Feedback control of the COVID-19 pandemic with guaranteed non-exceeding ICU capacity

In this paper we investigate feedback control techniques for the COVID-19 pandemic which are able to guarantee that the capacity of available intensive care unit beds is not exceeded. The control signal models the social distancing policies enacted by local policy makers. We propose a control design...

description In this paper we investigate feedback control techniques for the COVID-19 pandemic which are able to guarantee that the capacity of available intensive care unit beds is not exceeded. The control signal models the social distancing policies enacted by local policy makers. We propose a control design based on the bang–bang funnel controller which is robust with respect to uncertainties in the parameters of the epidemiological model and only requires measurements of the number of individuals who require medical attention. Simulations illustrate the efficiency of the proposed controller.
