In this report, a preliminary design of a health monitoring system for automated vehicles is developed and results of tests in a high-fidelity nonlinear simulation are reported. Two car models are described: low- dimensional linear models for fault detection filter design and high fidelity...

In this dissertation, the problem of fault tolerant control of automobiles is addressed. The three main problems handled in the dissertation are tire burst, sensor fault detection and slip angle control. The tire burst and sensor faults are important failure modes for automated highways, whereas...

The aim of this report is to study issues concerning fault detection and identification in vehicle follower control. The report discusses various potential fault modes among sensors, and actuators used in the vehicle following experiments in cars. It deals with issues of fault detection of...

In this study, the authors propose a hierarchical control architecture for dealing with faults and adverse environmental conditions on an Automated Highway System (AHS). The faults are classified according to the capabilities remaining on the vehicle or roadside after the fault has occurred....
