Distributed cooperative cruise control for high‐speed trains with multi‐objective optimization

Scalable Beaconing for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control

Over the past two hundred years, automotive technology has evolved from mechanised horse carriage to high-tech systems which pack more computing power than the entire space program that put Neil Armstrong on the moon. Hand-in-hand with this evolution came a proliferation of ownership and use of cars. This enormous success causes one of modern society’s largest problems: where many vehicles accu...

Distributed Fault Detection and Estimation for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control System in a Platoon

Wireless vehicle to vehicle communication in a vehicle platoon is proposed in intelligent transportation systems to increase safety of the transportation system and assist drivers for improved decision making. However, similar to any networked system, cooperative connected vehicles in a platoon are vulnerable to malfunction due to failures in network communication. In addition to the possible d...

Platoon management with cooperative adaptive cruise control enabled by VANET

Previous studies have shown the ability of vehicle platooning to improve highway safety and throughput. With Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) and Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) system, vehicle platooning with small headway becomes feasible. In this paper, we developed a platoon management protocol for CACC vehicles based on wireless communication through VANET. This protocol include...

Distributed Computation for Cooperative Control

A cooperative control system consists of multiple, autonomous components interacting to control their environment. Examples include air traffic control systems, automated factories, robot soccer teams and sensor/actuator networks. Designing such systems requires a combination of tools from control theory and distributed systems. In this article, we review some of these tools and then focus on t...
