چکیده

The development of a hybrid control scheme for freeway systems is the objective of the paper. A finite number of models is defined, each relevant to a specific traffic condition. The system state variables are the differences between the traffic density and the traffic mean speed in each section and their desired values. A receding–horizon (RH) regulator is defined for each model being the control variables the traffic volumes at on– ramps. A hybrid control scheme is proposed, which is composed of two control levels. The first control level consists of a finite class of models and RH control functions. The second level acts as a supervisor that chooses the best model and control law to be applied to the plant according to the present system state and possible external events. The application of the proposed control scheme makes it possible to guarantee some suitable stability properties of the origin as an equilibrium point of the system considered at the first control level.

Hybrid Control to Approach Chaos Synchronization of Uncertain DUFFING Oscillator Systems with External Disturbance

This paper proposes a hybrid control scheme for the synchronization of two chaotic Duffing oscillator system, subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. The novelty of this scheme is that the Linear Quadratic Regulation (LQR) control, Sliding Mode (SM) control and Gaussian Radial basis Function Neural Network (GRBFNN) control are combined to chaos synchronization with respect to extern...

Agent Based Velocity Control of Highway Systems

In this paper we present a hybrid systems approach to freeway traffic control. We introduce a model of traffic which includes both vehicles and voids, where a void is a unit of space greater than the normal following distance between vehicles. The introduction of voids allows us to successfully model traffic flow via a wave model. We discuss the fundamentals of the Multiple Agent Hybrid Control...

Attribute-based Access Control for Cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems

Electronic health record (EHR) system facilitates integrating patients' medical information and improves service productivity. However, user access to patient data in a privacy-preserving manner is still challenging problem. Many studies concerned with security and privacy in EHR systems. Rezaeibagha and Mu [1] have proposed a hybrid architecture for privacy-preserving accessing patient records...

A Benchmark Problem in Transportation Networks

In this note, we propose a case study of freeway traffic flow modeled as a hybrid system. We describe two general classes of networks that model flow along a freeway with merging onramps. The admission rate of traffic flow from each onramp is metered via a control input. Both classes of networks are easily scaled to accommodate arbitrary state dimension. The model is discrete-time and possesses...

Robust Hybrid Motion Force Control Algorithm for Robot Manipulators

In this paper we present a robust hybrid motion/force controller for rigid robot manipulators. The main contribution of this paper is that the proposed hybrid control system is able to accomplish motion objectives in free directions and force objectives in constrained directions under parametric uncertainty both in robot dynamics and stiffness constraint constant. Also, the given scheme is prov...
