      Adaptive vehicle following control system with variable time headways 

      Zhang, J.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2005)
      In this paper, we design a vehicle following control system with variable time headways, using adaptive control design methodology. It is shown that the designed vehicle following control system guarantees closed-loop ...

      Non-identifier based adaptive control scheme with guaranteed stability 

      Zhang, J.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2006)
      In this paper, we investigate a non-identifier based adaptive control scheme for single-input single-output (SISO) plants. The overall adaptive control system can be viewed as a feedback interconnection of a SISO plant, a ...

      A simple roadway control system for freeway traffic 

      Zhang, J.; Chang, H.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2006)
      In this paper, a roadway control system that regulates variable speed limits along the freeway in addition to ramp metering is proposed to counteract traffic congestion and improve freeway efficiency. It treats the speed ...
