  • Abstract
    The performance of an networked control system (NCS) is affected directly and indirectly by transmission time delays and data losses in the communications network. This paper presents the modelling of main problems of a communications network in an NCS, and the study of their effects on the longitudinal (velocity) and lateral (guidance) control of an autonomous guide vehicle (AGV). The results are compared to the embedded control system (ECS) case considered as reference for performances.
