Extended-State-Observer-Based Double-Loop Integral Sliding-Mode Control of Electronic Throttle Valve

An extended-state-observer-based double-loop integral sliding-mode controller for electronic throttle (ET) is proposed by factoring the gear backlash torque and external disturbance to circumvent the parametric uncertainties and nonlinearities. The extended state observer is designed based on a nonlinear model of ET to estimate the change of throttle opening angle and total disturbance. A double-loop integral sliding-mode controller consisting of an inner loop and an outer loop is presented based on the opening angle and opening angle change errors of ET through Lyapunov stability theory. Numerical experiments are conducted using simulation. The results show that the accuracy and the response time of the proposed controller are better than those of the back-stepping and sliding mode control.

Extended State Observer Based Adaptive Back-Stepping Sliding Mode Control of Electronic Throttle in Transportation Cyber-Physical Systems

Considering the high accuracy requirement of information exchange via vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, an extended state observer (ESO) is designed to estimate the opening angle change of an electronic throttle (ET), wherein the emphasis is placed on the nonlinear uncertainties of stick-slip friction and spring in the system as well as the existence of external disturbance. In addition, a back-stepping sliding mode controller incorporating an adaptive control law is presented, and the stability and robustness of the system are analyzed using Lyapunov technique. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted using simulation. The results show that, compared with back-stepping control (BSC), the proposed controller achieves superior performance in terms of the steady-state error and rising time.
