  2. 16. Design Principles of Fly-By-Wire Architectures

    Author : Kristina Forsberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; replica consistency; redundancy management; fault tolerance; flight control systems; reliable inter-node communication; distributed control; systems design;

    Abstract : Development of embedded real-time systems is highly specialized and time consuming. For instance, Control-By-Wire Systems will continue to face increased requirements on flexibility, scalability, low weight, predictability and testability, at reduced complexity and maintenance costs.

  4. 17. On Integrity Monitoring of Integrated Navigation Systems

    Author : Jan Palmqvist; Fredrik Gustafsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In civil aviation a new philosophy for flight safety and traffic management is under development. The goal is to enable an expected increase in air traffic density by reducing aircraft separation. The accuracy of the position estimate determined by the navigation system in each aircraft determines this separation. READ MORE

  5. 18. Statistical Sensor Calibration Algorithms

    Author : Anas Alhashimi; Thomas Gustafsson; Damiano Varagnolo; Johan Sjöberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

    Abstract : The use of sensors is ubiquitous in our IT-based society; smartphones, consumer electronics, wearable devices, healthcare systems, industries, and autonomous cars, to name but a few, rely on quantitative measurements for their operations. Measurements require sensors, but sensor readings are corrupted not only by noise but also, in almost all cases, by deviations resulting from the fact that the characteristics of the sensors typically deviate from their ideal characteristics.

  6. 19. Augmenting L1 Adaptive Control of Piecewise Constant Type to Aerial Vehicles

    Author : Anders Pettersson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In aerial vehicle control design, the industrial baseline is to use robust control methods together with gain-scheduling to cover the full airspeed and altitude flight envelope. An adaptive controller could possibly add value by increasing performance while keeping robustness to deviation from nominal assumptions. READ MORE

  7. 20. Creating Safety in Air Traffic Control

    Author : Johan M. Sanne; Boel Berner; Jane Summerton; Dave Randall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Risk; safety; air traffic control; ethnography; schemes; rules; resources; cognitive; social; interaction; coordination; socio-technical systems; Social anthropology ethnography; Socialantrolopologi etnografi;

    Abstract : Is flying safe? Indeed it is -- statistics tell us that it is far more dangerous to drive a car or take the train. But flight safety does not just happen. Instead, as it is argued in this book, it is created by a well-developed air traffic control system that continues to be highly effective -- despite increasing volumes of traffic. READ MORE
