  2. 1. Fuel-Efficient Distributed Control for Heavy Duty Vehicle Platooning

    Author : Assad Alam; Karl Johansson; Ather Gattami; Roy Smith; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optimal Control; Heavy Duty Vehicle; Platooning; Fuel; Reachability; Game Theory;

    Abstract : Freight transport demand has escalated and will continue to do so as economiesgrow. As the traffic intensity increases, the drivers are faced with increasinglycomplex tasks and traffic safety is a growing issue. Simultaneously, fossil fuel usageis escalating. Heavy duty vehicle (HDV) platooning is a plausible solution to theseissues. READ MORE

  4. 2. Deep probabilistic models for sequential and hierarchical data

    Author : Carl Andersson; Thomas B. Schön; Niklas Wahlström; Roy Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine learning; Deep learning; Sequential modelling; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Signal Processing; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot signalbehandling;

    Abstract : Consider the problem where we want a computer program capable of recognizing a pedestrian on the road. This could be employed in a car to automatically apply the brakes to avoid an accident. READ MORE

  5. 3. Dual control concepts for linear dynamical systems

    Author : Mina Ferizbegovic; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Thomas B. Schön; Cristian R. Rojas; Roy Smith; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : We study simultaneous learning and control of linear dynamical systems. In such a setting, control policies are derived with respect to two objectives: i) to control the system as well as possible, given the current knowledge of system dynamics (exploitation), and ii) to gather as much information as possible about the unknown system that can improve control (exploration).

  6. 4. Flight Test System Identification

    Author : Roger Larsson; Martin Enqvist; Lennart Ljung; Roy Smith; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : With the demand for more advanced fighter aircraft, relying on unstable flight mechanical characteristics to gain flight performance, more focus has been put on model-based system engineering to help with the design work. The flight control system design is one important part that relies on this modeling. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling and identification of nonlinear and impulsive systems

    Author : Per Mattsson; Alexander Medvedev; Roy Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear system identification; modeling; impulsive systems; impulse detection;

    Abstract : Mathematical modeling of dynamical systems plays a central roll in science and engineering. This thesis is concerned with the process of finding a mathematical model, and it is divided into two parts - one that concentrates on nonlinear system identification and another one where an impulsive model of testosterone regulation is constructed and analyzed.
