Given the efficiency and equity concerns of a cordon toll, this paper proposes a few alternative distance-dependent area-based pricing models for a large-scale dynamic traffic network. We use the Network Fundamental Diagram (NFD) to monitor…
In this work, solution of the finite horizon hybrid optimal control problem as the central element of the receding horizon optimal control (model predictive control) is investigated based on the indirect approach. The response of a hybrid…
In this paper, we study the problem of optimizing the stability of positive semi-Markov jump linear systems. We specifically consider the problem of tuning the coefficients of the system matrices for maximizing the exponential decay rate of…
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a powerful tool to perform data-driven optimal control without relying on a model of the system. However, RL struggles to provide hard guarantees on the behavior of the resulting control scheme. In contrast,…
We study the traffic patterns as well as the charging patterns of a population of cost-minimizing EV owners traveling and charging within a transportation network equipped with fast charging stations (FCSs). Specifically, we study how the…
The recent introduction of synchrophasor technology into power distribution systems has given impetus to various monitoring, diagnostic, and control applications, such as system identification and event detection, which are crucial for…
With the increasing penetration of the roof-top solar PV and the rising interest in net-zero energy homes concept, there is a need of balancing the performance of intelligent controllers, their cost-effectiveness and over-all sophistication…
In this paper, we present an approach to identify linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with a state-space (SS) model structure in an innovation form where the coefficient functions have static and affine dependency on the scheduling…
We study the problem of designing false measurement data that is injected to corrupt and mislead the output of a Kalman filter. Unlike existing works that focus on detection and filtering algorithms for the observer, we study the problem…
This paper considers a collaborative tracking control problem using a group of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with constant and non-identical speeds. The dynamics of fixed-wing UAVs are modelled by unicycle-type equations with…
We consider the problem of guaranteeing transient stability of a network of interconnected angle droop controlled microgrids, where voltage phase angle measurements from phasor measurement units (PMUs) may be lost, leading to poor…
When simulators are energetically coupled in a co-simulation, residual energies alter the total energy of the full coupled system. This distorts the system dynamics, lowers the quality of the results, and can lead to instability. By using…
Performing multiple experiments is common when learning internal mechanisms of complex systems. These experiments can include perturbations to parameters or external disturbances. A challenging problem is to efficiently incorporate all…
This article considers the design and analysis of multiple moving target defenses for recognizing and isolating attacks on cyber-physical systems. We consider attackers who perform integrity attacks on a set of sensors and actuators in a…
We provide a Lyapunov-function-based method for establishing different types of uniform input-to-state stability (ISS) for time-varying impulsive systems. The method generalizes to impulsive systems with inputs the well-established…
After reviewing commutativity of second-order linear time-varying analog systems, the inverse commutativity conditions are derived for these systems by considering non-zero initial conditions. On the base of these conditions, the…
In this paper, the stability of fractional differential equations (FDEs) with unknown parameters is studied. FDEs bring many advantages to model the physical systems in the nature or man-made systems in the industry. Because this…
Decomposition is a common tool for synthesis of many physical systems. It is also used for analyzing large scale systems which then known as tearing and reconstruction. On the other hand, commutativity of cascade connected systems have…
