Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, much research has been carried out on fault tolerant control (FTC) and fault detection and isolation (FDI) dealing with theoretical aspects and for a broad range of applications, such as in unmanned aerial vehicles, satellites, airplanes, automobile, etc. This is because FDI and FTC in automotive testing is primarily driven by improving reliability and fault tolerance capability. Recent developments confirm that there are still areas of research to be explored within the FTC/FDI approaches, and computational complexities as well as implementation.

Given the importance of fault tolerant control techniques for such practical applications, this Special Issue is dedicated to presenting new research findings on fault tolerant control and fault detection and isolation with automotive control applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to focus on new and emerging trends in FDD/FTC with automotive control applications, clearly demonstrating the progress made. Thus, the expected articles should bring new ideas and approaches to automotive control systems, along with applications.

In this paper, an observer-based robust fault-tolerant predictive control (ORFTPC) strategy is proposed for Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems subject to input constraints and sensor failures. The main objective of this work is to establish a real observer based on a virtual observer to be used to estimate both states and sensor failures of the system. The proposed virtual observer is employed to improve the observation precision and reduce the impacts of the sensor faults and the external disturbances in the LPV systems. In addition, a real observer is proposed to overcome the virtual observer margins and to ensure that all states and sensor faults of the system are properly estimated, without the need for any fault isolation modules. The proposed solution demonstrates that, using both observers, a robust fault-tolerant predictive control is established via the Lyapunov function. Moreover, sufficient stability conditions are derived using the Lyapunov approach for the convergence of the proposed robust controller. Furthermore, the proposed approach simultaneously computes the gains of the real observer and the controller from a linear matrix inequality (LMI), which is deduced from the estimation errors. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is investigated by a simulation example of a quarter-vehicle model, and the simulation results under a sensor fault illustrate the robustness and performance of the proposed method.
