First Observations about Response Times and Connectivity in a Vehicles Platooning Experiment

Visual perception of obstacles and vehicles for platooning

This paper presents the methods for sensing obstacles and vehicles implemented on the University of Parma experimental vehicle (ARGO). The ARGO project is briefly described along with its main objectives; the prototype vehicle and its functionalities are presented. The perception of the environment is performed through the processing of images acquired from the vehicle. Details about the stereo...

Collaborative Platooning of Automated Vehicles Using Variable Time-Gaps

Connected automated vehicles (CAVs) could potentially be coordinated to safely attain the maximum traffic flow on roadways under dynamic traffic patterns, such as those engendered by the merger of two strings of vehicles due a lane drop. Strings of vehicles have to be shaped correctly in terms of the inter-vehicular time-gap and velocity to ensure that such operation is feasible. However, contr...

Automatic parking and platooning for electric vehicles redistribution in a car-sharing application

In car-sharing applications and during certain time slots, some parking stations become full whereas others are empty. To redress this imbalance, vehicle redistribution strategies must be elaborated. As automatic relocation cannot be in place, one alternative is to get a leader vehicle, driven by a human, which come to pick up and drop off vehicles over the stations. This paper deals with the v...
