In this presentation we give an overview of the work done at the Delft Center for Systems and Control in the field of model-based predictive control for max-plus linear systems. Max-plus linear systems are a class of discrete-event systems the behavior of which can be described by state update equations that are linear in the (max,+) algebra. We focus on model predictive control (MPC) for such systems, where a given performance criterion is optimized over a given prediction horizon to determine the optimal control inputs. We show that – depending on the type of performance criterion and constraints – this can result in a linear programming or a mixed linear programming problem. In addition, we also present a general optimization approach for max-plus MPC based on optimistic optimization. Finally we discuss the use of distributed max-plus MPC for large-scale railway networks.
