Control strategy for the optimization of mixed traffic flow with autonomous vehicles

Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semiautomated vehicles

The introduction of semiautomated vehicles designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near-term objective. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects on traffic-flow characteristics and environment when semiautomated vehicles with automatic vehicle following capability (in the same lane) operate together with manually driven vehicles. We have shown that semiautoma...

Lateral control strategy for autonomous steering of Ackerman-like vehicles

This paper presents the results of a lateral control strategy that has been applied to the problem of steering an autonomous vehicle using vision. The lateral control law has been designed for any kind of vehicle presenting the Ackerman kinematic model, accounting for the vehicle velocity as a crucial parameter for adapting the steering control response. This makes the control strategy suitable...

A Human-centered Test-bed for Mixed Traffic of Autonomous and Non-autonomous Vehicles

A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a vehicular-wireless network enabling vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications. VANET has been under the international spotlight because various applications can be developed by leveraging those wireless communications to avoid vehicular collisions or to save energies. Most of VANET applications have been de...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
