EQUILIBRIUM NETWORK CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1987
Abstract The paper starts by describing the state of art about the problems related to the computation of control system parameters and equilibrium flows for an urban traffic network. Then a procedure to approach this general problem is proposed. This procedure is built up combining algorithms designed for: i) junction green scheduling, ii) signal ...

Voluntary control of postural equilibrium patterns

Behavioural Brain Research, 2003
The ability to voluntarily transit from one whole-body movement to another is based on the multisensory integration of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory information. The role of functional sensory ranges and mechanical constraints on the ability to voluntarily transit between whole-body movements was studied by requiring subjects to switch from a ...

Local equilibrium controllability of the triaxial attitude control testbed

Proceedings of the 41st IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2002., 2003
Local configuration controllability and local equilibrium controllability of the Triaxial attitude control testbed (TACT) are studied. The TACT is controlled only by a class of actuators referred to as shape actuators. This implies that there is a conserved quantity and there is a base body equilibrium manifold at each fixed shape.

Controlling Attractivity of Friction-Induced Equilibrium Sets

Proceedings of the 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2006
The dynamics of mechanical systems with dry friction elements, modeled by set-valued force laws, can be described by differential inclusions. The switching and setvalued nature of the friction force law is responsible for the hybrid character of such models.

Control of equilibrium and trajectory of a remotely controlled bicycle

Engineering Solutions for the Next Millennium. 1999 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (Cat. No.99TH8411), 2003
A reduced model of a bicycle equipped with a stabilisation system was developed in the Mechatronics Laboratory of the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering of the Sherbrook University. First, a PI gain controller was conceived for making it possible to pilot the bicycle by radio control.

Free work and control of equilibrium configurations

ANNALI DELL UNIVERSITA DI FERRARA, 2003
Summary: Let \(C_*\) be an equilibrium configuration of a thermo-visco-elastic material. The paper aims to reach three objectives; i) control of perturbations to \(C_*\) in terms of the data, if forces are conservatives, and \(C_*\) is a local proper minimum for the total energy \(\mathcal E\); ii) asymptotic decay to zero of perturbations to \(C_ ...

Control of Chemical Equilibrium by Noise

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2004
We formulate a theory of reactive transport in the presence of environmental fluctuations that restart a transfer attempt, such as, for instance, during charge transfer through an intermediate state on a fluctuating bridge. It is shown that the rate and statistics of the fluctuations affect the steady-state populations of the reactants and products and

Rent Control and General Equilibrium

Journal of Housing Economics, 1995
Abstract This paper develops a life cycle general equilibrium model of rent control. Households choose between renter and owner profiles based on utility maximization. Owners have a lower user cost of capital, but must save for a downpayment to purchase a house. Rent control results in low-quality housing being built, but no shortage in the number of

Internal equilibrium control of a bicycle

Proceedings of 1995 34th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2002
Internal equilibrium control is applied to the problem of path-tracking with balance for the bicycle using steering and rear-wheel torque as inputs. From the internal dynamics of the bicycle an internal equilibrium manifold, a submanifold of the state-space, is constructed.
