automatic following control
1Automatic Train Control — Japanese style ATC indicator. Automatic Train Control (ATC) is a train protection system for railways, ensuring the safe and smooth operation of trains on ATC enabled lines. Its main advantages include making possible the use of cab signalling… …
2Automatic Block Signal — Basic Automatic Block Signals = Automatic Block Signal, or ABS, systems consist of a series of signals that govern blocks of track between the signals. The signals are automatically activated by the conditions of the block beyond the signal.… …
3Automatic summarization — is the creation of a shortened version of a text by a computer program. The product of this procedure still contains the most important points of the original text. The phenomenon of information overload has meant that access to coherent and… …
4Control reconfiguration — is an active approach in control theory to achieve fault tolerant control for dynamic systems [1]. It is used when severe faults, such as actuator or sensor outages, cause a break up of the control loop, which must be restructured to prevent… …
5Automatic parallelization — Automatic parallelization, also auto parallelization, autoparallelization, parallelization, or //ization (shorthand), the last two of which imply automation when used in context, refers to converting sequential code into multi threaded or… …
6Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast — (ADS B) is a cooperative surveillance technique for air traffic control and related applications. An ADS B out equipped aircraft determines its own position using a global navigation satellite system and periodically broadcasts this position and… …
7Automatic Train Protection — (ATP) in Great Britain refers to either of two implementations of a train protection system installed in some trains in order to help prevent collisions through a driver s failure to observe a signal or speed restriction. Note that ATP can also… …
8Automatic transmission — An automatic transmission (commonly AT or Auto ) is an automobile gearbox that can change gear ratios automatically as the vehicle moves, freeing the driver from having to shift gears manually. Similar but larger devices are also used for heavy… …
9Automatic number plate recognition — The system must be able to deal with different styles of license plates …
10control system — Means by which a set of variable quantities is held constant or caused to vary in a prescribed way. Control systems are intimately related to the concept of automation but have an ancient history. Roman engineers maintained water levels in… …
