Lyapunov-Stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Control for Robust Anti-Lock Braking Under Uncertain Road Adhesion Conditions
Abstract: This paper proposes a Lyapunov-stable Adaptive Fractional-Order Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (FO-IT2FLC) for robust anti-lock braking system (ABS) control under nonlinear vehicle dynamics and uncertain road adhesion conditions. The proposed framework integrates fractional-order error dynamics to capture memory-dependent tire–road interaction, interval Type-2 fuzzy inference to model uncertainty via footprint-of-uncertainty representation, and a Lyapunov-based adaptive learning mechanism for real-time parameter tuning. A rigorous stability proof guarantees boundedness of all closed-loop …

Distancing From Statistical Hazards: A Pursuit Drivers Herald
Abstract: When the passive drivers meet with accidents, it seems painful. When miscreant drivers cause accidents one feels annoyed, and curses the nasty driver and also the system. Statistics promises help in at least one way- i.e. keeping the safe distance between the two vehicles. Statistically speaking, frequency/ probability of happening of accidents is inversely proportional to the distance. The distance forms a bell shape in normal stopping situations on the …

A Review of Smart Sensor-based Approaches for LPG Gas Leak Detection and Prevention
Abstract: In recent years, home fires have claimed a growing number of lives and pieces of property. Since it is very flammable, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) can burn even some distance away from the spill. Poor-quality rubber tubes or instances in which the regulator is not turned off are to blame for most fire incidents. Due to the regulator's malfunction, the hob is currently receiving gas from the regulator. Gas leaks …
