abstract = {In an urban environment, sewer flooding and combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are a potential risk to human life, economic assets and the environment. To mitigate such phenomena, real time control systems represent a valid and cost-effective solution. This paper proposes an urban drainage network equipped by sensors and a series of electronically movable gates controlled by a decentralized real-time system based on a gossip-based algorithm which exhibits good performance and fault tolerance properties. The proposal aims to exploit effectively the storage capacity of the urban drainage network so as to reduce flooding and CSO. The approach is validated by considering the urban drainage system of the city of Cosenza (Italy) and a set of extreme rainfall events as a testbed. Experiments are conducted by using a customized version of the SWMM simulation software and show that the CSO and local flooding volumes are significantly reduced.},

abstract = {This paper focuses on a distributed real time control approach applied to drainage networks. The increasing of urbanization and climate change heightens the challenge for new technologies to be developed for drainage networks. Higher runoff volume, produced by the increase in impervious surfaces and intense rain events, overwhelms the existing urban drainage systems. Recent technical improvements have enabled the exploitation of real-time control on drainage networks. The novelty in this paper regards the use of a totally decentralized approach based on a proper combination of a Gossip-based algorithm, which ensures a global correct behaviour even if local faults occur, and a classic controlling technique (PID) used for local actuations.},
