Model-based Control of Large-scale Baggage Handling Systems: Leveraging the Theory of Linear Positive Systems for Robust Scalable Control Design

Large-scale baggage handling systems, or large-scale logistic networks, for that matter, pose interesting challenges to model-based control design. These challenges concern computational complexity, scalability, and robustness of the proposed solutions. This thesis tackles these issues in a collection of papers organized in two overlapping parts...
