Platooning represents an advanced driving technology designed to assist drivers in traffic convoys of varying lengths, enhancing road safety, reducing driver fatigue, and improving fuel efficiency. Sophisticated automated driving assistance…

We study the problem of planning routes in road networks when certain streets or areas are closed at certain times. For heavy vehicles, such areas may be very large since many European countries impose temporary driving bans during the…

Vehicular platooning is a well-known transportation technique that helps reduce fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and road congestion. When integrated with Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technologies, platooning enhances the…

This paper addresses the problem of longitudinal platooning control of homogeneous vehicles subject to external disturbances, such as wind gusts, road slopes, and parametric uncertainties. Our control objective is to maintain the relative…

Practical deployments of coordinated fleets of mobile robots in different environments have revealed the benefits of maintaining small distances between robots, especially as they move at higher speeds. However, this is counter-intuitive in…

Recent developments in autonomous driving, vehicle-to-vehicle communication and smart traffic controllers have provided a hope to realize platoon formation of vehicles. The main benefits of vehicle platooning include improved safety,…

In this paper we discuss optimal dispatching of fire trucks, based on a particular dispatching problem that arises at the Amsterdam Fire Department, where two fire trucks are send to the same incident location for a quick response. We…

In part II, we present a fully distributed nonlinear variable time headway space strategy to ensure the subsequent safe cruising and junction crossing, where the cooperative perception of multiple neighbors stimuli and the cooperative…

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provide the most intriguing opportunity to reduce pollution, energy consumption, and travel delays. In this paper, we address the problem of vehicle platoon formation in a traffic network with partial…

Platoons, vehicles that travel very close together acting as one, promise to improve road usage on freeways and city roads alike. We study platoon formation in the context of same-day delivery in urban environments. Multiple self-interested…

In this paper we present distributed and adaptive algorithms for motion coordination of a group of m autonomous vehicles. The vehicles operate in a convex environment with bounded velocity and must service demands whose time of arrival,…

The proliferation of ride sharing systems is a major drive in the advancement of autonomous and electric vehicle technologies. This paper considers the joint routing, battery charging, and pricing problem faced by a profit-maximizing…

Urban traffic congestion is a chronic problem faced by many cities. It is essentially inefficient infrastructure use which results in increased vehicle fuel consumption and emissions. This in turn adds extra costs to commuters and…

Connected automated vehicles (CAVs) have brought new opportunities to improve traffic throughput and reduce energy consumption. However, the uncertain lane-change behaviors (LCBs) of surrounding vehicles (SVs) as an uncontrollable factor…

In this paper we study a dynamic vehicle routing problem in which there are multiple vehicles and multiple classes of demands. Demands of each class arrive in the environment randomly over time and require a random amount of on-site service…

We study various versions of the problem of scheduling platoons of autonomous vehicles through an unregulated intersection, where an algorithm must schedule which platoons should wait so that others can go through, so as to minimize the…

Platooning of multiple autonomous vehicles has attracted significant attention in both academia and industry. Despite its great potential, platooning is not the only choice for the formation of autonomous vehicles in mixed traffic flow,…

The operation of groups of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) at a small inter-vehicular distance (known as platoon) allows to lower the overall aerodynamic drag and, therefore, to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However, due…

Vehicle platooning using connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) has attracted considerable attention. In this paper, we address the problem of optimal coordination of CAV platoons at a highway on-ramp merging. We present a single-level…

In parking lots with large groups of electric vehicles (EVs), charging has to happen in a coordinated manner, among others, due to the high load per vehicle and the limited capacity of the electricity grid. To achieve such coordination,…
