EACDS: Efficient Approximations of Complex Delayed Systems (2017-2018)
Delays are present everywhere in modelling modern systems such as platoons of vehicles, where delays occur in the communication between vehicles. Delays introduce instability in the system, render the system infinite-dimensional (infinite number of poles impossible to quantify) and may cause loss of the topology leading to high costs affecting the quality of life in the long run, see, e.g., traffic congestions.
The main goal of the project is yielding finite-dimensional accurate approximations preserving desired properties of the given system. These approximations belong to a family of parametrised reduced-order models that match a set of prescribed moments of the given system. High accuracy is achieved through matching the derivatives of the transfer function of the given system. Additional properties are obtained through proper selections of the free parameters of the reduced-order model.
