Science in pictures To the point: Fast ADMM for distributed model predictive control of cooperative Waterborne AGVs "This article proposes a distributed predictive path following controller with arrival time awareness for multiple waterborne AGVs applied to Inter Terminal Transport (ITT). The goal is to design an efficient cooperative distributed algorithm that solves local problems in parallel and minimizes an overall objective. We model the ITT problem using waterborne AGVs with independent dynamics and object..." [More...] H. Zheng, R.R. Negenborn, G. Lodewijks.

In particular this first paper focuses on the mechanisms of group regulation in social systems. It will be noted that there are major differences between the way in which DMPC algorithms and Social Human Parti..." [More...] P. McNamara, R.R. Negenborn, J.C. Canizares, M. Farina, J.M.

Cooperation between the different transport parties (e.g., terminal managers, forwarders and transport providers) is required to increase the network throughput using the same infrastructure. The intermodal hubs are locations where cargo is stored and can switch transport modality while approachi..." [More...] J.L. Nabais, R.R. Negenborn, R. Carmona-Benitez, M.A. Botto.

The optimal tariffs, port capacities and port efficiency levels under these two regulation modes are determined. The theoretical results are applied to the container terminals in Port of Shanghai in China. Sensitivit..." [More...] S. Zheng, R.R. Negenborn.

The higher-layer controller uses MPC to determine set-points for controllers in a lower control layer. In this paper the use of an object-oriented model of the system for making predictions is proposed. When employing such an object-oriented prediction model the MPC problem is a nonlinear, non-smooth optimi..." [More...] R.R. Negenborn, S. Leirens, B. De Schutter, J. Hellendoorn.
