In this study, we formulate the VSL control problem for the traffic system in a zone upstream to a lane-drop bottleneck based on two traffic flow models: the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model, which is an infinite-dimensional partial…
This article addresses the problem of controlling the speed of a number of automated vehicles before they enter a speed reduction zone on a freeway. We formulate the control problem and provide an analytical, closed-form solution that can…
The prevalence of high-speed vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication will likely significantly influence the future of vehicle autonomy. In several autonomous driving applications, however, the role such systems will play is seldom…
The combination of boundary flow control and variable speed limit (VSL) is a widely used strategy for highway corridors to maintain safety and throughput when the capacity downstream is dropped. However, most proposed models assume fixed…
Variable speed limit (VSL) control is an established yet challenging problem to improve freeway traffic mobility and alleviate bottlenecks by customizing speed limits at proper locations based on traffic conditions. Recent advances in deep…

A bottleneck can largely deteriorate the flow, such as a traffic light or an on-ramp at a road. To alleviate bottleneck situations, one of the important strategies is to control the input rate to suit the state of the road. In this study,…
Vehicular sensor network (VSN) is an emerging technology, which combines wireless communication offered by vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) with sensing devices installed in vehicles. VSN creates a huge opportunity to extend the road-side…
Zero-shot vision-and-language navigation (VLN) has gained significant attention due to its minimal data collection costs and inherent generalization. This paradigm is typically driven by the integration of pre-trained Vision-Language Models…

This paper develops boundary control for freeway traffic with a downstream bottleneck. Traffic on a freeway segment with capacity drop at outlet of the segment is a common phenomenon leading to traffic bottleneck problem. The capacity drop…
Traffic signal control is a critical task in intelligent transportation systems, yet conventional fixed-time and rule-based methods often struggle to adapt to dynamic traffic demand and provide limited decision interpretability. This study…
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…
