Optimized type 2 fuzzy logic control for low-speed vehicle pedal pressing automation using hybrid spiral sine cosine algorithm by Azrul Azim, Abdullah Hashim, Nor Maniha, Abdul Ghani, Salmiah, Ahmad, Mohd Ruzaini, Hashim, Noor Zirwatul Ahlam, Naharuddin, Addie, Irawan

“…Physical modeling and simulation were done in Simscape MATLAB, which provides an opportunity for modeling and visual description of the actuator system's relationship with the dynamics of the car. The results presented in this paper prove the fact that the analyzed Type 2 FLC optimized by the SSCA method performs better than the traditional Type 1 FLC in terms of the key metrics, with improvements of 32.4242% in overshoot, 0.364 seconds in settling time, and a reduction of 0.002009 in steady-state error at 2 km/h reference speed. …”
