Title 1: Study on Aircraft Guidance and Dynamics Control System

Among the various fields of research oriented towards the development of aerospace engineering, the area of flight guidance and control as well as flight management of manned and unmanned systems is particularly challenging and practically relevant. Modern flight systems become more and more complex in order to fulfill the growing requirements for safety, performance and autonomy in order to comply military and commercial customers’ needs. The research field of trajectory generation deals with the online calculation of a flight path parameterization. This includes the trajectory parameters itself and the relative kinematics between aircraft and trajectory. The objective is a parameterization down to the second order. There exist different approaches to achieve this task, but the research focus in this field lies on application driven systems.

Title 2: Study on High Speed Rail Train Dynamics and Traffic Control System

A High Speed Rail (HSR) transportation system consists of many intricate aspects such as civil engineering, construction, building, electrical and mechanical systems and software. During the operation of a train, the vehicle dynamics are quite complicated, involving such as starting, traction, coasting, speeding, braking, and stopping, not to mention the complex states under different loading and weather conditions. Therefore, accurately modeling the train dynamics is by no means an easy task.

Title 3: Study on Hybrid Electric Vehicle on Dynamics and Control system Perspective

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are powered by an internal combustion engine or other propulsion source that can run on conventional or alternative fuel in combination with an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery. HEVs combine the benefits of high fuel economy and low tail pipe emissions with the power and range of conventional vehicles. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot plug in to off-board sources of electricity to charge the battery. Instead, the vehicle uses regenerative braking and the internal combustion engine to charge. The vehicle captures energy normally lost during braking by using the electric motor as a generator and storing the captured energy in the battery. The energy from the battery provides extra power during acceleration.

Title 4: Study on Internet of Thing towards Vehicle to Things Application

Few would argue with the statement that the world we live in is becoming increasingly communication and connectivity-centric. The 21st Century began with the general adoption of text messages and email, and in 2017 we are witnessing the global adoption of connected devices around our homes and workplaces. When we turn our attention to the automobile industry, it is not hard to see the number of advantages drivers, passengers, travelers, manufacturers and services could gain from a connected future. For the car user, very soon the experience of driving and being a passenger in a car will precede the make, model or appearance of a vehicle. Ideally, though, both physical and digital developments will work together to create the ultimate, not to mention safest, driving experience.

Title 5: Study on Unnamed Aerial Vehicle on Mapping Approach

In this day and age of advanced technological advancements and cut-throat competition, curiosity and survival instinct is the mother of all inventions. A UAV or an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a miniature pilot less aircraft, which is either controlled by a remote or an app and uses aerodynamic forces to navigate and perform desired functions. They are used to carry small payloads, perform delivery and minor services, carry video and static cameras for photography and videography, and perform commercial and military inspections and operations. They can serve as a platform on which different applications, software, and business models can be built. Indeed, everything from drone mapping software to flight planning software, drone insurance, and marketplaces for people to find drone pilots has emerged.

Title 6: Point to Point Motion System Application through Robust Controller

The precision positioning systems along electromechanical drives, sensor, and a controller are broadly employed in many industrial machines applications; an example semiconductor systems, computer numerical robot systems and control machining. There are particular devices of mechanical tools in multi-mass systems that particularly contains low natural frequency of vibrations which is also known as resonant frequency. Due to this characteristics, the limited amplitude but small elastic deflection of gears and rotating shaft might get enlarge. The nonlinearities, i.e. friction, occur in all mechanical systems and saturation which usually become root cause for actuators in all devices having comparative motion. As a result, the motion in the mechanism will interrupt then it will lead to the steady state error and make the system to be unstable. There are many approaches that have been demonstrated costly in order to improve the mechanism elements for precise and great positioning achievement.
