2. 1. Stochastic Event-Based Control and Estimation

   Author : Toivo Henningsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; event-based control; event-based estimation; sporadic control; stochastic control; stochastic hybrid systems; sum-of-squares methods; control over networks; quantized measurements;

   Abstract : Digital controllers are traditionally implemented using periodic sampling, computation, and actuation events. As more control systems are implemented to share limited network and CPU bandwidth with other tasks, it is becoming increasingly attractive to use some form of event-based control instead, where precious events are used only when needed.

4. 2. Event-Based Control and Estimation with Stochastic Disturbances

   Author : Toivo Henningsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; event-based control; stochastic control; event-based estimation; control over networks; quantized measurements; sporadic control; embedded control;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with event-based control and estimation strategies, motivated by certain bottlenecks in the control loop. Two kinds of implementation constraints are considered: closing one or several control loops over a data network, and sensors that report measurements only as intervals (e.g. with quantization).

5. 3. Methods for Stochastic Optimal Control under State Constraints

   Author : Per Rutquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; control theory; optimal control; stochastic systems; Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellmanequation; Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation;

   Abstract : This thesis looks at a few different approaches to solving stochas-tic optimal control problems with state constraints. The motivatingproblem is optimal control of an energy buffer in a hybrid vehicle,although applications are abundant in a number of areas. READ MORE

6. 4. On LQG-Optimal Event-Based Sampling

   Author : Marcus Thelander Andrén; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Event-based control; LQG control; sampled-data control; Stochastic control; Event-based PID control; Event-based state estimation; stochastic triggering;

   Abstract : Event-based control is a promising concept for the design of resource-efficient feedback systems, where events such as sampling, actuation, and data transmissions are triggered reactively based on monitored control performance rather than a periodic timer. In this thesis, we investigate how sampling and communication events should be triggered to fully exploit the potential of event-based control based on the classic linear–quadratic–Gaussian (LQG) framework.

7. 5. Optimal Control of Electric Bus Lines

   Author : Rémi Lacombe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Eco-driving; Electric buses; Bus bunching; Nonlinear programming; Optimal control; Model predictive control;

   Abstract : Bus lines are inherently unstable systems, where any delay tends to be further amplified by the accrued passenger loads encountered at stops downstream. This self-reinforcing mechanism, when combined with the multiple sources of disturbances of an urban environment, can lead to the problem of bus bunching. READ MORE
