Bhoopalam, Anirudh Kishore (author), van den Berg, Roy (author), Agatz, Niels (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Work towards making automated driving systems a reality is well underway. In this study, we look at what is likely to be one of the first widespread implementations of a form of automated driving on public roads, i.e., truck platooning, where virtually connected trucks drive at short headways to save fuel and associated emissions. With...journal article 2023

Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Schulte, F. (author), González-Ramírez, Rosa G. (author), Voß, Stefan (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Modern ports face significant challenges as strategic nodes of global supply chains, being responsible for the coordination of inbound and outbound flows at deep-sea and in hinterland transport corridors. Digitization and the adoption of disruptive technologies can help ports to tide over operational challenges. Automated Ground Vehicles ...journal article 2023

Niesten, Thijs (author)Cooperative driving controllers are becoming interesting subjects for future research in automated driving with the increase in connectivity. Using true-scale<br/>autonomous vehicles to properly test new control algorithms can be a challenge<br/>due to three main factors: costs, safety, and space requirements. To overcome<br/>these problems,...master thesis 2022

van Lierop, Marjolein (author)Due to the increase in traffic, road congestion has gone up. Vehicle platooning is a possible way to increase the capacity of a given road, by decreasing the distance between the vehicles in the platoon. At the moment, the control of vehicle platoons is commonly done using PDD controllers. The advantage of this is that it requires little...master thesis 2022

Liu, Zhengqiang (author), Liu, Di (author), Yu, Wenwu (author), Baldi, S. (author)In recent years, platooning solutions like cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) have been deeply studied. It is common in such platooning literature to assume that the vehicles drive on the same lane (longitudinal platooning). At the same time, lateral control during merging maneuvers is commonly addressed as a path planning problem, in...conference paper 2022

Razdan, Shuhul (author)With inland transportation increasing every passing day, vehicle platooning offers a good solution towards travelling more efficiently. Along with reducing traffic congestion on roads, platooning also leads to better fuel consumption among vehicles, fewer accidents, and most importantly, vehicle platoons can be made autonomous using optimization...master thesis 2021

de Geus, Justin (author)The world is becoming increasingly congested due to a continuous growth of world population and overall wealth. Current road capacity limitations will lead to a significant decrease of traffic flow accompanied by a serious increase in global fuel consumption and air pollution. Ever-expanding road infrastructure is not expected to be a...master thesis 2021

Calvert, S.C. (author), Mecacci, Giulio (author), Heikoop, Daniel D. (author), Janssen, Robbert (author)Vehicle cooperation, not vehicle automation, will yield the greatest benefits on road traffic. However, satisfactory human control over platoons of cooperative vehicles still has a large number of uncertainties and issues to be addressed. This paper aims to address these broader issues of control over a cooperative vehicle platoon by...journal article 2021

Liu, Di (author), Baldi, S. (author), Jain, V. (author), Yu, Wenwu (author), Frasca, Paolo (author)Recently proposed adaptive platooning strategies for connected automated vehicles are able to cope with uncertain vehicle parameters (uncertain driveline time constants), but can handle only acyclic graphs like look-ahead graphs. This prevents from enhancing platooning protocols with synchronized merging maneuvers, where cyclic communication...journal article 2021

Muniyandi, Raj Kumar (author)Growth of mobility for people and goods transportation has been increasing steadily over the years. With the perpetual increase in number of road vehicles, comes the inevitable problems of traffic and pollution. Various intelligent traffic technologies and strategies have been proposed and implemented over the years to...master thesis 2020

Tombakaitė, Gabriele (author)Sensors are used all around us in various industries, for instance: agricultural, medical,aerospace and automotive. It is important for these industries to have reliable sensor data because the functionality of technologies depends on it. In this work, the industry of inter-est is automotive, specifically in the field of Cooperative Adaptive...master thesis 2020

van den Berg, Daniel (author)Vehicle platooning is often regarded as one of the most promising solutions for solving the road congestion issues. Experiments have successfully proven that longitudinal platooning can be safely achieved in real world applications using a platoon of several vehicles. Lateral control however, has received far less attention. The main difficulty...master thesis 2020

Naorniakowski, Alexander (author)Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs) are responsible for a measurable and growing portion of the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. As aerodynamic drag constitutes the single biggest source of engine power demand for HDVs at highway speeds, aerodynamic improvements are an effective measure to reduce fuel consumption and thus greenhouse gas emissions....master thesis 2020

Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Schulte, F. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been successfully applied in closed environments such as ports and industrial zones, while their operation in open areas has a long way to go. The current research is initiated to overcome this limitation by the introduction of platooning as a transfer mode. It investigates a container transportation problem...conference paper 2020

Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Schulte, F. (author), Souravlias, D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Automated ground vehicles (AGVs) are essential parts of container operations at many ports. Forming platoons—as conceptually established in trucking—may allow these vehicles to directly cater demand points such as dry ports in the hinterland. In this work, we aim to assess such AGV platoons in terms of operational efficiency and costs,...conference paper 2020

(author)This paper presents an effective autonomous follow-the-leader strategy for Azimuthal Stern Drive vessels. The control logic has been investigated from a theoretical point of view. A line-of-sight algorithm is exploited to ensure yaw-check ability, while a speed-check feature is implemented to track the velocity of the target along the path....journal article 2020

Giordano, G. (author), Segata, Michele (author), Blanchini, Franco (author), Lo Cigno, Renato (author)Vehicular networks supporting cooperative driving are among the most interesting and challenging ad-hoc networks. Platooning, or the act of coordinating a set of vehicles through an ad-hoc network, promises to improve traffic safety, and at the same time reduce congestion and pollution. The design of the control system for this application is...journal article 2019

van Rijsingen, Mart (author)The transport sector is making a significant contribution to the global CO2 emissions causing Global Warming. A large portion of this is caused by heavy-duty vehicles like tractor semi-trailer combinations. Since tractor semi-trailer combinations are often operated at relatively high speeds for long periods of time their fuel consumption, and...master thesis 2018

Busse, Timon (author)Congestion and emissions have lately been termed as one of the major challenges for the urban traffic network through various governmental bodies. In this work, a potential solution to this, namely a functional combination between platooning and traffic- adaptive intersection control is first developed and then evaluated. The evaluation is...master thesis 2017
