<p>A system and method for operating a plurality of vehicles, the plurality of vehicles being tasked to perform a common task, the method comprising: for each vehicle (2), defining a decision vector by: defining at least one continuous variable; defining at least one discrete variable; and forming into a vector, values for each of the defined variables; and updating the values of the variables in the decision vector of each vehicle (2) by performing a decentralised optimisation process; wherein each variable corresponds to a decision to be made by the corresponding vehicle (2); the decentralised optimisation process comprises determining a function representative of the common task; the function is of the continuous variable(s) and the discrete variable(s); and the discrete variables are constrained in the function to being continuous over a range of values.</p> |
