Automobile has become the dominant transport mode in the world in the last century. In order to meet a continuously growing demand for transport, one solution is to change the control approach for vehicle to full driving automation, which…

In this paper, we investigate online distributed job dispatching in an edge computing system residing in a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). Specifically, job dispatchers are implemented on access points (APs) which collect jobs from mobile…

An overarching issue in resource management of wireless networks is assessing their capacity: How much communication can be achieved in a network, utilizing all the tools available: power control, scheduling, routing, channel assignment and…

Autonomous trucks are expected to fundamentally transform the freight transportation industry. In particular, Autonomous Transfer Hub Networks (ATHN), which combine autonomous trucks on middle miles with human-driven on the first and last…

A real-time optimal dispatch method for unbundle electricity markets is proposed in this paper. With this method, pool energy auction market, ancillary services market, and bilateral contract market can be coordinated by the ISO through a…

A key challenge in complex visuomotor control is learning abstract representations that are effective for specifying goals, planning, and generalization. To this end, we introduce universal planning networks (UPN). UPNs embed differentiable…

Microtransit and other flexible transit fleet services can reduce costs by incorporating transfers. However, transfers are costly to users if they must get off a vehicle and wait at a stop for another pickup. A mixed integer linear…

Distributed computing networks, tasked with both packet transmission and processing, require the joint optimization of communication and computation resources. We develop a dynamic control policy that determines both routes and processing…

High-tech giants and start-ups are investing in drone technologies to provide urban air delivery service, which is expected to solve the last-mile problem and mitigate road traffic congestion. However, air delivery service will not scale up…

City-wide package delivery becomes popular due to the dramatic rise of online shopping. It places a tremendous burden on the traditional logistics industry, which relies on dedicated couriers and is labor-intensive. Leveraging the…

The number of multi-robot systems deployed in field applications has increased dramatically over the years. Despite the recent advancement of navigation algorithms, autonomous robots often encounter challenging situations where the control…

The paper introduces and evaluates the concept of the dynamic interlining of buses. Dynamic interlining is an operational strategy for routes that have a terminal station at a common hub, that allows a portion of (or all) the fleet to be…

Today's railway signalling system heavily relies on trackside infrastructure such as axle counters and track balises. This system has proven itself to be reliable, however, it is not very efficient and, moreover, very costly. Thus, it is…

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the distribution networks has turned the conventionally passive load buses into active buses that can provide grid services for the transmission system. To take advantage…

We study the problem of computing all Pareto-optimal journeys in a public transit network regarding the two criteria of arrival time and number of transfers taken. In recent years, great advances have been made in making public transit…

In this paper, we address the problem of efficient routing in delay tolerant network. We propose a new routing protocol dubbed as ORION. In ORION, only a single copy of a data packet is kept in the network and transmitted, contact by…

The study of robotic flocking has received considerable attention in the past twenty years. As we begin to deploy flocking control algorithms on physical multi-agent and swarm systems, there is an increasing necessity for rigorous promises…

The ubiquitous expansion and transformation of the energy supply system involves large-scale power infrastructure construction projects. In the view of investments of more than a million dollars per kilometre, planning authorities aim to…

We consider the optimal control problem of steering an agent population to a desired distribution over an infinite horizon. This is an optimal transport problem over a dynamical system, which is challenging due to its high computational…

In this paper, we study a variant of the dynamic ridesharing problem with a specific focus on peak hours: Given a set of drivers and rider requests, we aim to match drivers to each rider request by achieving two objectives: maximizing the…
