Abstract Traffic state estimation represents one of the important ingredients for traffic prediction and forecasting. The work presented in this paper deals with the estimation of traffic state variables (density and speed), using the so called Super- Twisting Sliding Mode Observer (STSM). Several numerical simulations, using simulated and real data, show the relevance of the proposed approach. In addition, a comparative study with the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is carried-out. The comparison indices concern convergence and stability, dynamic performance and robustness. The design of the two observers is achieved using a nonlinear second order traffic flow model in the same highway traffic and geometric conditions.

The large modeling uncertainties and the nonlinearities associated with air manifold and fuel injection in spark ignition (SI) engines has given rise to difficulties in the task of designing an adequate controller for air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) control. Although sliding mode control approaches has been suggested, the inescapable time-delay between control action and measurement update results in chattering. This paper proposes the implementation of a nonlinear observer based control scheme incorporating the hybrid extended Kalman filter (HEKF) and the dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC). The results established upon the proposed methodology are given which demonstrate superior performance in terms of reducing the chattering magnitude.
