Autonomous vehicles (AV) is an advanced technology that can bring convenience, improve the road-network throughput, and reduce traffic accidents. To enable higher levels of automation (LoA), massive amounts of sensory data need to be…

We consider the problem of a single Autonomous Vehicle (AV) merging into traffic consisting only of Human Driven Vehicles (HDVs) with the goal of minimizing both the travel time and energy consumption of the entire group of vehicles…

We study the ability of autonomous vehicles to improve the throughput of a bottleneck using a fully decentralized control scheme in a mixed autonomy setting. We consider the problem of improving the throughput of a scaled model of the San…

With the advent of autonomous driving technologies, traffic control at intersections is expected to experience revolutionary changes. Various novel intersection control methods have been proposed in the existing literature, and they can be…

Moving bottlenecks, such as slow-driving vehicles, are commonly thought of as impediments to efficient traffic flow. Here, we demonstrate that in certain situations, moving bottlenecks---properly controlled---can actually be beneficial for…

Free-flow road networks, such as suburban highways, are increasingly experiencing traffic congestion due to growing commuter inflow and limited infrastructure. Traditional control mechanisms, such as traffic signals or local heuristics, are…

Road congestion induces significant costs across the world, and road network disturbances, such as traffic accidents, can cause highly congested traffic patterns. If a planner had control over the routing of all vehicles in the network,…

Both humans and the sensors on an autonomous vehicle have limited sensing capabilities. When these limitations coincide with scenarios involving vulnerable road users, it becomes important to account for these limitations in the motion…

Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are widely expected to improve traffic safety and efficiency by exploiting information from surrounding vehicles via V2V communication. A CAV typically adapts its speed based on information from the…

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), unlike conventional cars, will utilise the whole space of intersections and cross in a lane-free order. This paper formulates such a lane-free crossing of intersections as a multi-objective optimal…

Earlier work has established a decentralized optimal control framework for coordinating online a continuous flow of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) entering a control zone and crossing two adjacent intersections in an urban area. A…

Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology is advancing rapidly, promising a significant shift in road transportation safety and potentially resolving various complex transportation issues. With the increasing deployment of AVs by various…

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…

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) technologies promise to attenuate undesired traffic disturbances. However, in mixed traffic where human-driven vehicles (HDVs) also exist, the nonlinear human-driving behavior has brought critical…

The rapid development of autonomous vehicles spurred a careful investigation of the potential benefits of all-autonomous transportation networks. Most studies conclude that autonomous systems can enable drastic improvements in performance.…

Based on fluid-dynamic and many-particle (car-following) simulations of traffic flows in (urban) networks, we study the problem of coordinating incompatible traffic flows at intersections. Inspired by the observation of self-organized…

The development of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) offers substantial opportunities to enhance traffic efficiency. However, in mixed autonomy environments where CAVs coexist with human-driven vehicles (HDVs), achieving efficient…

Interactions between road users are both highly non-linear and profoundly complex, and there is no reason to expect that interactions between autonomous vehicles will be any different. Given the recent rapid development of autonomous…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) hold vast potential to enhance transportation systems by reducing congestion, improving safety, and lowering emissions. AV controls lead to emergent traffic phenomena; one such intriguing phenomenon is traffic…

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are about to be used in transportation systems in the near future. To increase the level of safety and throughput of these vehicles, dedicated lanes for AVs have been suggested in past studies as exclusive mobility…
