Fuzzy Unknown Input Observer for Estimating Sensor and Actuator Cyber‑Attacks in Intelligent Connected Vehicles

The detection and mitigation of cyber-attacks in connected vehicle systems(CVSs)are critical for ensuring the security of intelligent connected vehicles.This paper presents a solution to estimate sensor and actuator cyber-attacks in CVSs.A novel method is proposed that utilizes an augmented system representation technique and a nonlinear unknown input observer(UIO)to achieve asymptotic estimation of both CVS dynamics and cyber-attacks.The nonlinear CVS dynamics is represented in a Takagi–Sugeno(TS)fuzzy form with nonlinear consequents,which allows for the effective use of the differential mean value theorem to handle unmeasured premise variables.Furthermore,via Lyapunov stability theory sufficient conditions are proposed,expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities,to design TS fuzzy UIO.Several test scenarios are performed with high-fidelity Simulink-CarSim co-simulations to show the effectiveness of the proposed cyber-attack estimation method.

Robust state of charge and state of health estimation for batteries using a novel multi model approach

Estimation of state-of-charge and state-of-health for batteries is one of the most important feature for modern battery management system(BMS).Robust or adaptive methods are the most investigated because a more intelligent BMS could lead to sensible cost reduction of the entire battery system.We propose a new robust method,called ERMES(extendible range multi-model estimator),for determining an estimated state-of-charge(SoC),an estimated state-of-health(SoH)and a prediction of uncertainty of the estimates(state-of-uncertainty—SoU),thanks to which it is possible to monitor the validity of the estimates and adjust it,extending the robustness against a wider range of uncertainty,if necessary.Specifically,a finite number of models in state-space form are considered starting from a modified Thevenin battery model.Each model is characterized by a hypothesis of SoH value.An iterated extended Kalman filter(EKF)is then applied to each model in parallel,estimating for each one the SoC state variable.Residual errors are then considered to fuse both the estimated SoC and SoH from the bank of EKF,yielding the overall SoC and SoH estimates,respectively.In addition,a figure of uncertainty of such estimates is also provided.
