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,…
Compromised ACC vehicles can degrade current mixed-autonomy traffic performance while remaining stealthy against detection
George Gunter, Huichen Li, Avesta Hojjati +6
We demonstrate that a supply-chain level compromise of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) capability on equipped vehicles can be used to significantly degrade system level performan…
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…
Programming the Kennedy Receiver for Capacity Maximization versus Minimizing One-shot Error Probability
Rahul Bhadani, Michael Grace, Ivan B. Djordjevic +2
We find the capacity attained by the Kennedy receiver for coherent-state BPSK when the symbol prior p and pre-detection displacement are optimized. The optimal displacement is diff…
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,…
Model Evolution and Management
Tihamer Levendovszky, Bernhard Rumpe, Bernhard Schätz +1
As complex software and systems development projects need models as an important planning, structuring and development technique, models now face issues resolved for software earli…
Metamodelling: State of the Art and Research Challenges
Jonathan Sprinkle, Bernhard Rumpe, Hans Vangheluwe +1
This chapter discusses the current state of the art, and emerging research challenges, for metamodelling. In the state-of-the-art review on metamodelling, we review approaches, abs…
