Speed Fuzzy Control Applied to Autonomous Electric Vehicles
Authors: , ,
Abstract: A cruise control system for autonomous electric vehicles (AEVs) is presented, based on fuzzy logic. The proposed technique uses three fuzzy systems that act in parallel during three kinetic states of the vehicle: acceleration, moving, and braking. Validation of the procedure used longitudinal simulations of a vehicle powered by a permanent magnet direct current motor. The results indicated that the control system performed satisfactorily, and could be used in AEV applications.
