In this paper we apply a multiobjective optimization model of Smart Growth to land development. The term Smart Growth is meant to describe development strategies-that do not promote urban sprawl. However, the term is ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of dynamically regulating the timing of traffic light controllers in busy cities. We use a Stochastic Fluid Model (SFM) to model the dynamics of the queues formed at an intersection. Based on this model, we derive gradients of the queue lengths with respect to the green/red light lengths within a signal cycle. We report preliminary numerical results comparing the performance of the estimates with finite-difference and smoothed perturbation analysis estimates. Then all estimators are used to optimize the traffic system via Stochastic Approximation.

A real-time optimizing (RTO) controller for the blending of crude oil is presented. The RTO controller uses a non-linear “bias-update” technique and measurements of crude component properties to provide optimal blend flows. Two typical operating scenarios are considered for the blending of two inputs. The objective of the first scenario is to keep a constant flow of blended crude with a minimum production cost. The second case considers maximizing the amount of the heavier crude input while maintaining constant the flow rate of the lighter crude input. Simulation results are compared with historic data of a real blending process, showing the convergence properties and efficiency of the RTO controller.

In this paper a synchronization controller for differential mobile robots is proposed. The synchronization goal is to control the angular position of each wheel to a desired trajectory and at the same time the differential (or synchronization) error between the angular position of the two wheels. In this way it is ensured that the mobile robot follows the desired path trajectory with the proper orientation. The controller is based on a computed torque architecture and a set of observers to estimate the angular velocity of the wheels. So that the controller only requires angular position measurements of the wheels.

A controller that solves the problem of position synchronization of two (or more) robot systems, under a cooperative scheme, in the case when only position measurements are available, is presented. The synchronization controller consists of a feedback control law and a set of nonlinear observers. It is shown that the controller yields semi-global exponential convergence of the synchronization closed loop errors. Experimental results show, despite obvious model uncertainties, a good agreement with the predicted convergence.

In this paper we present a controller that solves the problem of position coordination of two (or more) robotic systems, under a master-slave scheme, in the case when only position measurements are available. The controller consists of a feedback control law and two nonlinear observers. It is shown that the controller yields semi-global ultimate uniformly boundedness of the closed loop errors and a relation between the bound of the errors and the gains on the controller is established. Experimental results show, despite obvious model uncertainties, a good agreement with the predicted convergence.
