This paper presents a model-based approach for continuously adapting an engine calibration to the traffic and changing pollutant emission limits. The proposed strategy does not need additional experimental tests beyond ...

[EN] An optimal solution to the energy management problem in hybrid electric vehicles has been extensively addressed in the literature during the last decade, especially with the application of dynamic programming, the ...

[EN] This paper addresses the optimal control of a long-haul passenger train to deliver minimum-fuel operations. Contrary to the common Pontryagin minimum principle approach in railroad-related literature, this work addresses ...

[EN] The aim of this master thesis is to study the state of art of reinforment learning, particularly those based on policy search methods and to apply such techniques to a 3DOFs inverted pendulum mechanism. The controller ...

[ES] Para cumplir los límites de emisiones impuestos por los gobiernos y reducir el impacto negativo en el medio ambiente, el uso de sistemas de postratamiento (ATS) se ha convertido en algo esencial para los motores de ...

[EN] This paper deals with the problem of optimal control design for linear network control systems (NCS) with L2-gain disturbance rejection. Networked control systems close the control loop using a communication network, ...

During the last decade, hybrid electric vehicles have gained a presence in the automotive market. On the streets, in motorsports and in society, hybrid electric vehicles are increasingly common. Many manufacturers have ...

[EN] We model a wireless sensors' connectivity scenario mathematically and analyze it using capacity provision mechanisms, with the objective of maximizing the profits of a network operator. The scenario has several sensors' ...

[EN] Coalitional control is a fairly new branch of distributed control where the agents merge dynamically into coalitions according to the enabled/disabled communication links at each time instant. Therefore, with these ...

[EN] The increasing fuel price and strict emissions regulations are leading the increase in complexity of engines with innovative constructive solutions such as low and high pressure EGR, in-cylinder pressure measuring, ...
