Based on recent developments and technological advances, the complexity and number of systems and services for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) has risen dramatically. The interactions between these systems and services require systematic development methods for their integrated structural design as well as their behavioral planning in terms of integrated control strategies, which can address multiple as well as heterogenous goals. To address this situation, in this work, we propose an approach for integrated modeling of heterogenous ITS systems and their integrated evaluation using approximate dynamic programming (ADP). For this, we introduce a methodology which incorporates the necessary design principles and requirements to address above challenges. Then, we present an integrated systems modeling technique which is used for problem formulation. In addition to problem formulation, it provides a generalist problem solution framework using ADP, which can be applied to multi-domain and heterogenous model problems. To demonstrate domain-specific application of our approach and systems modeling technique, we provide an exemplary model problem and its solution for an autonomous mobility on demand system in a demand responsive transport (DRT) scenario.

This paper presents a Lyapunov formulation of the small-gain theorem for the finite-time input-to-state stability (FTISS) of an interconnected system composed of FTISS subsystems. In addition, an FTISS-Lyapunov function for the entire system is constructed from the FTISS-Lyapunov functions of the subsystems. With respect to the previously developed nonlinear, Lyapunov-based small-gain theorem restricted to input-to-state stability, a new power-function-based scaling technique is proposed to deal with the challenge that a nonlinearly scaled FTISS-Lyapunov function may not retain a decreasing rate as a power function with a positive power less than one.

Load frequency control (LFC) is a key factor to maintain stable frequency in multi-area power systems. As modern power systems evolve from a centralized to distributed paradigm, LFC needs to consider the peer-to-peer (P2P) based scheme that considers limited information from the information-exchange graph for the generator control of each interconnected area. This paper aims to solve a data-driven constrained LQR problem with mean-variance risk constraints and output structured feedback, and applies this framework to solve the LFC problem in multi-area power systems. By reformulating the constrained optimization problem into a minimax problem, the stochastic gradient descent max-oracle (SGDmax) algorithm with zero-order policy gradient (ZOPG) is adopted to find the optimal feedback gain from the learning, while guaranteeing convergence. In addition, to improve the adaptation of the proposed learning method to new or varying models, we construct an emulator grid that approximates the dynamics of a physical grid and performs training based on this model. Once the feedback gain is obtained from the emulator grid, it is applied to the physical grid with a robustness test to check whether the controller from the approximated emulator applies to the actual system. Numerical tests show that the obtained feedback controller can successfully control the frequency of each area, while mitigating the uncertainty from the loads, with reliable robustness that ensures the adaptability of the obtained feedback gain to the actual physical grid.

In this study, a commercial cable termination that employs micro-varistor stress grading is subjected to repetitive impulse voltages, to assess the associated temperature rise. Additionally, a COMSOL® model is developed to further investigate the effectiveness of micro-varistor stress grading on the electric field distribution. The measured and simulated results provide confirmation of the effectiveness of the micro-varistor stress grading cable termination when exposed to repetitive impulse voltages.

Increased congestion of the electromagnetic spectrum has led to an expanded interest in adaptive spectrum sharing techniques. To opportunistically utilize the spectrum, spectrum sensing techniques can be used to dynamically adapt to the spectrum on a pulse-to-pulse basis within a single coherent processing interval (CPI). Although intra-CPI pulse agility allows for more efficient use of the spectrum, it creates unique processing challenges. By transmitting pulses at different intermediate frequencies (IF) within a CPI, the pulses are no longer strictly coherent and, therefore, traditional range-Doppler processing techniques break down. This paper presents a signal model for frequency adaptive linear frequency modulated (LFM) waveforms and analyzes the impact on the slow time phase history. Additionally, a modified backprojection algorithm is presented that compensates for the distortion caused by the frequency hopping to produce a range-Doppler map with a focused target. In addition to the simulated analysis, this work will conclude with an experiment using frequency agile pulsed radar to measure a moving vehicle utilizing an USRP X310 software-defined radio (SDR) as a radar testbed.
