Abstract
Monotone systems are prevalent in models of engineering applications such as transportation and biological networks. In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding a control strategy for a discrete time positive monotone system with bounded uncertainties such that the evolution of the system is guaranteed to be confined to a safe set in the state space for all times. By exploiting monotonicity, we propose an approach to this problem which is based on constraint programming. We find control strategies that are based on repetitions of finite sequences of control actions. We show that, under assumptions made in the paper, safety control of monotone systems does not require state measurement. We demonstrate the results on a signalized urban traffic network, where the safety objective is to keep the traffic flow free of congestion.
