Safety-Critical Control of Compartmental Epidemiological Models with Measurement Delays	2020-09-22		.txt	text/plain	4202	327	64	We introduce a methodology to guarantee safety against the spread of infectious diseases by viewing epidemiological models as control systems and by considering human interventions (such as quarantining or social distancing) as control input. We consider a generalized compartmental model that represents the form of the most popular epidemiological models and we design safety-critical controllers that formally guarantee safe evolution with respect to keeping certain populations of interest under prescribed safe limits. The parameters β 0 = 0.33 day −1 , γ = 0.2 day −1 and N = 33 × 10 6 of the SIR model were fitted following the algorithm in [10] to the recorded number of confirmed cases I + R [31] between March 25 and August 9, 2020, while the control input u(t), that represents the level of quarantining and social distancing, was identified from mobility data [32] based on the medium time people spent home.	./cache/cord-190495-xpfbw7lo.txt	./txt/cord-190495-xpfbw7lo.txt
