V2V communication-based rail collision avoidance system for urban light rail vehicles
Loi Do, Ivo Herman, Zdeněk Hurák
In this paper, we document a design, implementation, and field tests of a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication-enabled rail collision avoidance system (RCAS) for urban light rail…
Onboard Model-based Prediction of Tram Braking Distance
Loi Do, Ivo Herman, Zdeněk Hurák
In this paper, we document design and a prototype implementation of a computational method for an onboard prediction of a breaking distance for a city rail vehicle|a tram. The meth…
Disturbance scaling in bidirectional vehicle platoons with different asymmetry in position and velocity coupling
Ivo Herman, Steffi Knorn, Anders Ahlén
This paper considers a string of vehicles where the local control law uses the states of the vehicle's immediate predecessor and follower. The coupling towards the preceding vehicl…
On the necessity of symmetric positional coupling for string stability
Dan Martinec, Ivo Herman, Michael Šebek
We consider a distributed system with identical agents, constant-spacing policy and asymmetric bidirectional control, where the asymmetry is due to different controllers, which we…
Transfer functions in consensus systems with higher-order dynamics and external inputs
Ivo Herman, Dan Martinec, Michael Sebek
This paper considers transfer functions in consensus systems where agents have identical SISO dynamics of arbitrary order. The interconnecting structure is a directed graph. The tr…
Transients of platoons with asymmetric and different Laplacians
Ivo Herman, Dan Martinec, J. J. P. Veerman
We consider an asymmetric control of platoons of identical vehicles with nearest-neighbor interaction. Recent results show that if the vehicle uses different asymmetries for positi…
Scaling in bidirectional platoons with dynamic controllers and proportional asymmetry
Ivo Herman, Dan Martinec, Zdeněk Hurák +1
We consider platoons composed of identical vehicles with an asymmetric nearest-neighbor interaction. We restrict ourselves to intervehicular coupling realized with dynamic arbitrar…
A travelling wave approach to a multi-agent system with a path-graph topology
Dan Martinec, Ivo Herman, Michael Šebek
The paper presents a novel approach for the analysis and control of a multi-agent system with non-identical agents and a path-graph topology. With the help of irrational wave trans…
Nonzero bound on Fiedler eigenvalue causes exponential growth of H-infinity norm of vehicular platoon
Ivo Herman, Dan Martinec, Zdeněk Hurák +1
We consider platoons composed of identical vehicles and controlled in a distributed way, that is, each vehicle has its own onboard controller. The regulation errors in spacing to t…
Wave-absorbing vehicular platoon controller
Dan Martinec, Ivo Herman, Zdeněk Hurák +1
The paper tailors the so-called wave-based control popular in the field of flexible mechanical structures to the field of distributed control of vehicular platoons. The proposed so…
