Recent natural or man-made disasters around the world have provided compelling evidence that transportation system plays a crucial role in the emergency evacuation and have stressed the need for effective evacuation traffic management to maximize the utilization of the transportation system and to minimize fatalities and losses. This paper presents a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) fram...

Cooperative vehicle safety systems rely on vehicular networking for vehicle tracking and collision warning. The most pressing challenge in such systems is to maintain real-time tracking accuracy while avoiding network failure and congestion. In vehicular networking, vehicle density is changing rapidly. This unique characteristic can cause network disconnection or channel congestion. Moreover, t...

In this paper we are interested in the dynamics and numerical treatment of a rolling disk on a flat support. The objective of the paper is to develop a numerical model which is able to simulate the dynamics of a rolling disk taking into account frictional resistance against sliding, pivoting and rolling. A mechanical model of a rolling disk is presented in the framework of Non-smooth Dynamics. ...

Abstract Planning for multiple commodities simultaneously is a challenging task arising in divers applications, including robot motion or various forms of traffic management. Separation constraints between frequently have to be considered ensure safe trajectories, i.e., paths over time. Discrete decisions at least one often possible separation conditions renders planning best continuous traject...

Deploying distributed energy resources and other smart grid technologies have increased the complexity of power grids made them more vulnerable to natural disasters cyber-physical-human (CPH) threats. To deal with these extreme events, proactive plans are required by utilities minimize damages caused CPH This article proposes a rolling-horizon-based scheme for resilience-oriented operation hydr...
