Du, Zhe (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Reppa, V. (author)Transportation of a large offshore platform from inland waters to the open sea is a hazardous and challenging mission. With the development of the autonomous surface vessel (ASV), the problem of large floating object transportation has a chance to be solved by applying multiple physical-connected autonomous tugboats. This article proposes a...journal article 2023

Li, D. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Data-driven control without using mathematical models is a promising research direction for urban traffic control due to the massive amounts of traffic data generated every day. This article proposes a novel distributed model-free adaptive predictive control (D-MFAPC) approach for multiregion urban traffic networks. More specifically, the...journal article 2022

Farrag, Mostafa (author), Perez, Gerald Corzo (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)Many grid‐based spatial hydrological models suffer from the complexity of setting up a coherent spatial structure to calibrate such a complex, highly parameterized system. There are essential aspects of model‐building to be taken into account: spatial resolution, the routing equation limitations, and calibration of spatial parameters, and...journal article 2021

Hsu, Shu-Chen (author)With urbanization and climate change, the reliable water supply by centralized system is facing challenges. Research on the (re)use of the outflow from an urban area as an alternative water resource is increasing in recent years. This research requires spatial and temporal information on the status of components of urban water cycle. Several...master thesis 2020

Wang, K. (author), Li, Jiayuan (author), Yan, Xinping (author), Huang, Lianzhong (author), Jiang, X. (author), Yuan, Yupeng (author), Ma, Ranqi (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The optimization of ship energy consumption is attracting a great deal of attention, as societies seek to save energy and reduce emissions. Shipping companies are more concerned with the energy consumption of a ship fleet, as opposed to that of a single ship. Because the energy consumption of a fleet is influenced by multiple factors...journal article 2020

Chen, L. (author)This PhD thesis investigates V2V, V2I, and I2I cooperation of CMVSs for improving the safety and efficiency of waterborne transport. A predictive motion control framework and a generic negotiation framework are proposed to achieve consensus among controllers. Different applications provide insights into the impact of CMVSs on the performance of...doctoral thesis 2019

Chen, L. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Compared to an individual Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV), greater efficiency and operational capability can be realized by a team of cooperative ASVs for certain operations, such as search and rescue, hydrographic survey and navigation assistance. This paper focuses on cooperative floating object transport, i.e., a group of ASVs coordinate...journal article 2019

Chen, L. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)A Cooperative Multi-Vessel System (CMVS) is a system consisting of multiple coordinated vessels. Vessels utilize Vessel-2-Vessel and Vessel-2-Infrastructure communication to making decisions with negotiating and\or collaborating with each other for a common goal. Due to the geographic limitations of banks and navigation rules and regulations,...journal article 2018

Sifaki, Charikleia (author)In recent years, urban inundation modelling has been stimulated by technological advancements and an increase in data availability and quality. Diminution of modelling restrictions allowed for detailed methodologies, yet escalated the number of required parameters, leading to higher complexity and predictions’ uncertainty issues. In the present...master thesis 2017

de Boer-Euser, Tanja (author)Why do equal precipitation events not lead to equal discharge events across space and time? The easy answer would be because catchments are different, which then leads to the second question: Why do hydrologists often use the same rainfall-runoff model for different catchments? Probably because specifying and distributing hydrological processes...doctoral thesis 2017

Dang Doan, Minh (author), Diehl, Moritz (author), Keviczky, T. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)In this paper we introduce an iterative distributed Jacobi algorithm for solving convex optimization problems, which is motivated by distributed model predictive control (MPC) for linear time-invariant systems. Starting from a given feasible initial guess, the algorithm iteratively improves the value of the cost function with guaranteed...conference paper 2017

Verstegen, E. (author)Conventional hydrological models use a deterministic approach. One could think of it like a black box, having an input, parameters, relations and an output. The parameters are calibrated by comparing the model output with observations of the system response (for example river runoff). When assessing the uncertainty in models the focus is often...master thesis 2016

Liu, S. (author)In Model Predictive Control (MPC) for traffic networks, traffic models are crucial since they are used as prediction models for determining the optimal control actions. In order to reduce the computational complexity of MPC for traffic networks, macroscopic traffic models are often used instead of microscopic traffic models. These macroscopic...doctoral thesis 2016

Kersbergen, B. (author)The operation of many systems can be described by the timing of events. When the system behavior can be described by equations that are "linear'' in the max-plus algebra, which has maximization and addition as its basic operations, the system is called a max-plus-linear system. In many of these systems the order of the events may need to be...doctoral thesis 2015

Negenborn, R.R. (author), De Schutter, B. (author)Water networks are large-scale systems, consisting of many interacting components. They are currently typically operated by local decentralized controllers which receive setpoints from human operators. We discuss how communication among the local controllers can be included and in particular propose the use of distributed model predictive...conference paper 2008
