Trajectory control of vehicles during a tyre blowout: A simulation study
In this paper, the experiment of trajectory control of vehicle during a tyre blowout is carried out. Firstly, the evaluation criteria of motion vehicles during a tyre blowout are determined. Then, motion vehicle with a static PID controller in highway is discussed. Simulation results show that the static PID controller determined at a certain speed is not fit for the other speed as well. Instead, a gain scheduling PID controller is adopted to handle the trajectory control problem of vehicles during a tyre blowout, where parameters of the gain-scheduling PID controller are calibrated with the varying speed. It shows that the vehicle can avoid yawing as well as keep the driving stability during the tyre blowout, and drive back to the original path after a small offset.
Active rectifying control of vehicle with tire blowout based on adaptive fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative control
To avoid casualties and economic loss caused by vehicle yawing motion during the tire blowout, first, by changing several key parameters of the characteristics, this article uses CarSim software and MATLAB/Simulink to establish a vehicle model of tire blowout based on the UniTire model. This model is implemented to simulate tire blowout caused by the change of the vehicle motion state. Second, considering the driver error and radical-operated steering wheel after tire blowout leads to runaway car problems. This article takes the target trajectory and actual trajectory of error and error rate as the system input; an adaptive fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative controller is designed to determine the vehicle steering wheel angle during the tire blowout and replace the driver to control the direction of the vehicle. The results indicate that the designed controller is capable of ensuring the vehicle constancy and keeping the vehicle on the original track.
A survey of aquaculture production economics and management
Abstract The literature on production economics and management of fish culture has grown as aquaculture has matured as a commercial industry. Salmon, catfish, shrimp and trout are the focus of this literature survey as a reflection of the volume of research that has been completed on these species and their importance in US production and world trade. In addition, a discussion of low resource production systems is included that is dominated by tilapia and carp culture systems. A brief overview of the principles of aquaculture production economics and management is presented followed by a review of economic studies.
