Collaborative Optimization Design for Centralized Networked Control System

This paper proposes a collaborative optimization design for a kind of centralized networked control system based on jitter. After the analysis of the network delay and jitter on the performance of the Train Networked Control System (TNCS) based on the MVB (Multifunction Vehicle Bus) network, the proposed strategy modifies the media allocating model of MVB directly related to the performance of the control system. Under the premise of ensuring the stability of the control system, and taking into account the impact of transmission jitter on the dynamic performance of the closed-loop control, this collaborative design method can minimize the network resource occupancy rate of the subsystem. Thus, it can overcome schedule failure in the traditional algorithm that excessively occupies network resources in order to reduce jitter. Finally, the authors present an algorithm based on EDA to find the optimal solution of the proposed strategy and illustrate the effectiveness of the strategy through numerical simulation and experimental tests.
