We consider a two-person discrete-time dynamic game with the prespecified fixed duration. Each player maximizes her profit over the game horizon, taking decisions of the other player into account. Our goal is to find the Stackelberg equilibria for such a game. The solution approach differs with respect to the information available to individual players. While in the game with open-loop information...
We present a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) algorithm for real-time control of large-scale river networks in delta areas. The algorithm consists of an iterative, finite-horizon optimization of the system over a short-term control horizon. The underlying set of nonlinear internal process models represents relevant physical phenomena such as flow routing in the river network, and the dynamics...
One key problem for canal system control is how to select appropriate performance indicators and how to tune the controller with these indicators. A canal system is a multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system. The judging control performance can be extremely complicated. In this paper, frequently used canal system performance indicators are evaluated. Then these indicators are used individually to...
In order to provide safety against high sea water levels, in many low-lying countries on the one hand dunes are maintained at a certain safety level and dikes are built, while on the other hand large control structures that can be controlled dynamically are constructed. Currently, these structures are often operated purely locally, without coordination on actions between different structures. Automatically...
In the evacuation problem, departure time, route, and destination instructions are optimized to increase the effectiveness of the evacuation (i.e., more arrivals at the destinations). In literature, evacuation instructions are mostly optimized for a problem without uncertainty (the so-called nominal problem): one specific scenario regarding the system, the hazard and the evacuees is assumed. In this...
A framework for the joint design of wireless network and controllers is proposed. Multiple control systems are considered where the sensor measurements are transmitted to the controller over the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. The essential issues of wireless networked control systems (NCSs) are investigated to provide an abstraction of the wireless network for a co-design approach. We first present an analytical...
