Lane-free vehicle movement has been recently proposed for connected automated vehicles (CAV) due to various potential advantages. One such advantage stems from the fact that incremental changes of the road width in lane-free traffic lead to…

Driver assistance systems support drivers in operating vehicles in a safe, comfortable and efficient way, and thus may induce changes in traffic flow characteristics. This paper puts forward a receding horizon control framework to model…

This paper is concerned with the design of a linear control law for linear systems with stationary additive disturbances. The objective is to find a state feedback gain that minimizes a quadratic stage cost function, while observing chance…

The safety-critical nature of adaptive cruise control (ACC) systems calls for systematic design procedures, e.g., based on formal methods or control barrier functions (CBFs), to provide strong guarantees of safety and performance under all…

A traffic system is a random and complex large system, which is difficult to conduct repeated modelling and control research in a real traffic environment. With the development of automatic driving technology, the requirements for testing…

A decentralized feedback controller for multi-agent systems, inspired by vehicle platooning, is proposed. The closed loop resulting from the decentralized control action has three distinctive features: the generation of collision-free…

Urban traffic congestion significantly impacts regional air quality and contributes substantially to pollutant emissions. Suburban freeway corridors are a major source of traffic-related emissions, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and…

We propose a general model-free strategy for feedback control design of turbulent flows. This strategy called 'machine learning control' (MLC) is capable of exploiting nonlinear mechanisms in a systematic unsupervised manner. It relies on…

With an increasing number of vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control (ACC), the impact of such vehicles on the collective dynamics of traffic flow becomes relevant. By means of simulation, we investigate the influence of variable…

In this paper, we establish a decentralized optimal control framework for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) crossing multiple adjacent, multi-lane signal-free intersections to minimize energy consumption and improve traffic…

The increasing complexity of urban transportation systems, driven by connected and automated vehicles, calls for new modeling paradigms and scalable control strategies. We propose a non-monetary control framework that leverages autonomous…

Multi-lane roads are typical scenarios in the real-world traffic system. Vehicles usually have preference on lanes according to their routes and destinations. Few of the existing studies looks into the problem of controlling vehicles to…

This paper presents a novel two-level control architecture for a fully autonomous vehicle in a deterministic environment, which can handle traffic rules as specifications and low-level vehicle control with real-time performance. At the top…

A well-designed resilient and sustainable urban transportation system can recover quickly from the non-recurrent road congestion (NRC), which is often caused by en-route events (e.g., road closure due to car collisions). Existing solutions,…

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…

Mixed traffic flow consisting of vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and manually driven vehicles is analyzed using car-following simulations. Unlike simulations that show suppression of jams due to increased string…

In this paper, we design decentralized control strategies for the two-dimensional movement of autonomous vehicles on lane-free roads. The bicycle kinematic model is used to model the dynamics of the vehicles, and each vehicle determines its…

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…

Traffic simulation is a cost-effective way to test the deployment of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) vehicles in a large-scale transportation network. By using a previously developed microscopic simulation testbed, this paper…

In this paper we consider the problem of navigation and motion control in an area densely populated with other agents. We propose an algorithm that, without explicit communication and based on the information it has, computes the best…
