A Highway Toll Lane Framework that Unites Autonomous Vehicles and High-occupancy Vehicles
Ruolin Li, Philip N. Brown, Roberto Horowitz
We consider the scenario where human-driven/autonomous vehicles with low/high occupancy are sharing a segment of highway and autonomous vehicles are capable of increasing the traff…
Employing Altruistic Vehicles at On-ramps to Improve the Social Traffic Conditions
Ruolin Li, Philip N. Brown, Roberto Horowitz
Highway on-ramps are regarded as typical bottlenecks in transportation networks. In previous work, mainline vehicles' selfish lane choice behavior at on-ramps is studied and regard…
Improving Urban Traffic Throughput with Vehicle Platooning: Theory and Experiments
Stanley W. Smith, Yeojun Kim, Jacopo Guanetti +7
In this paper we present a model-predictive control (MPC) based approach for vehicle platooning in an urban traffic setting. Our primary goal is to demonstrate that vehicle platoon…
An Extended Game-Theoretic Model for Aggregate Lane Choice Behavior of Vehicles at Traffic Diverges with a Bifurcating Lane
Ruolin Li, Negar Mehr, Roberto Horowitz
Road network junctions, such as merges and diverges, often act as bottlenecks that initiate and exacerbate congestion. More complex junction configurations lead to more complex dri…
