The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RA) in new asphalt pavements can provide important economical savings, while reducing the negative environmental impact. The European research project PARAMIX aims to improve the techniques for hot mix recycling in plant and cold mix in situ recycling, so as to increase the amount of reclaimed asphalt and develop competitive road pavement rehabilitation te...

Abstract Automated long haul trucking is being developed for commercial deployment in the United States. One possible mode of this technology a “transfer-hub” model where operationally less complex highway driving automated, while human drivers drive more urban segment route. We study net impacts on tractor-trailer operator-hours from deployment. Using data 2017 Commodity Flow Survey, we gather...

To develop driving automation technologies for humans, a human-centered methodology should be adopted safety and satisfactory user experience. Automated lane change decision in dense highway traffic is challenging, especially when considering different driver preferences. This paper proposes personalized algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning. Firstly, experiments are carried out moving...

Coordination is an essential ingredient of joint activity in humanagent-robot teams. In this paper, we discuss some of the challenges and requirements for successful coordination, and briefly how we have used KAoS HART services framework to support coordination in a multi-team humanrobot field exercise.

Once a baseline level of full automation is possible for an Automated Highway System, there are numerous choices to be made in deploying enhanced capabilities to improve safety, throughput, and travel time. Identifying a set of orthogonal capabilities enables describing multiple deployment paths within a common framework. Sixteen AHS configurations can be formed from a proposed set of orthogona...

Autonomous vehicles are being used increasingly often for a range of tasks, including automated highway driving and automated parking. These systems are typically either specialized for structured environments and depend entirely on such structure being present in their surroundings, or are specialized for unstructured environments and ignore any structure that may exist. In this paper, we pres...

The purpose of this project is to extend and integrate existing results on fault diagnostics and fault management for passenger vehicles used in automated highway systems (AHS). These results have been combined to form a fault diagnostic and management system for the longitudinal and lateral control systems of the automated vehicles which has a hierarchical framework that complements the establ...
