In existing event-triggered sliding mode control (ETSMC) for switched systems, triggering or switching behavior usually causes the system states to deviate from the sliding surface, which may affect both stability and robustness of the system. To deal with this issue, this paper proposes a reachability-guaranteed ETSMC for switched systems without/with communication delay. Firstly, an event-triggered scheme (ETS) is constructed with two error functions integrated to counteract the effects of the
