Abstract:
In this report we consider control of large-scale transportation
systems. Automated sorting machines and baggage handling are taken as
examples of transportation systems. We discuss the state-of-the-art in
control of these systems, and we indicate potential benefits and open
problems when applying advanced control methods like (centralized)
model predictive control (MPC), multi-agent control, and distributed
MPC.
