      Automatic vehicle-following 

      Chien, C. C.; Ioannou, Petros A. (Publ by American Automatic Control Council, 1992)
      Vehicle following and its effects on traffic flow has been an active area of research. Human driving involves reaction times, delays and human errors that affect traffic flow adversely. One way to eliminate human errors ...

      Autonomous Intelligent Cruise Control 

      Ioannou, Petros A.; Chien, C. C. (1993)
      Vehicle following and its effects on traffic flow has been an active area of research. Human driving involves reaction times, delays, and human errors that affect traffic flow adversely. One way to eliminate human errors ...

      Autonomous intelligent cruise control using front and back information for tight vehicle following maneuvers 

      Zhang, Y.; Kosmatopoulos, Elias B.; Ioannou, Petros A.; Chien, C. C. (1999)
      During manual driving, most human drivers often use information about the speed and position of the preceding and following vehicles in order to adjust the position and speed of their vehicles. The purpose of this paper ...

      Comparision of spacing and headway control laws for automatically controlled vehicles 

      Swaroop, D.; Hedrick, J. K.; Chien, C. C.; Ioannou, Petros A. (1994)
      This paper investigates two different longitudinal control policies for automatically controlled vehicles. One is based on maintaining a constant spacing between the vehicles while the other is based upon maintaining a ...

      Entrainment and vehicle following controllers design for autonomous intelligent vehicles 

      Chien, C. C.; Ioannou, Petros A.; Lai, M. C. (American Automatic Control Council, 1994)
      Entrainment and vehicle following controllers are proposed for autonomous intelligent vehicles in both non-tight and tight vehicle following maneuvers. A nonlinear vehicle model is used for designing the controllers. The ...

      Fuzzy traffic density homogenizer for automated highway system 

      Chien, C. C.; Ioannou, Petros A.; Chu, C. K. (IEEE, 1994)
      In this paper, a fuzzy traffic density homogenizer is proposed to alleviate or avoid the congestion by smoothing the traffic density distribution profile over the freeway. The proposed fuzzy traffic density homogenizer ...

      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 ...

      Robust platoon-stable controller design for autonomous intelligent vehicles 

      Stotsky, A.; Chien, C. C.; Ioannou, Petros A. (IEEE, 1994)
      A new variable structure longitudinal controller is designed and analyzed for an autonomous intelligent vehicle. The proposed controller not only guarantees individual vehicle stability but also platoon stability. Moreover, ...
