Generic information
Description
Systems and Control Laboratory (SCL) has been the leading research center in Mathematical Systems and Control Theory and related applications in Hungary for more than three decades. SCL pursues research in mathematical systems modeling, analysis and control of engineering systems represented by the classical and emerging technologies, as well as other, sometimes large-scale, dynamical systems, related to the field of natural sciences. The scope of activity includes forefront research in specific fields of mathematical systems theory, system identification, filtering and control, moreover, advanced signal and image processing techniques with special focus on application of systems' theory in safety critical systems.
Scope of activity
- Mathematical system and control theory
- System identification
- Nonlinear, robust and hybrid systems
- Advanced Vehicles and Vehicle Control
- Intelligent vehicles and transportation systems
- Vehicle and infrastructur ecommunication systems and technologies
- Control of autonomous land- and air-vehicles
- Fault detection and identification in large-scale industrial systems and technologies
- Fault tolerant control and architectures
- Measurement and signal processing methods
Achievements
- The extension of the results achieved for the geometrical description of linear time invariant systems to linear time varying (LTV) and/or state dependent varying parameter model structures (LPV and quasi-LPV systems) makes up a coherent strategy for further research of robust controllers. These results were successfully applied to indefinite geometries that facilitated the understanding of the role of Möbius transformation in analysis of various types of control theoretic problems.
- Research along the extension of rational orthogonal basis functions in signal processing towards hyperbolic wavelets opened the way to the development of novel parametric system identification methods, and also to the description of systems in indefinite metrics. This allows the construction of a new hyperbolic systems theory. The newly developed identification method lets to determine the unknown poles of the system in a revolutionary new way by extending the original frequency domain description of the system with time domain measurements.
- The research performed for intelligent vehicle and transportation systems has been structured by the distinguishing technologies applied to road- and air-vehicles.
- Regarding intelligent vehicle and transportation systems research, the integrated solution to combined braking and steering control solutions of cars and heavy vehicles, the advanced sensor fusion and control over network methods, the fail-safe design of on board vehicle control systems, the cooperative control and advanced drivers assistance systems (ADAS) are mentioned as the most important achievements (project TRUCKDAS).
- The basic objective of the new cooperative vehicle and traffic control methods is to enhance safety and efficiency of transportation of goods and passangers while keeping the environmental footprint of the road transportation on a minimum level.
- The recognition that the driver is inherent part of the control loop of every man controlled vehicles, the specific control method has been developed and tested that considers a human behaviour model in the algorithm.
- A successful communication system demonstration that was part of the official demo program of World Congress of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in Vienna made the benefits of the use and integration of the most recent wireless communication technologies, clearly visible. The communication scenarios developed for this demonstration was realistic and fully compliant with use of the IPv6 communication protocol and other advanced mobility technologies applicable both in the vehicle and the roadside infrastructure. A deployment view of the ISO/ETSI ITS Station Reference Communications Architecture was presented. The scenario focused on the implementation of Roadside and Vehicle communication stations, with a multitude of communication links (i.e., sensor access, 3G, 802.11p, WiFi) based on native point-to-point IPv6 data transfer. The presentation of the integration of low-power road sensors in the standardized architecture concept was one of the main objective of demo highlights.
- Research in the field of Aerospace Guidance, Navigation and Control yielded many new exciting results. In the framework of the ADDSAFE FP 7 project the detection filter developed by the institute staff was found one of the best performing algorithm for detection and identification of specific actuator faults accuring in commercial aircraft structures. The algorithms have been succesfully validated on test facilities of Airbus.
- Research of electromechanical actuators commercialized mainly by the air industry revealed new problems and provided novel results. The development of the small, electromechanical actuator subjected to the application in the control system of autonomous air vehicles was carried out, successfully. In collaboration with UTC Aerospace new mathematical models and controller algorithms for use in commercial aircrafts were developed in the frame of the ACTUATION 2015 FP7 project.
- The laboratory tests of a small sized, dependable avionic system controller for use in unmanned air vehicles approved usability of the hardware. Flight tests of the controller are projected for the first part of 2013. The avionic system will help deployment and integration of small sized robotized aircrafts in the National airspace based on its unique sense-and-avoid machine vision based technology in an attempt to safely separate flying objects of a variety of flight licenses, in the common airspace. The vision-based avionic system is capable to identify airplane patterns over cloudy backgrounds on a variety of cloud structures. As a consequence, the small-unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are now capable to fly over a prescribed flight trajectory, autonomously, relying on their onboard navigation systems, solely.
- The research supported by the Office of Naval Research of the US (ONR) subjects advanced trajectory estimation and collision avoidance methods based on real time simulation and processing of sensory data. The hardware in the loop (HIL) validation of the navigation system, including the image processing and decision making functionality of the system have been succesfully demonstrated in presence of the delegate of US Air Forces and ONR.
- Principal end users of the results of systems and control theory are from the energy-, and the vehicle and transportation industries. There have been a number of important projects, performed both in national and international horizons, whose main objective was the industrialization and analysis of practical applicability of the developed theories. There have been research and development projects (ADDSAFE-FP7, TRUCKDAS-NFÜ), carried out in close cooperation with Airbus, Bosch and Knorr-Bremse. As a direct consequence of industrial co-operation, there appeared results in the field of the design of fault tolerant vehicle on-board control systems, and in coordinated control and supervision of platoon systems for commercial road-vehicles. The integrated control of braking and steering systems together with new algorithms for intelligent unmanned vehicle control and sensor fusion solutions got new approaches in the applied research.
