Traffic light recognition is essential for fully autonomous driving in urban areas. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of fooling traffic light recognition mechanisms by shedding laser interference on the camera. By exploiting…
Recognizing a traffic signal, determining if the signal is green or red, and figuring out the time left to cross the crosswalk are significant challenges to visually impaired people. Previous research has focused on recognizing only two…

We address the problem of optimal transport with a quadratic cost functional and a constraint on the flux through a constriction along the path. The constriction, conceptually represented by a toll station, limits the flow rate across. We…
We consider traffic flows described by conservation laws. We study a 2:1 junction (with two incoming roads and one outgoing road) or a 1:2 junction (with one incoming road and two outgoing roads). At the mesoscopic level, the priority law…
