"Survey of Advanced Suspension Developments and Related Optimal Control
Applications", D.Hrovat, Automatica, Vol.33, No.10, pp.1781-1817, 1997.
A comprehensive survey paper covering work on the active suspension problem,
covering simple quarter-car, half-car and full-car models. The application of
optimal control to these are systems are covered, as are related subjects such
as, semi-active suspension and the use of robust, adaptive and non-linear
controllers.
"Using Simulink and Stateflow in Automotive Applications", Mathworks Technical Note.
Describes Simulink models for an engine, anti-lock brake system, clutch system,
suspension system and hydraulic system. Enhancements to these models using Stateflow
are also presented, giving Fault-tolerant Fuel Control System, Automatic Transmission
Control, Electrohydraulic Servo Control and Modeling Stick-Slip Friction.
"On-line PID Tuning for Engine idle-speed control using continuous action
reinforcement learning automata", M.Howel and M.Best, Journal of Control
Engineering Practice, Vol 8, 2000. On-line tuningof PID gains to minimise
a performance objective first applied to simulation model and then a practical
study using a Ford Zetec engine test cell.
