A networked control system (NCS) is a control system where components such as plants and controllers are connected through communication networks. Self-triggered control is well known as one of the control methods in NCSs and is a control method that for sampled-data control systems both the control input and the aperiodic sampling interval (i.e., the transmission interval) are computed simultaneously. In this paper, a self-triggered model predictive control (MPC) method for discrete-time linear systems with disturbances is proposed. In the conventional MPC method, the first one of the control input sequence obtained by solving the finite-time optimal control problem is sent and applied to the plant. In the proposed method, the first some elements of the control input sequence obtained are sent to the plant, and each element is sequentially applied to the plant. The number of elements is decided according to the effect of disturbances. In other words, transmission intervals can be controlled. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by numerical simulations.

This paper studies the problem of guidance and control for autonomous in-orbit assembly. A six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion control for in-orbit assembly close proximity operation between a service satellite and a target satellite is addressed in detail. The dynamics based on dual quaternion are introduced to dispose the coupling effect between translation and rotation in a succinct frame, in which relevant perturbation and disturbance are involved. With the consideration of economical principle for fuel consume, a generic control system based on model predictive control (MPC) is then designed to generate a suboptimal control sequence for rendezvous trajectory considering actuator output saturation. The stability and robustness issues of the MPC-based control system are analyzed and proved. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control scheme, while additional comparisons for diverse horizons of the MPC are further conducted.

The paper deals with an online optimization control method for dynamical processes called Model Predictive Control (MPC). It is a popular control method in industry and frequently treated in academic areas as well. The standard predictive controllers usually do not guarantee stability especially for the case of short horizons and large control error penalization. Terminal state is one way to ensure stability or at least increase the controller robustness. In the paper, deviation of the predicted terminal state from the desired terminal state is considered as one term of the cost function. Effect of the stability and control quality is demonstrated in the simulated experiments. The application area for online optimization methods is very broad including various logistics and transport problems. If the dynamics of the controlled processes cannot be neglected, the optimization problem must be solved not only for steady state but also for transient behaviour, e.g., by MPC.

For the dynamic optimization and control problem of the signalized arterial network in urban, a dynamic traffic flow model based on multi-phase control is firstly formulated, in which the total number of the retained vehicles through the arterial during the control period is adopted as the optimization objective and the green times and offsets as the control variables. Then a hybrid optimization method based on real-coded genetic algorithm and local search technique is designed to solve the optimization problem. For examining the validity of the optimization and control method proposed, it is applied to a case study with dynamic traffic demands and a large number of simulations show that the dynamic optimization and control method proposed in this paper can work well for the signalized arterial network.

A coagulation process for water purification plants mainly uses feedforward control based on raw water quality and empirical data and requires operator's help. We developed a new floc sensor for measuring floc size in a flush mixer to be used for floc control. A control system using model predictive control was developed on the floc size data. A series of experiments was performed to confirm controllability of settled water quality by controlling flush mixer floc size. An automatic control with feedback from the coagulation process was evaluated as practical and reliable. Finally this new control method was applied for actual plant and evaluated as practical.
