OPTIMAL CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR STOCHASTIC NETWORKS WITH MULTIPLE DECISION MAKERS (2009)

Abstract Decision makers often confront an inability to understand the consequences of interactions within systems of systems (SoS), which can have physical and human components and exhibit hybrid (continuous and discrete) dynamics. The human and physical interactions with the environment … Continue reading

Microscopic Fuel Consumption and Emission Modeling (1998)

Abstract Mathematical models to predict vehicle fuel consumption and emission metrics are presented in this thesis. Vehicle fuel consumption and emissions are complex functions to be approximated in practice due to numerous variables affecting their outcome. Vehicle energy and emissions … Continue reading
