An Optimal Strategy for the Control of a Train
نویسنده
چکیده
A train travels from one station to the next along a level track. The journey must be completed within a given time and it is desirable to minimise the energy required to drive the train. It has been shown with an appropriate formulation of the problem that an optimal strategy exists and that this strategy must satisfy a Pontryagin type criterion. In this paper the Pontryagin principle will be used to find the nature of the optimal strategy and this information will then be used to determine the precise optimal strategy.

متن کاملOptimal Control via Integrating the Dynamics of Magnetorheological Dampers and Structures
Magnetorheological (MR) dampers have the advantage of being tuned by low voltages. This has attracted many researchers to develop semi-active control of structures in theory and practice. Most of the control strategies first obtain the desired forces of dampers without taking their dynamics into consideration and then determine the input voltages according to those forces. As a result, these st...
