The number of control systems connected by local or global communication networks is increasing. In this type of system, the effects of time-varying network-induced delays and data losses are major drawbacks, and in order to achieve an efficient closed-loop system performance, a simple and feasible strategy compensates for these undesirable effects based on the characterization of the experimental network by using real traffic measurements. This paper aims to control a platform called Smart Wheel through Internet by applying this compensation strategy to three different controllers, of fractional and integer orders, based on the previous analysis of the Internet link. Experimental and simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies and the advantages of the Internet link modeling.
