CIVE 7155 — Dynamics and Control of Infrastructure Systems
4 semester hoursGraduateLecture
Introduces the fundamentals of modeling, optimization, and control of dynamic and automated infrastructure systems. The future of infrastructure engineering will be increasingly automated: building automation systems, autonomous vehicles, smart-grids, and responsive pollution controls. Emphasizes linear systems, including continuous and discrete-time systems, but also presents elementary concepts in nonlinear systems. Additional topics include stability, observers, optimal control, system identification, and cyber-physical system architectures. Offers students an opportunity to acquire practical and theoretical knowledge of control technologies and to apply these modern tools to a semester-long project in their area of interest and to develop the analytical, numerical, and conceptual methods necessary for careers in the emerging field of automated infrastructure systems.
