We discuss the development, integration, simulation, and flight test of a manned vehicle UAV mission system in a partially-known environment. The full control system allows a manned aircraft to issue mission level commands to an autonomous aircraft in realtime. This system includes a Natural Language (NL) Interface to allow the manned and unmanned vehicle to communicate in languages understood ...

This paper describes on-going research aimed at developing a 3-in-1 integrated traffic-driving-networking simulator (ITDNS) for the design and evaluation of Cyber Transportation Systems (CTS) and Connected Vehicle (CV) applications. This unique simulator allows a human driver to control a subject vehicle in a virtual environment; this vehicle is capable of communicating with other vehicles and ...

This paper describes a novel design of exploration vehicle, ACV, and the scheme of motion control and path planning using the virtual prototyping system. ACV possesses the high local mobility and obstacle crossing ability due to the design of four independent drives and the active rock arms. An integrated design environment is established using ADAMS and Matlab/Simulink to simulate the vehicle ...

This paper proposed an integrated system between an eco-driving algorithm and an eco-signal control based on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and evaluated the system’s environmental benefits. The system calculates eco-speeds using vehicle information (e.g., current locations, vehicle speeds, and acceleration profiles) and signal information. In addition, the system controls current s...
