Investigation of L1 Adaptive Control as an Augmentation Loop

L1 adaptive control is a relatively new technique that attempts to tackle the robustness shortcoming of the MRAC controller by applying a low pass filter to the control input. It can be used as an augmentation loop using baseline controllers such as backstepping or PID. This controller has been implemented as an augmentation loop with both these...

Multi-Agent Look-Ahead Traffic-Adaptive Control

The objective of this thesis is to create a distributed, multi-agent, approach to traffic control. This PhD thesis' focus is on the control of a network instrumented by traffic signals.A thorough literature study has been performed, reviewing the current state of the art in traffic signal control. On the basis of this literature survey, a...

De regeling van het Mach getal in de hoge snelheids tunnel van het NLR

The High Speed wind Tunnel (HST) of the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR is one of the major transonic windtunnels and is used for aerodynamic research on scale models. The measurements require the control of the Mach number. Two kinds of controller tasks can be distinguished: keeping the Mach number constant, and realizing a different Mach...
