A simultaneous traffic signal control and route selection model is developed with the selection of the route for a specific vehicle with traffic flows with the same traffic signals. A discrete abstraction model is introduced to reduce the computational expense for the Lagrangian relaxation technique. Computational results show the superiority of the discrete abstraction model over existing methods.","PeriodicalId":445441,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121056591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we use DP to derive optimal value functions and optimal dispatching policies in a small number of numerical cases. The optimal value functions are then applied to train a deep neural network (DNN). The DNN builds an efficient estimation engine for optimal value functions. Since optimal dispatching decisions can be considered a compressed feature of the optimal value function, the value function estimated by DNN can be quickly mapped to dynamic dispatching policies. The accuracy of DNN dispatching policies is validated by the k-fold cross-validation (k-cv) test in a wide variety of re-entrant systems. Our preliminary investigation shows the potential of DNN in instantaneously generating accurate dynamic dispatching policies.","PeriodicalId":445441,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132683959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the attack is not represented by a specific model, but is assumed to be unbounded and influencing only a small subset of sensors (which is fixed over time).

While online optimal control is regarded as an efficient tool to improve the operating efficiency of AC systems, traditional online optimal control schemes utilize a so-called time-driven optimization (TDO) scheme. Although it works well for simple AC systems, several limitations are encountered when systems become more and more complex. TDO is basically a periodic scheme, which may lead to inefficient actions (e.g. delayed or unnecessary actions) in response to aperiodic or stochastic operational changes. TDO is also not efficient in balancing the optimization performance and computing load. Recently, an event-driven optimization (EDO) scheme has been proposed to solve these limitations. However, as the EDO in the building sector is quite a new topic, the corresponding EDO design methodology remains blank. Thus, this paper presents a feasible design methodology for EDO. The effectiveness of the design methodology is validated by the case study of a commercial AC system. Results show that the EDO (with optimized events) achieves better computational efficiency without sacrificing energy performance compared with the conventional TDO.","PeriodicalId":445441,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130827206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the VDC principle, the entire system is conceptually divided into such subsystems: the object, the space base, the manipulator, the reaction wheel and the massless virtual manipulator. The last term is designed to solve the nonholonomic constraints of the whole system. Based on the mathematical model of the entire system, kinematics and dynamics of every subsystem from the object to the space base are analyzed. A virtual decomposition controller of each subsystem is simultaneously designed, and this controller and the corresponding subsystem structure a control subsystem of the whole robot. All subsystem controllers constitute the controller of the entire robot system, and the combination of this controller and the robot system is the virtual decomposition control system of this robot. Then it takes two steps to achieve its stability analysis — the virtual stability of each control subsystem and the stability analysis of the whole control system. Finally, the VDC system of the free-flying space robot with an object is simulated. Simulation results show that the VDC system is stable and effective.","PeriodicalId":445441,"journal":{"name":"2017 13th IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132365182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
