Autonomy and connectivity are considered among the most promising technologies to improve safety, mobility, fuel and time consumption in transportation systems. Some of the fuel efficiency benefits of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs)…
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…
Truck platooning is a technology that is expected to become widespread in the coming years. Apart from the numerous benefits that it brings, its potential effects on the overall traffic situation need to be studied further, especially at…
Truck platooning refers to a series of trucks driving in close proximity via communication technologies, and it is considered one of the most implementable systems of connected and automated vehicles, bringing huge energy savings and safety…
The paper investigates the features of emissions and fuel consumption (EFC) in a car-following (CF) platoon based on two experimental datasets. Four classical EFC models are employed and a universal concave growth pattern of the EFC along a…
The problem of maximizing the probability of two trucks being coordinated to merge into a platoon on a highway is considered. Truck platooning is a promising technology that allows heavy vehicles to save fuel by driving with small…
Platooning connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) provide significant benefits in terms of traffic efficiency and fuel economy. However, most existing platooning systems assume the availability of pre-determined plans, which is not…
As connected and autonomous vehicles become more widespread, platooning has emerged as a key strategy to improve road capacity, reduce fuel consumption, and enhance traffic flow. However, the benefits of platoons strongly depend on their…
We consider the fuel-optimal coordination of trucks into platoons. Truck platooning is a promising technology that enables trucks to save significant amounts of fuel by driving close together and thus reducing air drag. We study how…
In this paper we present a prediction-based Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Controller for vehicles with actuation delay, applicable within heterogeneous platoons. We provide a stability analysis for the discrete-time implementation of this…
Despite growing interest in vehicle platooning research, the effect of communication capability between platoons is not investigated to a depth of depth. In this paper, we extend a single-platoon car-following (CF) model to multi-platoon CF…
Platooning of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) plays a vital role in modernizing highways, ushering in enhanced efficiency and safety. This paper explores the significance of platooning in smart highways, employing a coupled partial…
We propose a simple and effective method to derive the Fundamental Diagram (FD) from platoon vehicle trajectories. Average traffic state variables are computed using Edie's generalized definitions within time-dependent trapezoidal…
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) have received a lot of attention in recent years. However, there are still numerous challenges in this field. In this paper, we investigated the effects of dynamic-flexible platooning on travel time…
A three-member platoon of Ahmed bodies was studied to investigate the effects of drag variation when the middle member goes out of synchronization and starts to oscillate longitudinally. Oscillations were carried out at two different…
We introduce an atomic congestion game with two types of agents, cars and trucks, to model the traffic flow on a road over various time intervals of the day. Cars maximize their utility by finding a trade-off between the time they choose to…
The automotive industry is under growing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, requiring accurate predictive modeling to support sustainable engineering design. This study examines the factors that determine vehicle fuel consumption…
Freight transportation is of outmost importance for our society and is continuously increasing. At the same time, transporting goods on roads accounts for about 26% of all energy consumption and 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the…
This paper investigates the impact of rigid communication topologies (RCTs) on the performance of vehicular platoons, aiming to identify beneficial features in RCTs that enhance vehicles behavior. We introduce four performance metrics,…
Drivers have distinctively diverse behaviors when operating vehicles in natural traffic flow, such as preferred pedal position, car-following distance, preview time headway, etc. These highly personalized behavioral variations are known to…
