Multi-agent model predictive control for transportation networks with continuous and discrete elements

For several reasons, control of transportation networks like road traffic networks, power transmission networks, water distribution networks, etc. has to be done using a multi-agent control approach. We consider a multi-agent control approach in which each control agent uses Model Predictive Control (MPC) to determine its actions. Each control...

Multi-agent model predictive control for transportation networks: Serial versus parallel schemes

We consider the control of large-scale transportation networks, like road traffic networks, power distribution networks, water distribution networks, etc. Control of these networks is often not possible from a single point by a single intelligent control agent; instead control has to be performed using multiple intelligent agents. We consider...
