چکیده

This paper derives an optimization-based control methodology for networks of switched and hybrid systems in which each mode is governed by a partial differential equation (PDE). We pose the continuous controller synthesis problem as an optimization program with PDEs in the constraints. The proposed algorithm relies on an explicit formulation of the gradient of the cost function, obtained via the adjoint of the PDE operator. First, we show how to use the result of the optimization to synthesize on/off control strategies. Then, we generalize the method to optimal switching control of hybrid systems over PDEs: the system is allowed to switch from one mode (or PDE) to another at times which we synthesize to minimize a given cost. We derive an explicit expression of the gradient of the cost with respect to the switching times. We implement our techniques on a highway congestion control problem using Performance Measurement System (PeMS) data for the California I210 for a 9 mile long strip with 26 on-ramps (controllable with red/green metering lights) and off-ramps (uncontrollable).

MultiServ: congestion alleviation using overlay network

In this paper, a novel model named MultiServ is proposed to alleviate the congestion and to provide better quality of service for end-host using overlay network. In MultiServ, a special overlay is built so that end-host and its neighbors can cooperatively transmit data efficiently. Meanwhile, a joint congest control scheme is proposed for multiple path data transmission. As a result, the traffi...

Stochastic Congestion Alleviation with a Trade-off between Demand Response Resources and Load Shedding

Under the smart grid environments, Demand Response Resources (DRRs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which DRRs can play a significant role. Previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. Therefore, a stochastic conges...

A neuro-fuzzy approach to vehicular traffic flow prediction for a metropolis in a developing country

Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...

redesign of trAnsport systems on HigHwAys, streets And Avenues

Redesigning of the traffic system on highways, streets and avenues is quite important, when aspects such as network plan, geometric design, traffic control, operation, regulation and enforcement of roads are considered as a unified system. The ‘highways’, which should primarily consider transport function for intercity connections, and ‘streets and avenues’, which should also involve the variou...

Application of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Techniques to Solve Bi-level Congestion Pricing Problems

The solutions used to solve bi-level congestion pricing problems are usually based on heuristic network optimization methods which may not be able to find the best solution for these type of problems. The application of meta-heuristic methods can be seen as viable alternative solutions but so far, it has not received enough attention by researchers in this field. Therefore, the objective of thi...
