2. 1. Planning for a Class of Sequential Control Problems

   Author : Inger Klein; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sequential control problems;

   Abstract : Sequential control is probably the most common control problem in industry. Despite its importance, fairly little theoretical research has been devoted to this problem, and practical problems are typically solved by ad hoc methods, sometimes quite time-consuming.Sequential control is really a planning problem.

4. 2. A Graphical Language for Batch Control

   Author : Charlotta Johnsson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automation; Batch Recipes; Batch Processes; Sequential Control; Grafcet; Petri nets; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

   Abstract : In this thesis a graphical language for sequential control is presented and its application to batch control is examined and discussed. The name of the language is Grafchart. Its main feature is that it makes it possible to express complicated control problems in a compact and intuitive manner. READ MORE

5. 3. Automatic Synthesis of Sequential Control Schemes

   Author : Inger Klein; Lennart Ljung; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Of all hard- and software developed for industrial control purposes, the majority is devoted to sequential, or binary valued, control and only a minor part to classical linear control. Typically, the sequential parts of the controller are invoked during startup and shut-down to bring the system into its normal operating region and into some safe standby region, respectively.

6. 4. Structure-Exploiting Numerical Algorithms for Optimal Control

   Author : Isak Nielsen; Daniel Axehill; Anders Hansson; Eric Kerrigan; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Numerical Optimal Control; Model Predictive Control; Riccati Recursion; Parallel Algorithms; Low-Rank Modifications; Parametric Programming; Optimization; Explicit MPC; Moving Horizon Estimation; Partial Condensing;

   Abstract : Numerical algorithms for efficiently solving optimal control problems are important for commonly used advanced control strategies, such as model predictive control (MPC), but can also be useful for advanced estimation techniques, such as moving horizon estimation (MHE). In MPC, the control input is computed by solving a constrained finite-time optimal control (CFTOC) problem on-line, and in MHE the estimated states are obtained by solving an optimization problem that often can be formulated as a CFTOC problem.

7. 5. Optimization-based coordination strategies for connected and autonomous vehicles

   Author : Robert Hult; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Model Predictive Control; Optimization; Optimal Control; Connected Automated Vehicles; Intersection Coordination;

   Abstract : Automated vehicles (AV) are expected to reach the consumer market within the next decade. Once AVs become ubiquitous, they could resolve difficult traffic situations through communication-based cooperation. READ MORE
