Abstract
The problem of determining real-time (episode) air pollution control strategies for an urban airshed is posed as selecting those control measures from among all possible such that air quality is maintained at a certain level over a given time period and the total control imposed is minimum. The real-time control is based on meteorological predictions made over a several-hour to several-day period. A computational algorithm is developed for solving the class of control problems that result. The theory is applied to a hypothetical study of the effect of implementation of the optimal control on September 29, 1969, in the Los Angeles basin.
