This paper is about trajectory tracking for discrete event systems. The main contribution is to compute incrementally control sequences with minimal or near-minimal length based on a partial exploration of the Petri net (PN) reachability graph and inspired by the model predictive control approach. The method is suitable for bounded and unbounded PNs, for PNs with weighted arcs and with some uncontrollable transitions. Finally forbidden markings or regions of markings are easily avoided with the proposed approach that can be used for supervisory control issues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
