Vehicle platooning is a cooperative driving technology that can be supported by 5G enhanced Vehicle-to-Everything (eV2X) communication to improve road safety, traffic efficiency, and reduce fuel consumption. eV2X communication among the…
This paper considers trajectory planning for a mobile robot which persistently relays data between pairs of far-away communication nodes. Data accumulates stochastically at each source, and the robot must move to appropriate positions to…
The anticipated launch of fully autonomous vehicles presents an opportunity to develop and implement novel traffic management systems. Intersections are one of the bottlenecks for urban traffic, and thus offer tremendous potential for…
Within a decade, almost every major auto company, along with fleet operators such as Uber, have announced plans to put autonomous vehicles on the road. At the same time, electric vehicles are quickly emerging as a next-generation technology…
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…
5G and beyond networks are expected to support flows with varied \emph{Quality-of-Service (QoS)} requirements under unpredictable traffic conditions. Consequently, designing policies ensuring optimal system utilization in such networks is…
The coordination of multiple autonomous vehicles into convoys or platoons is expected on our highways in the near future. However, before such platoons can be deployed, the new autonomous behaviors of the vehicles in these platoons must be…
In this paper, we study a new Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem, denoted Multiperiod Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem with Dependent Tasks. In this problem, customers request services from a company. Each service is composed…
Nowadays, logistics service providers (LSPs) increasingly consider using a crowdsourced workforce on the last mile to fulfill customers' expectations regarding same-day or on-demand delivery at reduced costs. The crowdsourced workforce's…
Path planning in the multi-robot system refers to calculating a set of actions for each robot, which will move each robot to its goal without conflicting with other robots. Lately, the research topic has received significant attention for…
Electric truck operations require routing decisions that remain feasible under limited battery range, long charging times, travel and energy consumption, and competition for shared charging infrastructure. These features make electric truck…
A novel delay-based spacing policy for the control of vehicle platoons is introduced together with a notion of disturbance string stability. The delay-based spacing policy specifies the desired inter-vehicular distance between vehicles and…
On-Demand Ride-Pooling services have the potential to increase traffic efficiency compared to private vehicle trips by decreasing parking space needed and increasing vehicle occupancy due to higher vehicle utilization and shared trips,…
Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) systems are considered as key potential enablers to improve driving safety and traffic efficiency. They allow for automated vehicle following using wireless communication in addition to onboard…
This paper presents a novel approach to coordinated vehicle platooning, where the platoon followers communicate solely with the platoon leader. A dynamic model is proposed to account for driving safety under communication delays. General…
This paper considers competitive mobility-on-demand systems where a group of vehicle sharing companies, on one hand, want to collectively regulate the traffic of the user queueing network, and on the other hand, maximize their own profits…
Automated vehicle (AV) platooning has the potential to improve the safety, operational, and energy efficiency of surface transportation systems by limiting or eliminating human involvement in the driving tasks. The theoretical validity of…
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…
In a platoon, multiple autonomous vehicles engage in data exchange to navigate toward their intended destination. Within this network, a designated leader shares its status information with followers based on a predefined communication…
Drone applications continue to expand across various domains, with flocking offering enhanced cooperative capabilities but introducing significant challenges during initial formation. Existing flocking algorithms often struggle with…
