanced topics.
