Traffic Control via Connected and Automated Vehicles: An Open-Road Field Experiment with 100 CAVs
Jonathan W. Lee, Han Wang, Kathy Jang +61
The CIRCLES project aims to reduce instabilities in traffic flow, which are naturally occurring phenomena due to human driving behavior. These "phantom jams" or "stop-and-go waves,…
Traffic smoothing using explicit local controllers
Amaury Hayat, Arwa Alanqary, Rahul Bhadani +16
The dissipation of stop-and-go waves attracted recent attention as a traffic management problem, which can be efficiently addressed by automated driving. As part of the 100 automat…
Prototyping Vehicle Control Applications Using the CAT Vehicle Simulator
Rahul Bhadani, Jonathan Sprinkle
This paper demonstrates the integration model-based design approaches or vehicle control, with validation in a freely available open-source simulator. Continued interest in autonom…
Reachability Analysis for FollowerStopper: Safety Analysis and Experimental Results
Fang-Chieh Chou, Marsalis Gibson, Rahul Bhadani +2
Motivated by earlier work and the developer of a new algorithm, the FollowerStopper, this article uses reachability analysis to verify the safety of the FollowerStopper algorithm,…
Integrated Framework of Vehicle Dynamics, Instabilities, Energy Models, and Sparse Flow Smoothing Controllers
Jonathan W. Lee, George Gunter, Rabie Ramadan +25
This work presents an integrated framework of: vehicle dynamics models, with a particular attention to instabilities and traffic waves; vehicle energy models, with particular atten…
CAN Coach: Vehicular Control through Human Cyber-Physical Systems
M. Nice, S. Elmadani, R. Bhadani +3
This work addresses whether a human-in-the-loop cyber-physical system (HCPS) can be effective in improving the longitudinal control of an individual vehicle in a traffic flow. We i…
Are commercially implemented adaptive cruise control systems string stable?
George Gunter, Derek Gloudemans, Raphael E. Stern +9
In this article, we assess the string stability of seven 2018 model year adaptive cruise control (ACC) equipped vehicles that are widely available in the US market. Seven distinct…
The CAT Vehicle Testbed: A Simulator with Hardware in the Loop for Autonomous Vehicle Applications
Rahul Kumar Bhadani, Jonathan Sprinkle, Matthew Bunting
This paper presents the CAT Vehicle (Cognitive and Autonomous Test Vehicle) Testbed: a research testbed comprised of a distributed simulation-based autonomous vehicle, with straigh…
Dissipation of stop-and-go waves via control of autonomous vehicles: Field experiments
Raphael E. Stern, Shumo Cui, Maria Laura Delle Monache +11
Traffic waves are phenomena that emerge when the vehicular density exceeds a critical threshold. Considering the presence of increasingly automated vehicles in the traffic stream,…
