This paper investigates the resource scheduling for heterogeneous vehicular networks, where some moving vehicles are selected and scheduled as helping relays to assist information transmission between the roadside infrastructure and other moving vehicles. For such a system, we propose a mobile-service based max-min fairness resource scheduling scheme, where service amount which is more suitable...

Unmanned Vehicles are a fast-growing area of robotics due to their vast application scenarios and ability to perform tasks otherwise impossible. A particular branch, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, specifically multirotors, as seen an increasing interest in research due to their mechanical simplicity and agility. Within AEROWORKS, UAVs are explored as aerial workers, capable of doing autonomous recon...

This paper presents a nonlinear cyclic pursuit based target monitoring strategy for a group of autonomous vehicles. The vehicles are modeled as unicycles and are assumed to be heterogeneous. Each vehicle follows the next neighbor as well as the target. The detailed analysis is done for stationary target and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy against a moving target is shown through simu...

The purpose of this paper is to present the communications aspect in Thetis, a real time multi-vehicles hybrid simulator for heterogeneous vehicles. This simulator allows hardware in loop (HIL) simulations including virtual sensors which allows to provide a representation of a virtual world, and with the support of communication devices, which allow overall communications between vehicles. Afte...

The need for embedding fault diagnosis into goal-orientated autonomous robotic vehicles for increased mission robustness is described. The RECOVERY system, a method for increasing the diagnostic capability by integrating commonly available heterogeneous knowledge is presented. Initial real-water results using the Ocean Systems Laboratory's RAUVER vehicle are given.

Time-dependent Vehicle Routing Problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. In this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. To deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...
