The prevalence of high-speed vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication will likely significantly influence the future of vehicle autonomy. In several autonomous driving applications, however, the role such systems will play is seldom…
Traffic congestion has large economic and social costs. The introduction of autonomous vehicles can potentially reduce this congestion by increasing road capacity via vehicle platooning and by creating an avenue for influencing people's…

Steering traffic in cities is a very complex task, since improving efficiency involves the coordination of many actors. Traditional approaches attempt to optimize traffic lights for a particular density and configuration of traffic. The…
Anticipation in traffic means that drivers estimate their leaders' velocities for future timesteps. In the article a specific stochastic car--following model with non--unique flow--density relation is investigated with respect to…
It is known that autonomous cars can increase road capacities by maintaining a smaller headway through vehicle platooning. Recent works have shown that these capacity increases can influence vehicles' route choices in unexpected ways…
We illustrate that the electrification of our transport system might impose unnecessary extra congestion and delay for daily commuting passengers. By modelling travel behaviors of these passengers, it is found that more of them tend to…
Statistical mechanics of a small system of cars on a single-lane road is developed. The system is not characterized by a Hamiltonian but by a conditional probability of a velocity of a car for the given velocity and distance of the car…
Although advanced traffic management systems can deal with the heterogeneous traffic flows approaching of intersections, their performances are compromised, when the traffic volume is not distributed uniformly. To evenly distribute the…
In transportation systems (e.g. highways, railways, airports), traffic flows with distinct origin-destination pairs usually share common facilities and interact extensively. Such interaction is typically stochastic due to natural…
A critical analysis of the effect of autonomous driving vehicles on traffic breakdown in mixed traffic flow is made. Classical adaptive cruise control (ACC) and ACC based on three-phase traffic theory (TPACC) are considered. We show that…
The theory of urban traffic flow has been developed and new types of meta-automata have emerged and simulate realistic traffic conditions relatively well. Among these models, the brake light model can simulate the three-phase traffic flow…
The 4th generation of district heating systems face a potential problem where lowered water temperatures lead to higher flow rates, which requires higher hydraulic capacity in terms of pipe and pump sizes. This increases the effect of the…
Accurate modeling of lower-level controller plays an important role in the traffic flow of automated vehicles (AVs). However, there lacks enough attention with this respect. To address this issue, we conduct a field experiment with two…
