Control Strategies For 6-Dof Quadcopter Uavs: Cascade Pid Stabilization In White Noise Conditions, An Vo Van, Hung Ha Duy

Makara Journal of Technology

In this study, a cascade PID control structure is proposed and implemented for a 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to enhance stability and trajectory tracking capabilities under both noise and non-noise conditions. The controller was designed based on the Tyreus–Luyben tuning method and was evaluated using quantitative metrics, including rise time, settling time, overshoot, and steady-state error. Simulation results on MATLAB/Simulink show that the controller achieves high performance in angular channels (ϕ, θ, ψ) and altitude (z) with a short rise time (< 2s), slight overshoot (< 1%), and nearly eliminated steady-state error. However, the horizontal position channels (x, y) have a longer settling time (~110s) and are sensitive to white noise. Quantitative comparisons with other control methods show that the cascade PID outperforms the standard PID in terms of accuracy and stability, achieving a performance comparable to LQR under noise-free conditions, but is less robust in the presence of noise than advanced methods like SMC and MPC. These results confirm the feasibility of cascade PID in UAV applications and indicate potential future improvements by integrating nonlinear, adaptive, or intelligent control strategies.

Simulation-Based Assessment Of Operational Strategies For Visibility-Responsive Variable Speed Limits, Jiyeon Ban

Theses

Managing speed limits in adverse weather is crucial for highway safety. Variable Speed Limit systems aim to adjust speed limits according to weather conditions, yet many traffic management centers depend on manual operator judgment. Rapid visibility fluctuations, along with operators handling multiple responsibilities, can cause delays in responding to deteriorating conditions, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. A VSL control strategy is developed using real-time Road Weather Information System data to enable more proactive and effective adjustments. Microsimulation analysis indicates that visibility-responsive VSL operations can reduce conflicts by 59% in fog. Applying VSL only to fog-affected sections yields clear safety …

Gamesmanship In Civil Litigation, Edith Beerdsen

Georgia Law Review

In civil litigation, strategy is everywhere. Some of it is explicitly envisioned by rules of procedure, but other forms of strategy rely more on clever exploitation of gaps in the rules, sometimes through trickery, surprise, or psychological mind games. The role strategy plays in civil litigation is underexamined, which raises two concerns: first, this lack of attention entrenches strategy by default as a procedural value in competition with accuracy, efficiency, and other procedural values. Second, it amplifies the disadvantages experienced by unrepresented litigants. This Article builds on earlier work to examine how courts shape the space that litigants have for …

Gravitational Property Theory, Monika U. Ehrman

Georgia Law Review

Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein defined and redefined the field of physics. Their theoretical work on gravity is still considered a monumental discovery of their respective times. Although born centuries apart, the theory of gravity each advanced is still essential. Newton’s theory is applied on Earth and throughout much of the solar system, while Einstein’s theory is used in special environments, such as near black holes. Neither theory is discarded, but instead used where appropriate. Likewise, gravitational property theory proposes that simple property theory—the ad coelum doctrine—is still appropriate for simple property, like stationary or vertical objects. And complex property …

Modular Construction And The Building Blocks Of Litigation: Navigating The Legal Framework Between The Ucc And Common Law, Rilee White

Georgia Law Review

The development of modular construction has re-raised a question central to construction litigation: whether contracts are governed by Article 2 of the UCC, which controls transactions in goods, or the common law, which controls other transactions, including those for services. Because the modular construction process involves fabrication of units off-site, it complicates the distinction between goods and services—while the final product is the service of constructing a building, the individual modules could arguably be classified as goods.

Although courts have historically treated processes involving prefabrication as the sale of goods, modern modular projects are increasingly becoming more customizable and service-driven. …
