Observer design for networked control systems with FlexRay
International audienceWe design state observers for nonlinear networked control systems (NCS) implemented over FlexRay. FlexRay is a communication protocol used in the automotive industry, which has the feature to switch between two scheduling rules during its communication cycles. These switches induce technical difficulties when modeling, designing and analysing observers for such systems compared to standard NCS. We present a solution based on the emulation approach. Given an observer in the absence of communication constraints, we implement it over the network and we provide sufficient conditions on the latter, to preserve the stability property of the observer. In particular, we provide explicit bounds on the maximal allowable transmission intervals , which adapt to the lengths of the segment associated to each scheduling rule. We assume that the plant dynamics and measurements are affected by noise and we guarantee an input-to-state stability property for the corresponding estimation error system. The overall system is modeled as a hybrid system and the analysis relies on the use of a novel hybrid Lyapunov function

L-2 State Estimation With Guaranteed Convergence Speed in the Presence of Sporadic Measurements
This paper deals with the problem of estimating the state of a nonlinear time-invariant system in the presence of sporadically available measurements and external perturbations. An observer with a continuous intersample injection term is proposed. Such an intersample injection is provided by a linear dynamical system, whose state is reset to the measured output estimation error whenever a new measurement is available. The resulting system is augmented with a timer triggering the arrival of a new measurement and analyzed in a hybrid system framework. The design of the observer is performed to achieve exponential convergence with a given decay rate of the estimation error. Robustness with respect to external perturbations and L2-external stability from plant perturbations to a given performance output are considered. Computationally efficient algorithms based on the solution to linear matrix inequalities are proposed to design the observer. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methodology is shown in an example

A framework and methods for on-board network level fault diagnostics in automobiles
A significant number of electronic control units (ECUs) are nowadays networked
in automotive vehicles to help achieve advanced vehicle control and eliminate
bulky electrical wiring. This, however, inevitably leads to increased complexity in
vehicle fault diagnostics. Traditional off-board fault diagnostics and repair at
service centres, by using only diagnostic trouble codes logged by conventional onboard
diagnostics, can become unwieldy especially when dealing with intermittent
faults in complex networked electronic systems. This can result in inaccurate and
time consuming diagnostics due to lack of real-time fault information of the
interaction among ECUs in the network-wide perspective.
This thesis proposes a new framework for on-board knowledge-based
diagnostics focusing on network level faults, and presents an implementation of a
real-time in-vehicle network diagnostic system, using case-based reasoning. A
newly developed fault detection technique and the results from several practical
experiments with the diagnostic system using a network simulation tool, a
hardware- in-the- loop simulator, a disturbance simulator, simulated ECUs and real
ECUs networked on a test rig are also presented. The results show that the new
vehicle diagnostics scheme, based on the proposed new framework, can provide
more real-time network level diagnostic data, and more detailed and self-explanatory
diagnostic outcomes. This new system can provide increased diagnostic capability when compared with conventional diagnostic methods in
terms of detecting message communication faults. In particular, the underlying
incipient network problems that are ignored by the conventional on-board
diagnostics are picked up for thorough fault diagnostics and prognostics which can
be carried out by a whole-vehicle fault management system, contributing to the
further development of intelligent and fault-tolerant vehicles

Estudo do impacto de transientes elétricos em protocolos de comunicação em sistemas embarcados
O aumento da complexidade e responsabilidade dos dispositivos embarcados nos veículos hoje, tem orientado os esforços no desenvolvimento de sistemas de controle para que estes sejam mais rápidos, precisos, robustos e principamente seguros. Com isso, estes dispositivos estão levando os protocolos de comunicação a um patamar inédito de exigência, tanto no quesito de capacidade como confiabilidade. Protocolos como CAN, CAN-FD e FlexRay entre outros, tem sido utilizados devido às suas características de segurança e a capacidade de atender aos requisitos temporais dos diversos circuitos embarcados. O desenvolvimento e utilização cada vez mais frequente de dispositivos focados em segurança, fazem com que a comunicação entre os diversos componentes destes dispositivos seja exigida ao máximo, levando à necessidade de respostas confiáveis ao extremo. Sistemas como freios ABS, suspensão ativa, frenagem autonoma de emergência, controle de velocidade e distância adaptativo, entre outros, que envolvem várias ECUs distribuídas ao longo do veículo, dispões de frações de segundo para a reação do sistema, entre o sinal de entrada e a atuação correspondente, demandando uma comunicação segura e tolerante à falhas. Os veículos hoje estão passando por grandes mudanças conceituais, trazendo cada vez mais elementos onde o funcionamento demanda mais energia das fontes de alimentação. Diversos sistemas existentes nos veículos geram ruídos como os Transientes Elétricos Rápidos, ou "Electric Fast Transient" (EFT), que estão presentes nas mais simples operações cotidianas do veículo, como ligar e desligar o farol, o ar condicionado, o limpador de para brisas, ou mesmo o acionamento de iluminação diurna (DRL), etc. Neste trabalho foram realizados diversos ensaios, utilizando ECUs com diferentes funções e protocolos, para identificar a susceptibilidade dos referidos sistemas e os protocolos à presença destes ruídos. Visando atender às normas IEC 62228 e a ISO26262, este trabalho demandou o projeto e construção de dois circuitos eletrônicos diferentes, um circuito observando os dados de tempos de subida e de descida (rise and fall time) dos pulsos de EFT, e outro observando a arquitetura do layout da placa de circuito impresso (PCB), as suas entradas, saídas, componentes, etc. Estes ensaios visaram identificar o quanto estes protocolos são suscetíveis à estes tipos de ruídos, utilizando métricas de análise baseadas nos tempos de latência e variação de jitter dos pacotes de comunicação.The increasing complexity and accountability of embedded devices in vehicles today has driven efforts to develop control systems to make them faster, accuratest, safest, robustest. Thus, these devices are taking communication protocols to an unprecedented level of demand, both in terms of capacity and reliability. Protocols such as CAN, CANFD and FlexRay among others have been used due to their safety characteristics and the ability to meet the time requirements of various embedded circuits. The increasing development and use of safety-focused devices, means that communication between the various components of these devices is required to the utmost, leading to the need for extremely reliable responses. Systems such as ABS brakes, active suspension, autonomous emergency braking, adaptative cruise control, among others, which involve various ECUs distributed throughout the vehicle, have milliseconds for system reaction, between input signal and concrete actuation, requiring safe and failure tolerant communication. Vehicles today are undergoing major conceptual changes, bringing more and more elements whose operation require more energy from power supplies. These systems generate noise such as "Electric Fast Transient" (EFT), which are present in the simplest daily operations of the vehicle, such as turning the headlight on, the air conditioner, the windscreen wiper, or even the daytime running light (DRL), etc. In this work several tests were carried out, using different ECUs with different functions and different protocols to identify the susceptibility of these systems and the protocols to these noises. In order to comply with IEC 62228 and ISO 26262 standards, this work required the design and construction of two different electronic circuits, one circuit observing the rise and fall time data of the EFT pulses, and the other observing the architecture of the printed circuit board (PCB) layout, its inputs and outputs, components, etc. These tests aimed to identify how susceptible these protocols are to these types of noise, using analysis metrics based on latency time and jitter variation of communication packets
