Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back New methods of formalization of objectives of automated control of mobile objects B.K. NARTOV The paper presents new methods intended for the development of algorithmic support of existing and projected automated systems of trajectory control: 1. The return method based on the alternation of solutions of direct and inverse control problems of mobile objects (PO), which allows to optimally optimize the initial control vector (coordinates) of the software in the tasks of optimal conflict management. 2. The method of elastic trace, analytically taking into account the intersections and self-intersections of bands and tubes, swept out by controlled software, allowing to reduce search problems with distributed factors in the field of control to standard problems of optimal control. 3. The method of fictitious flows, supplementing the dynamic system of the original task of controlling software by a special switch of flows from the object to the object, which allows to include in the initial task parallel optimal redistribution of software resources on any given subinterval of control. The necessary combinations of the presented methods allow developing the implementing algorithms of three types of automated software control tasks: 1. Problem of conflict management of software groups, the characteristics of which deteriorate as a result of the impact of other objects, aging and the impact of external factors. 2. The task of searching fixed targets with given coordinate distributions, including – with the risk of death of search units. 3. Problems of discrete optimization with the participation of software, for example, multicriteria optimal traversal or control tasks.
