Derandomized Distributed Multi-resource Allocation with Little Communication Overhead
Syed Eqbal Alam, Robert Shorten, Fabian Wirth +1
We study a class of distributed optimization problems for multiple shared resource allocation in Internet-connected devices. We propose a derandomized version of an existing stocha…
Distributed Algorithms for Internet-of-Things-enabled Prosumer Markets: A Control Theoretic Perspective
Syed Eqbal Alam, Robert Shorten, Fabian Wirth +1
Internet-of-Things (IoT) enables the development of sharing economy applications. In many sharing economy scenarios, agents both produce as well as consume a resource; we call them…
ISS Property with Respect to Boundary Disturbances for a Class of Riesz-Spectral Boundary Control Systems
Hugo Lhachemi, Robert Shorten
This paper deals with the establishment of Input-to-State Stability (ISS) estimates for infinite dimensional systems with respect to both boundary and distributed disturbances. Fir…
Bayesian Classifier for Route Prediction with Markov Chains
Jonathan P. Epperlein, Julien Monteil, Mingming Liu +3
We present here a general framework and a specific algorithm for predicting the destination, route, or more generally a pattern, of an ongoing journey, building on the recent work…
Communication-efficient Distributed Multi-resource Allocation
Syed Eqbal Alam, Robert Shorten, Fabian Wirth +1
In several smart city applications, multiple resources must be allocated among competing agents that are coupled through such shared resources and are constrained --- either throug…
Input-to-State Stability of a Clamped-Free Damped String in the Presence of Distributed and Boundary Disturbances
Hugo Lhachemi, David Saussié, Guchuan Zhu +1
This note establishes the Exponential Input-to-State Stability (EISS) property for a clamped-free damped string with respect to distributed and boundary disturbances. While efficie…
On the Ergodic Control of Ensembles
Andre R. Fioravanti, Jakub Marecek, Robert N. Shorten +2
Across smart-grid and smart-city application domains, there are many problems where an ensemble of agents is to be controlled such that both the aggregate behaviour and individual-…
A Non-Invasive Method for the Safe Interaction of Cities and Electric Vehicle Fleets
Bill Power, Brian Mulkeene, Anthony D. Fagan +1
Electric and hybrid vehicles are growing in popularity. While these vehicles produce less pollution, they also produce less audible noise, especially at lower speeds. This makes it…
On the Design of an Intelligent Speed Advisory System for Cyclists
Yingqi Gu, Mingming Liu, Matheus Souza +1
Traffic-related pollution is becoming a major societal problem globally. Cyclists are particularly exposed to this form of pollution due to their proximity to vehicles' tailpipes.…
On the design of a decision engine for connected vehicles with an application to congestion management
Rodrigo Ordóñez-Hurtado, Giovanni Russo, Sam Sinnott +1
Vehicles are becoming connected entities. As a result, a likely scenario is that such entities might be literally bombarded with information from a multitude of devices. In this co…
dockChain: A Solution for Electric Vehicles Charge Point Anxiety
J. O'Connell, B. Cardiff, R. Shorten
This paper addresses Charge Point Anxiety surrounding electric vehicles (EVs), an issue preventing the mass adoption of this greener mode of transport. We discuss the design and im…
A Hidden Markov Model for Route and Destination Prediction
Yassine Lassoued, Julien Monteil, Yingqi Gu +3
We present a simple model and algorithm for predicting driver destinations and routes, based on the input of the latest road links visited as part of an ongoing trip. The algorithm…
On the Control of Agents Coupled through Shared Unit-demand Resources
Syed Eqbal Alam, Robert Shorten, Fabian Wirth +1
We consider a control problem involving several agents coupled through multiple unit-demand resources. Such resources are indivisible, and each agent's consumption is modeled as a…
On string stability of nonlinear bidirectional asymmetric heterogeneous platoon systems
Julien Monteil, Giovanni Russo, Robert Shorten
This paper is concerned with the study of bidirectionally coupled platoon systems. The case considered is when the vehicles are heterogeneous and the coupling can be nonlinear and…
