Exploring efficient control strategies for heterogeneously congested urban networks remains a big research challenge. The theory of macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) provides a new perspective for network-wide congestion control decisions. This paper proposes a coordinated perimeter control strategy for multiregion heterogeneous networks based on optimized transfer flows. First, a two-layer network partitioning method is presented to capture spatial heterogeneity dynamics of urban networks. For this partition, traffic flow equilibrium model based on MFD and multiagent based hierarchical traffic management scheme are built. Then, an improved multinomial logit model is developed for deriving optimized transfer flows among multiple congested regions. A coordinated perimeter control strategy using model predictive control is further proposed, which is aimed at tracking desired accumulations of each congested region. As a case study, the proposed control strategy is applied to the downtown network of Jinan, China, using simulation analysis. The results demonstrate that it can achieve balanced network flow distribution and increased mobility.

The basic configuration and operation modes of the series extended-range electric vehicle were analyzed and a new method of engine choice and fuel economy evaluation was proposed. A co-simulation platform is set up with Cruise and Matlab/Simulink to evaluate the rule-based engine on-off and optimal operation line control strategies. The simulation results with typical driving cycles illustrate that: firstly, the engine on-off control strategy makes engine and generator operate on their best efficiency points, and its fuel economy is better than optimal operation line control strategy; secondly, when the optimal operation line control strategy is adopted in Extended-Range Mode, the engine downsizing will be beneficial and the extended-range electric vehicle (E-REV) will achieve a better fuel economy and control effect.

The whole vehicle was divided into eight pieces for establishing the semi-active suspension vehicle mode. The different fuzzy control strategies were designed according to the vertical, heeling and pitching movement of vehicle body. The vertical, heeling and pitching comprehensive vibration of the vehicle were reduced by controlling the output current of the magneto-rheological damper. Simulation analysis was operated with the parameters of a certain type of vehicle, the simulation results show that the method using the fuzzy control strategy can well improve the vehicle riding comfortableness, and its effect is superior to the optimal control.

Abstract The control strategy of driving system for the distributed electric drive DRe20 car of Tongji University DIAN Racing team is developed and optimized according to the competition rules of Formula Student Electric China (FSEC). The VI-grade and Matlab Simulink cosimulation experimental platform is established to study the effects of different dynamic control strategies, such as equal distribution, open-loop electronic differential and limited slip differential, on the performance of the DRe20 racing car. The simulation platform is also used to optimize the control algorithm and the setting of different parameters in the program, then the results of simulation analysis and optimization are applied to the actual car experiment, providing a lot of reference data for the adjustment of suspension system and electronic control system of the DRe20 car. The simulation and actual test results show that the limited slip differential control strategy we developed and optimized in 2020 can give full play to the design performance of the DRe20 car, and the comprehensive performances have been improved compared with those in previous years. The optimized dynamics control strategy has been applied to Tongji DIAN Racing car during the 2020 Formula Student Electric China competition, in which Tongji DIAN Racing Team wins the championship.

Abstract Objective: Evidence-based infection control strategies are needed for healthcare workers (HCWs) following high-risk exposure to severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this study, we evaluated the negative predictive value (NPV) of a home-based 7-day infection control strategy. Methods: HCWs advised by their infection control or occupational health officer to self-isolate due to a high-risk SARS-CoV-2 exposure were enrolled between May and October 2020. The strategy consisted of symptom-triggered nasopharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 RNA testing from day 0 to day 7 after exposure and standardized home-based nasopharyngeal swab and saliva testing on day 7. The NPV of this strategy was calculated for (1) clinical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis from day 8–14 after exposure, and for (2) asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 detected by standardized nasopharyngeal swab and saliva specimens collected at days 9, 10, and 14 after exposure. Interim results are reported in the context of a second wave threatening this essential workforce. Results: Among 30 HCWs enrolled, the mean age was 31 years (SD, ±9), and 24 (80%) were female. Moreover, 3 were diagnosed with COVID-19 by day 14 after exposure (secondary attack rate, 10.0%), and all cases were detected using the 7-day infection control strategy: the NPV for subsequent clinical COVID-19 or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 detection by day 14 was 100.0% (95% CI, 93.1%–100.0%). Conclusions: Among HCWs with high-risk exposure to SARS-CoV-2, a home-based 7-day infection control strategy may have a high NPV for subsequent COVID-19 and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 detection. Ongoing data collection and data sharing are needed to improve the precision of the estimated NPV, and here we report interim results to inform infection control strategies in light of a second wave threatening this essential workforce.

Benchmark problems have been used to evaluate the performance of a variety of robust control design methodologies by many control engineers over the past 2 decades. A benchmark is a simple but meaningful problem to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of different control strategies. This paper verifies the performance of a new control strategy, which is called combined feedforward and feedback control with shaped input (CFFS), through a benchmark problem applied to a two-mass-spring system. CFFS, which consists of feedback and feedforward controllers and shaped input, can achieve high performance with a simple controller design. This control strategy has several unique characteristics. First, the shaped input is designed to extract energy from the flexible modes, which means that a simpler feedback control design based on a rigid-body model can be used. In addition, only a single frequency must be attenuated to reduce residual vibration of both masses. Second, only the dynamics between control force and the first mass need to be considered in designing both feedback and feedforward controllers. The proposed control strategy is applied to a benchmark problem and its performance is compared with that obtained using two alternative control strategies.

The robust H2/<em>H</em>∞ control strategy for a class of linear continuous-time uncertain systems with randomly jumping parameters is investigated. The transition of the jumping parameters is decided by a finite-state Markov process. The uncertainties are supposed to be norm-bounded. It is desired to design a linear state feedback control strategies such that the closed-loop system satisfies H performance and minimizes the H2 norm of the system. A sufficient condition is first established on the existence of the robust H2/<em>H</em>∞controller bases on the bounded real lemma. Then the corresponding state-feedback law is given in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is showed that this condition is equivalent to the feasible solutions problem of LMI. Furthermore, the control strategy design problem is converted into a convex optimization problem subject to LMI constraints, which can be easily solved by standard numerical software.
