Sharing the Control Authority Between Deep Reinforcement Learning and Model Predictive Control: Application to Multi-Class Transportation Networks
Giray Onur, Azita Dabiri, Bart De Schutter
Transportation networks, in particular multi-class transportation networks (i.e., networks with mixed vehicle types), are complex systems that are challenging to control. Recently,…
Model Predictive Control and Moving Horizon Estimation using Statistically Weighted Data-Based Ensemble Models
Laura Boca de Giuli, Samuel Mallick, Alessio La Bella +3
This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) framework leveraging an ensemble of data-based models to optimally control complex systems under multiple operating conditions.…
Second-Order MPC-Based Distributed Q-Learning
Samuel Mallick, Filippo Airaldi, Azita Dabiri +1
The state of the art for model predictive control (MPC)-based distributed Q-learning is limited to first-order gradient updates of the MPC parameterization. In general, using secon…
Integrated Online Monitoring and Adaptation of Process Model Predictive Controllers
Samuel Mallick, Laura Boca de de Giuli, Alessio La Bella +3
This paper addresses the design of an event-triggered, data-based, and performance-oriented adaption method for model predictive control (MPC). The performance of such a strategy s…
Reinforcement Learning with Distributed MPC for Fuel-Efficient Platoon Control with Discrete Gear Transitions
Samuel Mallick, Gianpietro Battocletti, Dimitris Boskos +2
Cooperative control of groups of autonomous vehicles (AVs), i.e., platoons, is a promising direction to improving the efficiency of autonomous transportation systems. In this conte…
Safe model-based Reinforcement Learning via Model Predictive Control and Control Barrier Functions
Kerim Dzhumageldyev, Filippo Airaldi, Azita Dabiri
Optimal control strategies are often combined with safety certificates to ensure both performance and safety in safety-critical systems. A prominent example is combining Model Pred…
