Voting algorithms in multiple error scenarios for real-time control applications (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Latif-Shabgahi, G., Bennett, S., & Bass, J. (2002). Voting algorithms in multiple error scenarios for real-time control applications. . https://doi.org/10.3182/20020721-6-ES-1901.00971

Voting algorithms are used to arbitrate between the variant results in fault tolerant systems. Traditional voters produce incorrect outputs in multiple error conditions. This paper introduces a class of voters, called predictor voters, which can reso... Read More about Voting algorithms in multiple error scenarios for real-time control applications.
