Abstract

We introduce a tool for simulation and optimization of gas pipeline networks coupled to power grids by gas-to-power plants. The model under consideration consists of the isentropic Euler equations to describe the gas flow coupled to the AC powerflow equations. A compressor station [...]

Abstract

International audience; Air traffic management ensures the safety of flight by optimizing flows and maintaining separation between aircraft. After giving some definitions, some typical feature of aircraft trajectories are presented. Trajectories are objects belonging to spaces with [...]

Abstract

The most used algae cultivation systems are the open-channel raceway ponds for their low maintenance and energy costs. Raceways allow algal cultivation using wastewater, where algae mass can be employed as source for bioenergy production. One of the main external factors influencing [...]

Abstract

In this work we present a new strategy, employing optimal control techniques of partial differential equations, to automate the optimization of locations for a given number of exit doors at gathering places, so that the evacuation of crowds takes place in a safer and faster way. [...]

Abstract

network-wide coordination system for heavy-duty vehicle platooning with the purpose of reducing fuel consumption is developed. Road freight is by far the dominating mode for overland transport with over 60 % modal share in the OECD countries and is thus critically important for the [...]

Abstract

The fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles can be reduced by using information about the upcoming road section when controlling the vehicles. Most manufacturers of heavy-duty vehicles today offer such look-ahead controllers for highway driving, where the information consists of the [...]
