A model predictive scheduling strategy for coordinated inland vessel navigation and bridge operation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThis paper presents the design of a model predictive scheduling strategy to address the inland waterborne transport (IWT) problem considering bridges that must open to enable vessel passage. The main contribution is the ... -
Adaptive learning of inland ship power propulsion under environmental disturbances
(2022-10)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents an adaptive approximation-based scheme for learning a partially known ship power propulsion plant under various environmental conditions. Considering the effect of water depth on the engine power, a ... -
An MHE-based MPC strategy for simultaneous energy generation maximization and water level management in inland waterways
(2022-09-19)
Article

Cellular automata model on AIS-based for variable two-way waterway
(OmniaScience, 2015-07)
Article
Open AccessPurpose: We aim at “heavy traffic direction” and “light traffic direction” in two-way waterway traffic and attempt to promote the transit capacity of two-way waterway system. Design/methodology/approach: We propose ... -
Development of a Python tool based on model predictive control for an optimal management of the Calais canal
(2022-10)
Article
Open AccessModel predictive control (MPC) has been widely employed to control a large variety of water systems, such as dams, irrigation canals, inland waterways, drinking water networks and wastewater treatment plants. Its predictive ... -
El transporte comercial en el sistema fluvial de europa
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-12)
UPC Master thesis
Open AccessLa navegación fluvial es un método extraordinario de transporte, por el simple hecho de seguir el flujo de los ríos transportando inmensas cantidades de carga o crear experiencias singulares a cientos de miles de ... -
Gray-Box model of inland navigation channel: application to the Cuinchy–Fontinettes reach
(2014-02-22)
Article
Open AccessIn a context of global change, inland navigation transport has gained interest with economic and environmental benefits. The development of this means of conveyance requires the improvement of its management rules to deal ... -
