Liu, X. (author), Dabiri, A. (author), Wang, Yihui (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Real-time timetable scheduling is an effective way to improve passenger satisfaction and to reduce operational costs in urban rail transit networks. In this paper, a novel passenger-oriented network model is developed for real-time timetable scheduling that can model time-dependent passenger origin-destination demands with consideration of a...journal article 2023

Moradvandi, A. (author), Lindeboom, R.E.F. (author), Abraham, E. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Dynamical systems and processes that either exhibit non-smooth behaviours (e.g. through logic control or natural phenomena) or work in different modes of operation are usually represented using hybrid systems models, i.e. mathematical models that combine continuous dynamics with discrete-event dynamics. Identification of a hybrid system...conference paper 2023

Yue, Dongdong (author), Baldi, S. (author), Cao, Jinde (author), Li, Qi (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)This paper addresses distributed adaptive optimal resource allocation problems over weight-balanced digraphs. By leveraging state-of-the-art adaptive coupling designs for multiagent systems, two adaptive algorithms are proposed, namely a directed-spanning-tree-based algorithm and a node-based algorithm. The benefits of these algorithms are...journal article 2023

Liu, X. (author), Dabiri, A. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Effective timetable scheduling strategies are essential for passenger satisfaction in urban rail transit networks. Most existing passenger-centric timetable scheduling approaches generate a timetable according to deterministic passenger origin-destination (OD) demands. As passenger OD demands in urban rail transit networks generally show a...journal article 2023

Sun, D. (author), Jamshidnejad, A. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Traffic control is essential to reduce congestion in both urban and freeway traffic networks. These control measures include ramp metering and variable speed limits for freeways, and traffic signal control for urban traffic. However, current traffic control methods are either too simple to respond to complex traffic environment, or too...journal article 2023

van den Boom, A.J.J. (author), Gupta, A. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Beek, Ruby (author)In this paper we discuss modelling and control of discrete-event systems using max-min-plus-scaling systems. We analyse how the basic operations max, min, plus, and scaling occur in the modelling phase and we discuss some general forms for the system. Because of the different/deviating character of the signals in a discrete-event MMPS model,...journal article 2023

Shi, S. (author), Cheng, Xiaodong (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Van den Hof, Paul M.J. (author)In a dynamic network of interconnected transfer functions, it is not necessary to use all the node signals for estimating a local transfer function. Given the network topology, detailed conditions are available for selecting inputs and outputs in a (MIMO) predictor model that warrants consistent and minimum variance estimation of a target...journal article 2023

Airaldi, F. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Dabiri, A. (author)This paper proposes a method to encourage safety in Model Predictive Control (MPC)-based Reinforcement Learning (RL) via Gaussian Process (GP) regression. The framework consists of 1) a parametric MPC scheme that is employed as model-based controller with approximate knowledge on the real system's dynamics, 2) an episodic RL algorithm tasked...journal article 2023

Gharavi, L. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Baldi, S. (author)Piecewise-affine (PWA) approximations are widely used among hybrid modeling frameworks as a way to increase computational efficiency in nonlinear control and optimization problems. A variety of approaches to construct PWA approximations have been proposed, most of which are tailored to specific application areas by using some prior knowledge...journal article 2023

Ranjbar, R. (author), Sadowska, A. (author), Maestre, J. M. (author), van Overloop, P.J.A.T.M. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)We propose a model-predictive control (MPC) approach to solve a human-in-the-loop control problem for a non-automatic networked system with uncertain dynamics. There are no sensors or actuators installed in the system and we involve humans in the loop to travel between various nodes in the network and to provide the remote controller with...journal article 2023

Wang, Yihui (author), Zhu, Songwei (author), Li, Shukai (author), Yang, Lixing (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In practice, the operation of high-speed trains is often affected by adverse weather conditions or equipment failures, which result in delays and even cancellations of train services. In this article, a novel two-layer hierarchical model predictive control (MPC) model is proposed for on-line high-speed railway delay management and train...journal article 2022

Todorović, Uglješa (author), Frejo, José Ramón D. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework has shown great potential for the control of Variable Speed Limits (VSLs) and Ramp Metering (RM) installations. However, the implementation to large freeway networks remains challenging. One major reason is that, by considering the VSLs to be discrete decision variables, an extremely difficult Mixed...journal article 2022

Storani, Facundo (author), Di Pace, Roberta (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The paper proposes a traffic responsive control framework based on a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach. The framework focuses on a centralized method, which can simultaneously compute the network decision variables (i.e., the green timings at each junction and the offset of the traffic light plans of the network). Furthermore, the...journal article 2022
