Point-to-point and periodic motions are ubiquitous in the world of robotics. To master these motions, Autonomous Dynamic System (DS) based algorithms are fundamental in the domain of Learning from Demonstration (LfD). However, these…
A multi-class single-server queueing model with finite buffers, in which scheduling and admission of customers are subject to control, is studied in the moderate deviation heavy traffic regime. A risk-sensitive cost set over a finite time…
In our urban life, long distance coaches supply a convenient yet economic approach to the transportation of the public. One notable problem is to discover the abnormal stop of the coaches due to the important reason, i.e., illegal pick up…
This paper proposes a general equilibrium model for multi-passenger ridesharing systems, in which interactions between ridesharing drivers, passengers, platforms, and transportation networks are endogenously captured. Stable matching is…
Existing intelligent driving technology often has a problem in balancing smooth driving and fast obstacle avoidance, especially when the vehicle is in a non-structural environment, and is prone to instability in emergency situations.…
It is commonly seen that buses are blocked by the ones in front serving passengers and have to queue outside a curbside bus stop although there are vacant berths at the stop. The resultant bus delays degrade the service level of urban…
We re-visit the global - relative to control policies - stability of multiclass queueing networks. In these, as is known, it is generally insufficient that the nominal utilization at each server is below 100%. Certain policies, although…
The stability issue emerges as a growing number of diverse power apparatus connecting to the power system. The stability analysis for such power systems is required to adapt to heterogeneity and scalability. This paper derives a local…
The strategy of permitting general traffic to use the bus lane for improved utilization while ensuring bus priority has gained increasingly attention, particularly with the support of vehicle-to-everything technology. In this study, we…
We study real-time routing policies in smart transit systems, where the platform has a combination of cars and high-capacity vehicles (e.g., buses or shuttles) and seeks to serve a set of incoming trip requests. The platform can use its…
This paper proposes an adaptive dynamic programming-based adaptive-gain sliding mode control (ADP-ASMC) scheme for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with matched and unmatched disturbances. Starting from the dynamic of fixed-wing…
To support operations and passenger-facing services, transit agencies need reliable passenger load trajectories. Currently, load estimates are typically inferred from imperfect sensing systems rather than fully observed, and the accuracy of…
