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 ...
Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semi-automated vehicles
(IEEE, 1999)
While dedicated highways with fully automated vehicles is a far in the future objective, the introduction of semi-automated vehicles on current highways designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near ...
Traffic Density Control for Automated Highway Systems
(1997)
Traffic flow instabilities such as traffic congestion are often caused by ad hoc and inappropriate speeds and headways that humans choose when they operate their vehicles. In an automated highway system (AHS) environment, ...
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. ...
Macroscopic modeling of automated highway systems
(IEEE, 1997)
An accurate macroscopic traffic flow model of automated highways is necessary not only for analyzing the collective dynamical behavior of automated vehicles but also for designing control laws to improve system level ...
Modeling and control design for a computer-controlled brake system
(1997)
The brake subsystem is one of the most significant parts of a vehicle with respect to safety. A computer-controlled brake system has the capability of acting faster than the human driver during emergencies, and therefore ...
Robust platoon-stable controller design for autonomous intelligent vehicles
(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, ...
