Localization Based on Magnetic Markers for an All-Wheel Steering Vehicle.

Real-time continuous localization is a key technology in the development of intelligent transportation systems. In these systems, it is very important to have accurate information about the position and heading angle of the vehicle at all times. The most widely implemented methods for positioning are the global positioning system (GPS), vision-based system, and magnetic marker system.

Fixed, low-order controller design with time response specifications using non-convex optimization.

In this paper, we present a new algorithm for designing a fixed, low-order controller with time response specifications for a linear time invariant (LTI), single input single output (SISO) plant. For a two-parameter feedback configuration, the problem of finding a fixed or low-order controller to meet the desired time response specification is reduced to the least square estimation (LSE) in the sense of partial model matching (PMM), which minimizes a quadratic cost function. The closed-loop stability condition imposed on the controller parameters is formulated by the polynomial matrix inequality (PMI) constraint associated with the cost function.
