As noted before, transportation is a broad area where sensors have numerous applications. In ground transportation in particular, automobiles, trains, and automated transit systems use airbag deployment systems, antilock braking systems (ABS), cruise control systems, active suspension systems, and various devices for monitoring, toll collection, navigation, warning, and control in intelligent vehicular highway systems. All these devices use sensors and sensor systems. In air transportation, modern aircraft designs with advanced materials, structures, electronics, and control benefit from sophisticated sensors.
5 (a) A natural gas home heating system. (b) A block diagram representation of the system. w1, water flow rate; w2, temperature of cold water into furnace; w3, temperature outside the room. computers have to be fast and dedicated machines for real-time operations where processing has to be synchronized with plant operation and actuation requirements. This requires a real-time operating system. Apart from these requirements, control computers are basically not different from general-purpose digital computers.
A set of six gauge pressure transducers is installed to measure the fluid pressure in the head and rod sides of each hydraulic cylinder and also in the supply lines. A high-level imaging system determines the cutting quality, according to which adjustments are made online, to the operating conditions of the machine and the parameters of the control system to improve the process performance. The control system has a hierarchical structure with conventional direct control at the component level (low level) and an intelligent monitoring and supervisory control system at an upper level.
