Science in pictures To the point: Hybrid model predictive control using time-instant optimization for the Rhine-Meuse Delta "In order to provide safety against high sea water levels, in many low-lying countries on the one hand dunes are maintained at a certain safety level and dikes are built, while on the other hand large control structures that can be dynamically controlled are constructed. Currently, these structures are often operated purely locally, without coordination on actions between different structures. Auto..." [More...] H. van Ekeren, R.R. Negenborn, P.J. van Overloop, B. De Schutter. Hybrid model predictive control using time-instant optimization for the Rhine-Meuse Delta.

However, considerable challenges need to be met before in-tegrating the applications in the current environment. Moreover, infrastructures in ports and waterways need to be upgraded to satisfy the requirements for ASV applications. To have an insight into the potential of ASVs in ports, we analyze the applications of..." [More...] A. Devaraju, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn.

This paper proposes a novel cost-effective robust distributed control approach for waterborne AGVs. The overall system is uncertain and has independent subsystem dynamics but coupling objectives and state constraints. Waterborne AGVs determine their actions in a parallel way, whil..." [More...] H.

Many ASV projects have been successfully realized, and as many are still under development. In literature there is a lack in research about different applications and suitable environments for the deployment of ASV. In our previous paper [44], we introduced the emerging concept of autonomous vessels. A multi-layer multi-..." [More...] M. Schiaretti, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn.

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.
