Timely and reasonable matching of the control parameters and geological conditions of the rock mass in tunnel excavation is crucial for hard rock tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent decision method for the main control parameters of the TBM based on the multi-objective optimization of excavation efficiency and cost. The main objectives of this method are to obtain the most important parameters of the rock mass and machine, determine the optimization objective, and establish the objective function. In this study, muck information was included as an important parameter in the traditional rock mass and machine parameter database. The rock-machine interaction model was established through an improved neural network algorithm. Using 250 sets of data collected in the field, the validity of the rock-machine interaction relationship model was verified. Then, taking the cost as the optimization objective, the cost calculation model related to tunneling and the cutter was obtained. Subsequently, combined with rock-machine interaction model, the objective function of control parameter optimization based on cost was established. Finally, a tunneling test was carried out at the engineering site, and the main TBM control parameters (thrust and torque) after the optimization decision were used to excavate the test section. Compared with the values in the section where the TBM operators relied on experience, the average penetration rate of the TBM increased by 11.10%, and the average cutter life increased by 15.62%. The results indicate that this method can play an effective role in TBM tunneling in the test section.

Based on game theory and dynamic Level-k model, this paper establishes an intelligent traffic control method for intersections, studies the influence of multi-agent vehicle joint decision-making and group behavior disturbance on system state. The simulation results show that this method has a good performance when there are more vehicles or emergency vehicles have higher priority.
The increased uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) leads to increased demand for electricity, and sometime pressure to power grids. Uncoordinated charging of EVs may result in putting pressure on distribution networks, and often some form of optimisation is required in the charging process. Optimal coordinated charging is a multi-objective optimisation problem in nature, with objective functions such as minimum price charging and minimum disruptions to the grid. In this manuscript, we propose a general multi-objective EV charging/discharging schedule (MOEVCS) framework, where the time of use (TOU) tariff is designed according to the load request at each time stamp. To obtain the optimal scheduling scheme and balance the competing benefits from different stakeholders, such as EV owners, EV charging stations (EVCS), and the grid operator, we design three conflicting objective functions including EV owner cost, EVCS profit, and the network impact. Moreover, we create four application scenarios with different charging request distributions over the investigated periods. We use a constraint multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) to solve the problem. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of MOEVCS in making a balance between three conflicting objectives.
In this paper, a distributed learning leader-follower consensus protocol based on Gaussian process regression for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems with unknown dynamics is designed. We propose a distributed learning approach to predict the residual dynamics for each agent. The stability of the consensus protocol using the data-driven model of the dynamics is shown via Lyapunov analysis. The followers ultimately synchronize to the leader with guaranteed error bounds by applying the proposed control law with a high probability. The effectiveness and the applicability of the developed protocol are demonstrated by simulation examples.
Unsignalized intersection cooperation of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) is able to eliminate green time loss of signalized intersections and improve traffic efficiency. Most of the existing research on unsignalized intersection cooperation considers fixed lane direction, where only specific turning behavior of vehicles is allowed on each lane. Given that traffic volume and the proportion of vehicles with different turning expectation may change with time, fixed lane direction may lead to inefficiency at intersections. This paper proposes a multi-lane unsignalized intersection cooperation method that considers flexible lane direction. The two-dimensional distribution of vehicles is calculated and vehicles that are not in conflict are scheduled to pass the intersection simultaneously. The formation reconfiguration method is utilized to achieve collision-free longitudinal and lateral position adjustment of vehicles. Simulations are conducted at different input traffic volumes and turning proportion of incoming vehicles, and the results indicate that our method outperformances the fixed-lane-direction unsignalized cooperation method and the signalized method.
A probabilistic performance-oriented controller design approach based on polynomial chaos expansion and optimization is proposed for flight dynamic systems. Unlike robust control techniques where uncertainties are conservatively handled, the proposed method aims at propagating uncertainties effectively and optimizing control parameters to satisfy the probabilistic requirements directly. To achieve this, the sensitivities of violation probabilities are evaluated by the expansion coefficients and the fourth moment method for reliability analysis, after which an optimization that minimizes failure probability under chance constraints is conducted. Afterward, a time-dependent polynomial chaos expansion is performed to validate the results. With this approach, the failure probability is reduced while guaranteeing the closed-loop performance, thus increasing the safety margin. Simulations are carried out on a longitudinal model subject to uncertain parameters to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
