33 Optimal control solution synthesis E.g. if the MFD shapes are approximated by second order polynomial functions, then the obtained singular curve n 1 (t) = θ(n 2 (t)) is linear: u 1(t) = 1 u 2, u 2(t) = u 2, n 1 (t) < θ(n 2 (t)), u 1 (t) = u 1, u 2 (t) = 1 u 1, n 1 (t) > θ(n 2 (t)), singular control n 1 (t) n 1 (t) = θ(n 2 (t)). G1(n1) n1 < G2(n2) n2 u 1(t) = u 1, u 2(t) = 1 u 1 Singular control G1(n1) n1 = G2(n2) n2 u 1(t) = 1 u 2, u 2(t) = u 2 G1(n1) n1 > G2(n2) n2 n 2 (t) Optimal Perimeter Control Synthesis for Two Urban Regions with Boundary Queue Dynamics 24 / 3

34 Optimal control solution synthesis Kelley condition Kelley condition: Second order necessary condition of optimality for the singular arc where q is a so-called degree of singularity. ( 1) q ( d 2q ) H u dt 2q, u H =S(t) = p n1 (t) p n2 (t) = P n1 (t) P n2 (t), u 2 d 2q dt 2q H u 2 = d2 S dt 2 = P n1(t) { 2 G 1 (n 1 ) [q n 2 11 (t) + q 12 (t) G 1 (n 1 ) + d u 2 (t) ] 1 2 G 2 (n 2 ) [q n 2 21 (t) + q 22 (t) G 2 (n 2 ) + (1 u 2 (t)) d ]}, 2 ( ) ( 1) q d 2q H u 2 dt 2q = P n1 (t) (a + b) d. u 2 a <, b <, and P n1 (t) is also negative Kelley condition is satisfied. Optimal Perimeter Control Synthesis for Two Urban Regions with Boundary Queue Dynamics 25 / 3

35 Optimal control solution synthesis Switching from unbounded to (state-)constrained trajectories unbounded trajectories might switch to constrained trajectories, before entering to the singular arc, if the upper or lower state constraint becomes active. E.g. : the upper bound n 12 (t) = n 12 Switching function S(t) (coefficient of u 2 (t)) S(t) = p n1 (t) p n21 (t) p n2 (t) + p n12 (t) λ λ λ1 12 λ1 21. λ 1 12 (t) will become positive such that the switching function S(t) =. ds/dt will be held equal to zero by applying corresponding values of λ 1 12 (t), and the upper boundary singular control will be applied such that n 12 (t) = n 12 is satisfied. The upper boundary singular control inputs are calculated from dn 12 /dt =, i.e. u 1 (t) = q 12(t)/d, u 2 (t) = 1 u 1 (t). Switching to a lower state constraint can be analyzed in a similar way.
