Abstract

The majority of technological processes include dynamic systems, which are characterized by structural and parameter uncertainty. Conventional control procedures based on such models are unlikely to produce the desired performance since deterministic models cannot appropriately characterize these uncertainties. When dealing with complex nonlinear systems that are characterized by ill-defined and unknown elements, fuzzy-logic based system is an effective method. Fuzzy controllers—whose rule basis is built on the expertise of human experts—are frequently utilized in this context to achieve desired performance. This knowledge might not be adequate for some complex processes, thus different methods for creating IF-THEN rules have been suggested. In this paper, the design of higher-order fuzzy sets is discussed and a generalized novel algorithm is developed for implementing type-n fuzzy sets and it is applied for controlling the angle of steering for a vehicle in such a way that the vehicle tracks the desired path. In the proposed methodology, fuzzification and defuzzification are taking place n number of times, and defuzzification of higher order fuzzy values up to type-1 fuzzy set is performed using the center of gravity method. The obtained type-1 fuzzy values are used in the rule base and inference mechanism for calculating the final crisp output. The significance of the present research is that the computation cost is not as high as expected because both fuzzification and defuzzification processes are recursive and the reduced new type-1 fuzzy values have the additional ability to model the uncertainty and vagueness as compared to normal type-1 fuzzy values. A comparison of the controllers based on the type of fuzzy sets is done based on the square of error (SE). Both the disturbance signal and uncertainty scenarios were also considered. The use of higher-order fuzzy sets facilitates the controller to give the more accurate results for controlling the vehicle and the corresponding simulation results suggest the same.
