CROTALE - Commande multivariable RObuste et Tolérante aux fautes pour l'AutomobiLE

Project Coordinator : Olivier SENAME

Project realized thanks to the support of : CNRS - PICS

Start date : 2010/01/01

Duration : 36 mounths

This project aims at providing new control methodologies, by equipping cars and heavy vehicles with automatic functions for detection and control of the vehicle dynamical behaviour in case of critical situations. Indeed, despite many papers on the subject, few studies propose a global approach, mixing modelling, observation and control aspects, which are, in general, tackled separately.

The core of the project is the use of the robust control approach for Linear Parameter Varying systems (including switching systems), allowing for handling the effects of uncertainties which characterize the lack of knowledge of some phenomena, the limit of validity of the models, and the measurement errors.

GIPSA-lab will be responsible of modelling for simulation, robust and fault tolerant control development for vehicle dynamics. MTA-SZTAKI will be responsible for LPV modelling for the observation of critical situations and corresponding fault tolerant control.
