Real-Time In-Domain Congestion Control for the LWR Traffic Model via Control Barrier Functions
Zehang Zhu, Brian Block, Stephanie Stockar
This paper presents a control barrier function-based method for real-time in-domain congestion control of the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards traffic model. Traffic congestion is formul…
A Continuification Approach to CAV Control in Mixed Traffic via Variable Speed Limits
Brian Block, Cecilia Pasquale, Silvia Siri +2
This paper presents a method for controlling traffic via the use of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) acting as moving bottlenecks. Current methods for moving bottleneck cont…
Optimal Finite-Horizon LQR Control for Traffic Flow via Variable Speed Limits
Brian Block, Stephanie Stockar
This article presents a finite-horizon linear quadratic regulator for the control of the first-order Lighthill-Whitham-Richards traffic model with a triangular fundamental diagram.…
Constrained Control of PDE Traffic Flow via Spatial Control Barrier Functions
Brian Block, Stephanie Stockar
In this paper, a constrained control approach to variable speed limit (VSL) control for macroscopic partial differential equations (PDE) traffic models is developed. Control Lyapun…
Sensitivity Analysis of Performance-Based Partitioning in District Heating Networks
Audrey Blizard, Stephanie Stockar
The paper presents a sensitivity analysis of the factors affecting the optimal partitioning of a district heating network for distributed control. Leveraging a physics-based, distr…
Traffic-Aware Eco-Driving Control in CAVs via Learning-based Terminal Cost Model
Mehmet Fatih Ozkan, Dennis Kibalama, Jacob Paugh +2
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) offer significant potential for improving energy efficiency and lowering vehicle emissions through eco-driving technologies. Control algorit…
