The Impact Of Automatic Control On Recent Developments In Transportation And Vehicle Systems
Throughout the field of transportation and vehicle systems control is
gaining importance. This report focuses on the current key problems
engineers in this field are facing and highlights some major recent
accomplishments. The driving forces behind the increasing use of
control are the rising need for transportation services and the demand
for a higher safety level. While each domain takes specific approach
to deal with these demands, a general trend towards automatic
co-pilots or even autopilots is visible. In the automotive domain,
this is aided by the design of drive by wire systems. In other fields
like marine or aerospace systems, the focus of research is on the
swarming behavior of multiple vessels. New sensors and networking will
also enable more efficient traffic flow control which will allow for a
better use of the resource network capacity. Another trend in the
vehicle systems sector is the modeling of nonlinear system behavior
which is starting to replace look-up tables in real time systems. A
forecast on future trends is given at the end of the report.
