Science in pictures To the point: Closed-loop scheduling and control of waterborne AGVs for energy-efficient Inter Terminal Transport "We propose closed-loop energy-efficient scheduling and control of an autonomous Inter Terminal Transport (ITT) system using waterborne Autonomous Guided Vessels (waterborne AGVs). A novel pick-up and delivery problem considering safe intervals between berthing time slots of different waterborne AGVs is proposed. Waterborne AGVs are controlled in a cooperative distributed way to carry out assigned ..." [More...] Closed-loop scheduling and control of waterborne AGVs for energy-efficient Inter Terminal Transport.

During maneuvering, the dynamics of propellers as well as the craft hy-drodynamical specifications experience sever uncertainties. In this paper, anadaptive control approach is proposed to control the motion and trajectorytracking of an autonomous vessel by adopting neural networks that is used f..." [More...] Adaptive control for autonomous ships with uncertain model and unknown propeller dynamics.

Inland corridors become increasingly interconnected in hinterland networks. To minimize operating costs, new methods are required that allow integral network operations management. The network operations consist of allocating containers to available inland transportation services, i.e. planning. Fo..." [More...] Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks. B. van Riessen, R.R. Negenborn, G. Lodewijks, R. Dekker.

The couplings between these two systems are modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In this paper, we propose an extension of this distributed cont..." [More...] Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems. M. Arnold, R.R. Negenborn, G.
