Linear Parameter-Varying Control: Theory and Application to Automotive Systems

An authoritative new exploration of the latest theoretical and applied advances in Linear Parameter-Varying systems

In Linear Parameter-Varying Control: Theory and Application to Automotive Systems, distinguished researcher Dr. Olivier Sename delivers a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the theoretical aspects and real applications of Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) control, with a strong focus on systems theory and in real automotive systems. The author covers the primary methods used to model, control, and analyze LPV systems, and illustrates how to model those systems using examples.

This book covers developing adaptive LPV control using the provided recipes as guides and contextual aids as well as discovering effective methods to design LPV controllers that have already been validated through real applications.

Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to vehicle dynamics control in automated vehicles, as well as suspension control
• Comprehensive explorations of LPV systems modelling, including dynamical systems
• Practical discussions of the properties of LPV systems, including controllability, observability, and stability
• Complete treatments of LPV systems control, including state feedback control and dynamic output feedback LPV control

Perfect for researchers and students with an interest in vehicle dynamics, Linear Parameter-Varying Control will also benefit postgraduate and PhD students, control engineers, and academics teaching control theory and applications courses.

Olivier Sename, PhD, is a full Professor at Grenoble INP. His main research focus is on Linear Parameter-Varying systems with automotive applications. He has authored or co-authored four books, around 100 international journal papers, more than 280 international conference papers and 6 patents.
