The feedback control strategy of the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy car-following model with two delays (Q328393)

Summary: Considering the driver's sensing the headway and velocity the different time-varying delays exist, respectively, and the sensitivity of drivers changes with headway and speed. Introducing the fuzzy control theory, a new fuzzy car-following model with two delays is presented, and the feedback control strategy of the new fuzzy car-following model is studied. Based on the Lyapunov function theory and Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) approach, a sufficient condition is given that there a fuzzy controller exists making the closed-loop system asymptotically stable in order that traffic congestion phenomenon can effectively be suppressed, and the controller gain matrix can be obtained via solving linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the simulation examples verify that the method which suppresses traffic congestion and reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions is effective.
