The presence of autonomous vehicles on the roads presents an opportunity to compensate the unstable behaviour of conventional vehicles. Ideally vehicles should (i) be able to recover their equilibrium speed, and (ii) react so as not to propagate but absorb perturbations. However, stability analysis in the literature is found to mainly deal with infinite and homogeneous platoons of vehicles, ass...

The effect of acceleration – variable forward velocity, have been investigated on the steady-state and transient responses of turning vehicles and the resulted path of motion of the vehicle. Comparing the two mentioned responses of the vehicle could be used to prove that there is a negligible difference between the steady-state and transient centre of rotation of the vehicle in engineering appl...

There are a variety of factors affecting steering performance on off-road vehicles, including vehicle dynamics and soil stiffness. It is essential to understand the steering dynamics for designing a reasonable electrohydraulic (E/H) steering control system for wheel-type tractor. A computer-controlled E/H steering simulator, consisting of a steering actuator and a steering load simulator, is an...

This paper proposes a system to estimate the 3D position and velocity of vehicles, from images acquired with a monocular camera. Given image regions where vehicles are detected, Gaussian distributions are estimated detailing the most probable 3D road regions where vehicles lay. This is done by combining an assumed image formation model with the Unscented Transform mechanism. These distributions...

The work is devoted to theoretical and experimental investigations of dynamics high-speed underwater supercavitating vehicles with cone cavitators. cavitators are considered as operating controls the vehicle motion. mathematical model a “slender” unsteady cavity based on G.V.Logvinovich principle independence section expansion used. Experimental studies rotary were carried out at tank Institute...

The paper presents an agent-based cooperative traffic model implemented as an extension of the Multi-model Open-source Vehicular-traffic SIMulator (MovSim). Connected vehicles dynamics are described from a traffic flow theory standpoint using a bilateral multi-anticipative microscopic model. Then, agent-based concepts allow to influence vehicles dynamics through perception and trust-based mecha...

1 Abstract A generic proecological traffic control model for the urban street canyon is proposed by development of advanced continuum field hydrodynamical control model of the street canyon. The model of optimal control of street canyon dynamics is also investigated. The mathematical physics' approach (Eulerian approach) to vehicular movement, to pollutants' emission, and to pollutants' dynamic...

We propose a hybrid decision-making framework for safe and efficient autonomous driving of selfish vehicles on highways. Specifically, we model the dynamics of each vehicle as a Mixed-Logical-Dynamical system and propose simple driving rules to prevent potential sources of conflict among neighboring vehicles. We formalize the coordination problem as a generalized mixed-integer potential game, w...
