This article summarizes a report to the California Institute for Energy Efficiency on The lmpact of Electric Vehicles on the Southern California Edison System. It begins with a review of previous studies of electric vehicles and their impact on the electric utility. It then describes the assumptions adopted for eight scenarios with large scale use of electric vehicles in southern California. Th...

Our objective is to use information on the vehicles approaching an intersection to control the traffic signal. Recent work in this area has used this information to minimize the average delay of vehicles controlled by the signal. We demonstrate that, when there are significant differences in the volume of traffic approaching from different directions, the average delay of the vehicles in the lo...

most accidents happens because of lack of visibility and not driver’s reaction on time whenan accident occurs. increasing required time for driver’s reaction caused to decreasingaccidents on roadways .intelligent vehicle networks brings enough time for reaction by sendingalert and alternate messages to vehicles on roadway. main propose in this paper is aroundmodulation on reception interval saf...

in static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. in this paper, the static scheduling problem of automated guided vehicles in container terminal is solved by the network simplex algorithm (nsa). the algorithm is based on graph model and their performances are at least 100 times faster than traditional si...

Connected vehicles communicate with neighboring vehicles, road side units, personal devices, and service centers; and have their electronic control units communicate through their in-vehicle networks. This provides cyberattackers with the opportunity to communicate with the vehicles and to stage attacks. This paper reports about a case study for estimating the likelihoods of threats for connect...

Vehicles with alternative drive trains are regarded as a promising substitute for conventional cars, considering the growing concern about oil depletion and the environmental impact of our transportation system. However, ―clean‖ technologies will only be viable when they are cost-efficient. In this paper, the environmental impacts and the financial costs of different vehicle technologies are ca...

An autonomous vehicle is a demanding application for our daily life. Such vehicle requires to detect other vehicles on the road. Given the sequences of images, the algorithms need to find other vehicles in realtime. There two types of on-road vehicles, traveling in the same direction or traveling in the opposite direction. Due to the distinct features of two types of vehicles, different approac...

The operation and transit of emergency vehicles on an automated highway system (AHS) designed under the control architecture proposed in the California Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways (PATH) program is described. The term emergency vehicles is used in a general sense to describe vehicles, such as police cars, ambulances, and tow trucks, that may service faults inside or outside the A...
