Abstract
For several reasons, control of transportation networks like road traffic
networks, power transmission networks, water distribution networks, etc. has to
be done using a multi-agent control approach. We consider a multi-agent control
approach in which each control agent uses Model Predictive Control (MPC) to
determine its actions. Each control agent uses a model of its subnetwork and
communication with its neighboring control agents to come to agreement on the
evolution of interconnections and to determine optimal local inputs and states.
The challenge that is addressed in this paper comes from the situation that
arises when the models that the agents use contain
both
continuous
and discrete elements, instead of one of the
two exclusively. We propose an approach that deals with this hybrid behavior
and results in agreement between the agents with respect to the evolution of
interconnections and that moreover provides integer inputs to obtain these
evolutions.
