      Adaptive throttle control for speed tracking 

      Xu, Z.; Ioannou, Petros A. (1994)
      Electronic throttle control is an important part of every advanced vehicle control system. In this paper we design an adaptive control for electronic throttle that achieves good tracking of arbitrary constant speed commands ...

      Combined Variable Speed Limit and Lane Change Control for Highway Traffic 

      Zhang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2017)
      Variable speed limit (VSL) control of highway traffic is expected to improve traffic mobility, safety, and environment, especially during incidents. However, most existing VSL controllers show significant benefits in ...

      Environmental Impact of Combined Variable Speed Limit and Lane Change Control: A Comparison of MOVES and CMEM Model 

      Zhang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2016)
      Highway congestion is detrimental to traffic mobility and has negative impact on the environment. Variable speed limit (VSL) control is an approach that aims to reduce the impact of congestion by controlling the speed of ...

      New model for variable speed limits 

      Wang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2011)
      Traffic flow models play an irreplaceable role in the design and evaluation of variable speed limit (VSL) controllers. All existing models for incorporating VSL effects are based on modifications of the steady-state ...

      Roadway traffic controller design for automated highway systems 

      Chien, C. C.; Zhang, Y.; Stotsky, A.; Ioannou, Petros A. (IEEE, 1994)
      For manual driving, the traffic flow is often irregular, unstable leading to congestion and to low traffic flow rate during minor incidents. These irregularities are due to variation of vehicle speeds and headways that are ...
