Real-Time Train Scheduling With Uncertain Passenger Flows: A Scenario-Based Distributed Model Predictive Control Approach

Real-time train scheduling is essential for passenger satisfaction in urban rail transit networks. This paper focuses on real-time train scheduling for urban rail transit networks considering uncertain time-dependent passenger origin-destination demands. First, a macroscopic passenger flow model we proposed before is extended to include...

Robust Locomotion Exploiting Multiple Balance Strategies: An Observer-Based Cascaded Model Predictive Control Approach

Robust locomotion is a challenging task for humanoid robots, especially when considering dynamic disturbances. This article proposes a disturbance observer-based cascaded model predictive control (MPC) approach for bipedal locomotion, with the capability of exploiting ankle, stepping, hip and height variation strategies. Specifically, based...

Ship docking and undocking control with adaptive-mutation beetle swarm prediction algorithm

Autonomous docking and undocking control is an important part of intelligent ship motion control. In this study, the adaptive-mutation beetle swarm prediction (AMBS-P) algorithm is used to propose a control approach for autonomous docking and undocking. Firstly, this paper introduces the principle of the AMBS-P algorithm, then the convergence...
