Abstract

Usually, vehicle applications need to use artificial intelligence techniques to implement control strategies able to deal with the noise in the signals provided by sensors, or with the impossibility of having full knowledge of the dynamics of a vehicle (engine state, wheel pressure, or occupants' weight). This work presents a cruise control system which is able to manage the pedals of a vehicle at low speeds. In this context, small changes in the vehicle or road conditions can occur unpredictably. To solve this problem, a method is proposed to allow the on-line evolution of a zero-order TSK fuzzy controller to adapt its behaviour to uncertain road or vehicle dynamics. Starting from a very simple or even empty configuration, the consequents of the rules are adapted in real time, while the membership functions used to codify the input variables are modified after a certain period of time. Extensive experimentation in both simulated and real vehicles showed the method to be both fast and precise, even when compared with a human driver. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-27:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 48.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 48 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:
