Leveraging the accuracy and consistency of vehicle motion control enabled by the connected and automated vehicle technology, we propose the rhythmic control (RC) scheme that allows vehicles to pass through an intersection in a conflict-free…

This paper designs traffic signal control policies for a network of signalized intersections without knowing the demand and parameters. Within a model predictive control (MPC) framework, control policies consist of an algorithm that…

Max-pressure (MP) control has emerged as a prominent real-time network traffic signal control strategy due to its simplicity, decentralized structure, and theoretical guarantees of network queue stability. Meanwhile, advances in connected…

We propose a distributed algorithm for controlling traffic signals, allowing constraints such as periodic switching sequences of phases and minimum and maximum green time to be incorporated. Our algorithm is adapted from backpressure…

Signal-free intersections are a representative application of smart and connected vehicle technologies. Although extensive results have been developed for trajectory planning and autonomous driving, the formulation and evaluation of vehicle…

The back-pressure algorithm is a well-known throughput-optimal algorithm. However, its delay performance may be quite poor even when the traffic load is not close to network capacity due to the following two reasons. First, each node has to…

This dissertation proposes two solutions for urban traffic control in the presence of connected and automated vehicles. First a centralized platoon-based controller is proposed for the cooperative intersection management problem that takes…

Backpressure (BP) routing is a well-established framework for distributed routing and scheduling in wireless multi-hop networks. However, the basic BP scheme suffers from poor end-to-end delay due to the drawbacks of slow startup, random…

To reduce the latency of Backpressure (BP) routing in wireless multi-hop networks, we propose to enhance the existing shortest path-biased BP (SP-BP) and sojourn time-based backlog metrics, since they introduce no additional time step-wise…

Coordination in traffic signal control is crucial for managing congestion in urban networks. Existing pressure-based control methods focus only on immediate upstream links, leading to suboptimal green time allocation and increased network…

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 this paper, methods have been explored to effectively optimise traffic signal control to minimise waiting times and queue lengths, thereby increasing traffic flow. The traffic intersection was first defined as a Markov Decision Process,…

While bringing convenience to people, the growing number of vehicles on road already cause inevitable traffic congestion. Some traffic congestion happen with observable reasons, but others occur without apparent reasons or bottlenecks,…

We investigate the problem of coordinating human-driven vehicles in road intersections without any traffic lights or signs by issuing speed advices. The vehicles in the intersection are assumed to move along an a priori known path and to be…

We introduce a nonlinear cruise controller that is fully decentralized (by vehicle) and uses spacing and speed measurements from the preceding and following vehicles to decide on the appropriate control action (acceleration) for each…

Monotone systems, also known as order-preserving or cooperative systems, are prevalent in models of engineering applications such as transportation and biological networks. In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding a control…

This study proposes a delay-compensated feedback controller based on proximal policy optimization (PPO) reinforcement learning to stabilize traffic flow in the congested regime by manipulating the time-gap of adaptive cruise…

An important question for the practical applicability of the highly efficient traffic intersection control is about the minimal level of intelligence the vehicles need to have so as to move beyond the traffic light control. We propose an…

Lyapunov drift and Lyapunov optimization are powerful techniques for optimizing time averages in stochastic queueing networks subject to stability. However, there are various definitions of queue stability in the literature, and the most…

This article provides an overview of the design of nonlinear feedback Cruise Controllers (CCs) for automated vehicles on lane-free roads. The feedback design problem is particularly challenging because of the various state constraints…
