This paper proposes a nonmonetary traffic demand management scheme, named CARMA, as a fair solution to the morning commute congestion. We consider heterogeneous commuters traveling through a single bottleneck that differ in both the desired arrival time an ...
Machine learning has provided a means to accelerate early-stage drug discovery by combining molecule generation and filtering steps in a single architecture that leverages the experience and design preferences of medicinal chemists. However, designing mach ...
This paper extends the authors' previous work on Control by Interconnection - Model Predictive Control (CbI-MPC) design for constrained port-Hamiltonian systems to deal with the unmeasurable system states. The first contribution resides in the CbI-oriented ...
Due to the integration of renewable-based Distributed Generation Units (DGUs), Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) and electric car charging stations, more and more power electronic converters are connected to the grid. In grids with a high penetration rate of t ...
This letter presents a whole-body robot control method for exploring and probing a given region of interest. The ergodic control formalism behind such an exploration behavior consists of matching the time-averaged statistics of a robot trajectory with the ...
Carpooling is an efficient measure to fight car ownership and reduce vehicle kilometres travelled. By individuals sharing their commutes, vehicle occupancy increases and congestion is reduced. We develop a dynamic ADL (Arnott, de Palma, Lindsey)-Vickrey ap ...
This paper addresses the problem of overloading in power distribution networks, which stems from the transmission systems being incapable of delivering power from source to consumers during peak hours. This causes frequent power-outages (or blackouts), req ...
Path-following tasks, which refer to dynamic motion planning along pre-specified geometric references, are frequently encountered in applications such as milling, robot-supported measurements, and trajectory planning for autonomous vehicles. Different conv ...
In this paper, a novel hierarchical multirate control scheme for nonlinear discrete-time systems is presented, consisting of a robust nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) and a multirate sliding mode disturbance compensator (MSMDC). The proposed MS ...
