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 ...
Fuzzy traffic density homogenizer for automated highway system
(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 ...
Entrainment and vehicle following controllers design for autonomous intelligent vehicles
(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 ...
Roadway traffic controller design for automated highway systems
(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 ...
Adaptive linear quadratic design with application to F-16 fighter aircraft
(2004)
This paper investigates an adaptive linear quadratic (ALQ) control design with its application to the longitudinal model of the F-16 fighter aircraft. The certainty equivalence principle is used to combine the adaptive law ...
Intelligent cruise control: Theory and experiment
(Publ by IEEE, 1993)
Automated vehicle control systems (AVCS) is an important part of intelligent vehicle and highway systems (IVHS) whose long term goal is to improve freeway capacity and safety and reduce pollution through vehicle and highway ...
Adaptive control of a class of slowly time varying systems with modeling uncertainties
(2005)
In a recent work, a new linear adaptive controller based on certainty-equivalence and backstepping design, which promises a level of transient and asymptotic performance comparable to that of the tuning functions adaptive ...
Adaptive control of an aeroelastic airbreathing hypersonic cruise vehicle
(2007)
This paper describes an adaptive linear quadratic (ALQ) altitude and velocity tracking control algorithm for the longitudinal model of a generic airbreathing hypersonic flight vehicle. The vehicle design is inspired by a ...
Petri net modeling and analysis of automated container terminal using automated guided vehicle systems
(2002)
Booming world trade, scarcity of land for yard expansion in many ports, and deployment of new, massive megaships have magnified the need to find better ways of performing container terminal operations. Automated guided ...
Modeling of traffic flow of automated vehicles
(2004)
With the development of near term automatic vehicles following concepts such as intelligent cruise control (ICC) and cooperative driving, vehicles will be able to automatically follow each other in the longitudinal direction. ...
