Approximate Dynamic Programming for a Mean-field Game of Traffic Flow: Existence and Uniqueness
Amoolya Tirumalai, John S. Baras
Highway vehicular traffic is an inherently multi-agent problem. Traffic jams can appear and disappear mysteriously. We develop a method for traffic flow control that is applied at…
A Robust Mean-field Game of Boltzmann-Vlasov-like Traffic Flow
Amoolya Tirumalai, John S. Baras
Historically, traffic modelling approaches have taken either a particle-like (microscopic) approach, or a gas-like (meso- or macroscopic) approach. Until recently with the introduc…
Value of Information in Feedback Control: Global Optimality
Touraj Soleymani, John S. Baras, Sandra Hirche +1
The rate-regulation tradeoff, defined between two objective functions, one penalizing the packet rate and one the regulation cost, can express the fundamental performance bound of…
Value of Information in Feedback Control: Quantification
Touraj Soleymani, John S. Baras, Sandra Hirche
Although transmission of a data packet containing sensory information in a networked control system improves the quality of regulation, it has indeed a price from the communication…
Optimal LQG Control under Delay-dependent Costly Information
Dipankar Maity, Mohammad H. Mamduhi, Sandra Hirche +2
In the design of closed-loop networked control systems (NCSs), induced transmission delay between sensors and the control station is an often-present issue which compromises contro…
Nonlinear Programming Methods for Distributed Optimization
Ion Matei, John S. Baras
In this paper we investigate how standard nonlinear programming algorithms can be used to solve constrained optimization problems in a distributed manner. The optimization setup co…
Convergence Analysis of Classes of Asymmetric Networks of Cucker-Smale Type with Deterministic Perturbations
Christoforos Somarakis, Evripidis Paraskevas, John S. Baras +1
We introduce and discuss two nonlinear perturbed extensions of the Cucker-Smale model with asymmetric coupling weights. The first model assumes a finite collection of autonomous ag…
