Nowadays, urban environments suffer from recurrent traffic jam with associated side effects. Platoon system, a set of vehicle attach by virtual link, is one of answer. in order to cope with issues such as different platoon geometrics since several years, we’re seeing the multi-agent system as element of response to many problems. This paper to apply this concept for platoon vehicles system thro...

This paper addresses the modelling and simulation of a battery charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, with the objective of pro-actively scheduling the charging of up to fifty vehicles so as not to overcharge the electrical network. Benefits of having the charging stations differ (as much as possible while satisfying end-user requirements) battery charging for those hours when electrici...

An onboard vehicle-to-vehicle multi-hop wireless networking system has been developed to test the realworld performance of telematics applications. The system targets emergency and safety messaging, traffic updates, audio/video streaming and commercial announcements. The test-bed includes a Differential GPS receiver, an IEEE 802.11a radio card modified to emulate the DSRC standard, a 1xRTT cell...

As reported in earlier work, methods for hybrid optimal control can be used for optimal path planning of multi-agent systems. This paper considers a multi-vehicle transport scenario in which a hybrid model is used to represent the continuous dynamics of the vehicle motion and the dynamics arising from the docking-events between vehicles and a transported object. The decisions on the vehicles’ h...

We have developed a lane change aid system (LCAS), which detects vehicles behind in adjacent lanes with multi-line CCD sensors and informs the driver of vehicle location with a head-up display (HUD). Instead of processing camera images directly, a multi-line CCD sensor contains the pairs of line CCDs and measures two-dimensional distance distribution by comparing the brightness on line CCDs. To...

Inter-vehicle communications, in the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems, will probably bring a significant improvement in both traffic safety and efficiency. In order to evaluate in what measure this is true, traffic simulations that take into account the communications between vehicles are needed. In this paper, we propose an agent-based architecture, in which the simulation and man...

In this paper, we present a hierarchical guidance and control system designed for rotorcraft-based unmanned aerial vehicles (RUAVs) for cooperative multi-agent scenarios. The issues of multi-agent system is resolved with a distributed hierarchical structure, which gradually transforms abstract mission commands into realtime control signals for multiple numbers of agents. The cooperative operati...

This paper presents a method to control height and speed of fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using MATLAB platform. The mathematical dynamic model of Six Degrees of Freedom (6-DOF) aircraft is nonlinear and it is linearized about a flight condition. System is divided into two Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) sub models. First model controls the longitudinal dynamics and second model is...

Modern day’s vehicles are equipped with various features, like-storage space, sensors and computing capabilities. They have the flexibility to communicate each other as well as with Road-side unit with wireless transceiver. Therefore by the combination of such resources meaningfully will create a momentous influence on the domain of communication network. The underutilized vehicular resources c...

Electric vehicle charging stations are essential infrastructure in developing electric vehicles. In order to construct reasonable amount of electric vehicle charging stations with proper locations, a mathematical multi-level layout planning model, which aims at minimizing the initial construction investment and the users’ charging cost simultaneously, is employed in this paper. An improved gene...
