Truck platooning is a promising technology that enables trucks to travel in formations with small inter-vehicle distances for improved aerodynamics and fuel economy. The real-world transportation system includes a vast number of trucks…
This paper studies a multi-fleet platoon coordination system in transport networks that deploy hubs to form trucks into platoons. The trucks belong to different fleets that are interested in increasing their profits by platooning across…
Profit-sharing is needed within platoons in order for competing transportation companies to collaborate in forming platoons. In this paper, we propose distribution models of the profit designed for vehicles that are located at the same…
This paper considers the problem of hub-based platoon coordination for a large-scale transport system, where trucks have individual utility functions to optimize. An event-triggered distributed model predictive control method is proposed to…
As the automotive industry is developing autonomous driving systems and vehicular networks, attention to truck platooning has increased as a way to reduce costs (fuel consumption) and improve efficiency in the highway. Recent research in…
Vehicle platooning facilitates the partial automation of vehicles and can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Mobile communication infrastructure makes it possible to dynamically coordinate the formation of platoons en route. We consider…
We study the strategic interaction among vehicles in a non-cooperative platoon coordination game. Vehicles have predefined routes in a transportation network with a set of hubs where vehicles can wait for other vehicles to form platoons.…
Vehicular platooning is a well-known transportation technique that helps reduce fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and road congestion. When integrated with Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies, platooning enhances the…
With the growing penetration of electric trucks, freight transportation is transitioning toward a mixed system comprising both fuel-powered and electric trucks. Enhancing truck platoon formation in such a heterogeneous environment presents…
This paper addresses the benefit allocation in a mixed-energy truck platoon composed of fuel-powered and electric trucks. The interactions among trucks during platoon formation are modeled as a coalitional game with transferable utility. We…
Ride-pooling, to gain momentum, needs to be attractive for all the parties involved. This includes also drivers, who are naturally reluctant to serve pooled rides. This can be controlled by the platform's pricing strategy, which can…
Autonomous vehicles will be an integral part of ride-sharing services in the future. This setting differs from traditional ride-sharing marketplaces because of the absence of the supply side (drivers). However, it has far-reaching…
Platooning or cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) has been investigated for decades, but debate about its lasting impact is still ongoing. While the benefits of platooning and the formation of platoons are well understood for trucks,…
Truck platooning is a promising transportation mode in which several trucks drive together and thus save fuel consumption by suffering less air resistance. In this paper, we consider a truck platooning system for which we jointly optimize…
Platooning represents an advanced driving technology designed to assist drivers in traffic convoys of varying lengths, enhancing road safety, reducing driver fatigue, and improving fuel efficiency. Sophisticated automated driving assistance…
We consider a profit maximization problem in an urban mobility on-demand service, of which the operator owns a fleet, provides both exclusive and shared trip services, and dynamically determines prices of offers. With knowledge of the…
In this paper we address the problem of dynamic pricing for toll lanes on freeways. The proposed toll mechanism is broken up into two parts: (1) the supply side feedback control that computes the desired split ratios for the incoming…
This paper studies the optimal spatial pricing for a ride-sourcing platform subject to a congestion charge. The platform determines the ride prices over the transportation network to maximize its profit, while the regulatory agency imposes…
Truck drivers are required to stop and rest with a certain regularity according to the driving and rest time regulations, also called Hours-of-Service (HoS) regulations. This paper studies the problem of optimally forming platoons when…
This paper studies the optimal hub-based platoon formation at hubs along a highway under decentralized, distributed, and centralized policies. Hubs are locations along highways where trucks can wait for other trucks to form platoons. A…
