Highway bottlenecks caused by traffic incidents, lane drop, ramp merging or slow vehicles negatively impact traffic mobility and safety. Traffic regulation techniques, such as adjusting speed limits, providing lane-change recommendations, and restricting on-ramp vehicle inputs with traffic signals in response to an incident, have been found to miti...
California sits at the epicenter of self-driving vehicle technology development, with numerous companies testing connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in the state. CAVs have the potential to improve safety and increase mobility for children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. These vehicles will operate more efficiently, use less space o...
Connectivity between vehicles and infrastructure allows the efficient flow of information in a dynamic traffic environment. This information can be used to provide recommendations to vehicles in order to alleviate traffic congestion, improve mobility with considerable benefits to the environment. The traffic flow environment however is very complex...
Connected vehicles (CVs) can considerably contribute to traffic control in the near future by providing real-time information. Such information can be exploited to identify the current traffic condition. However, challenges resulting from a high volume of data and lack of perfect knowledge in mixed traffic scenarios (consisting of CVs and conventio...
This paper presents a comprehensive study on the impact of information flow topologies on the resilience of distributed algorithms that are widely used for estimation and control in vehicle platoons. In the state of the art, the influence of information flow topology on both internal and string stability of vehicle platoons has been well studied. H...
