Simulation models for evaluation of terminal operations and traffic flow on adjacent road network
(2009)
The goods movement via terminals at ports is a complex operation as it involves use of different modes of transport that includes surface and marine. In this paper, we present three simulation models which can be used to ...
Decentralized Reconfigurable Control for Large-Scale Systems with Application to a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)
Designing a decentralized reconfigurable control (DRC) system is considered for large-scale systems. The objective of the DRC system is to achieve performance requirements under normal and sensor failure situations. The ...
Optimization strategies for resilient freight transport and sustainability
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)
A resilient system is one that is able to sustain disruptions by been able to operate close to the optimum or acceptable sub optimum performance by reconfiguring itself to accommodate the disruptions. Resiliency is an ...
Real-Time Control of a Segmented Telescope Test-Bed
(2003)
The control of large segmented telescopes is a challenging one due to the complexity and high order of the system. The high order dynamics lead to high order controllers that require more memory and faster computations for ...
Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semiautomated vehicles
(2003)
The introduction of semiautomated vehicles designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near-term objective. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects on traffic-flow characteristics and ...
Evaluation of mixed semi-automated/manual traffic
(IEEE, 1998)
The advance in research and development will make the deployment of automated vehicles a reality in the near future. At the initial stage, semi-automated vehicles with the capability to follow each other automatically in ...
Evaluation of the environmental effects of intelligent cruise control vehicles
(2001)
Intelligent cruise control (ICC) vehicles are already commercially available in Japan and should be ready for the North American market by next year. Although the controllers are local and string stable, it is not clear ...
Mapping of data obtained on driving simulator to reality based on simulator validation results (WIP)
(The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, 2014)
The use of a driving simulator can be preferable to on-road experiments for cost-efficient rapid prototype testing or dangerous driving scenario evaluations. However, the mismatch of the simulator and the actual driving ...
Environmental evaluation of Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) vehicles
(2000)
During the last decade considerable research and development efforts have been devoted to automating vehicles in an effort to improve safety and efficiency of vehicle following. Several designs for automatic vehicle following ...
Driving Autopilot with Personalization Feature for Improved Safety and Comfort
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
Self-driving cars are gaining momentum despite the number of considerable technical and human factor issues that remain controversial. Human acceptance and trust of an automated vehicle to transport people in traffic ...
