Development of Steering Control Algorithms with Self-tuning Fuzzy PID for All-terrain Cranes

The study deals with the design of control algorithms to enhance the steering performance of all-terrain cranes. For this, its hydraulic steering system was modeled using a multiphysics simulation tool and the self-tuning fuzzy PID controller was developed to control hydraulic steering actuators with nonlinearities. The designed control algorithm was validated through co-simulation using a real-time simulator and showed satisfactory performance.
