Koerten, K.O. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Traffic jams occurring on highways cause increased travel time as well as increased fuel consumption and collisions. So-called phantom traffic jams are traffic jams that do not have a clear cause, such as a merging on-ramp or an accident. Phantom traffic jams make up 50% of all traffic jams and result from instabilities in the traffic flow...journal article 2024

Mahajan, N. (author), Hegyi, A. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Drivers initiate a discretionary lane change when they perceive an anticipated improvement in their own driving condition from moving to another lane. However, such a lane change can slow down other vehicles on the target lane, and even worse initiate a disturbance. In this work, we argue that the blocking effect triggered by individual lane...journal article 2024

Kashifi, M.T.K. (author)Road traffic crash is a global tragedy that leads to economic loss, injury, and fatalities. Understanding the severity of a road crash at the early stages is vital to timely providing emergency medical services to crash victims. This study developed a crash emergency response management framework that requires basic crash information for...journal article 2024

Zhao, Lin (author), Nybacka, Mikael (author), Rothhamel, Malte (author), Habibovic, Azra (author), Papaioannou, G. (author), Drugge, Lars (author)Remote driving plays an essential role in coordinating automated vehicles in some challenging situations. Due to the changed driving environment, the experiences and behaviors of remote drivers would undergo some changes compared to conventional drivers. To study this, a continuous real-life and remote driving experiment is conducted under...journal article 2024

Jain, V. (author), Kumar, Sandeep Suresh (author), Papaioannou, G. (author), Happee, R. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author)In the transition from partial to high automation, occupants will no longer be actively involved in driving. This will allow the use of travel time for work or leisure, where high comfort levels preventing motion sickness are required. In this paper, an optimal trajectory planning algorithm is presented in order to minimise motion sickness in...journal article 2023

Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Natural disasters pose a tremendous risk to the reliability of distribution networks. In this paper, a novel real-time UAV routing strategy for coordination between monitoring and inspection for post-disaster restoration in distribution networks is proposed. With our proposed real-time UAV routing strategy, damages can be inspected by UAVs...journal article 2022

Roth, M. (author), Stapel, J.C.J. (author), Happee, R. (author), Gavrila, D. (author)We present a novel method for vehicle-pedestrian path prediction that takes into account the awareness of the driver and the pedestrian towards each other. The method jointly models the paths of vehicle and pedestrian within a single Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN). In this DBN, sub-graphs model the environment and entity-specific context cues...journal article 2022

(author)The development of new assessment methods for the performance of automated vehicles is essential to enable the deployment of automated driving technologies, due to the complex operational domain of automated vehicles. One contributing method is scenario-based assessment in which test cases are derived from real-world road traffic scenarios...journal article 2022

Wang, Y. (author), Yu, Rongjie (author), Qiu, Shuhan (author), SUN, J. (author), Farah, H. (author)Highly automated vehicles (HAVs) have been introduced to the transportation system for the purpose of providing safer mobility. Considering the expected long co-existence period of HAVs and human-driven vehicles (HDVs), the safety operation of HAVs interacting with HDVs needs to be verified. To achieve this, HAVs' Operational Design Domain ...journal article 2022

Nguyen, T.T. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Vu, Hai L. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Highway bottlenecks are responsible for the majority of traffic congestion. Although the problem of bottleneck detection is not new, contemporary methods have not solved the problem thoroughly with regards to bottleneck locations, activation time, and related congestion tracking. These elements are essential for identifying and characterizing a...journal article 2021

(author)The development of safety validation methods is essential for the safe deployment and operation of Automated Driving Systems (ADSs). One of the goals of safety validation is to prospectively evaluate the risk of an ADS dealing with real-world traffic. ISO 26262 and ISO/DIS 21448, the leading standards in automotive safety, provide an approach...journal article 2021

Pool, E.A.I. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), Gavrila, D. (author)This paper compares two models for context-based path prediction of objects with switching dynamics: a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) and a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). These models are instances of two larger model categories, distinguished by whether expert knowledge is explicitly crafted into the state representation (and thus is...journal article 2021

Pradena, Mauricio (author), Houben, L.J.M. (author)Pavements are one of the largest assets of a city and their functional condition (ride quality) is priority for their clients. In jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs), the presence of joint faulting (JF) reduces the ride quality. Today, short slabs are available as a cost-effective JPCP innovation. The objective of this paper is to analyse...journal article 2019

van der El, Kasper (author), Pool, D.M. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Novel driver support systems potentially enhance road safety by cooperating with the human driver. To optimize the design of emerging steering support systems, a profound understanding of driver steering behavior is required. This article proposes a new theory of driver steering, which unifies visual perception and control models. The theory...journal article 2019

Fiedler, Davide (author), Čertický, Michal (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Cáp, M. (author)In densely populated-cities, the use of private cars for personal transportation is unsustainable, due to high parking and road capacity requirements. The mobility-on-demand systems have been proposed as an alternative to a private car. Such systems consist of a fleet of vehicles that the user of the system can hail for one-way point-to-point...conference paper 2018

Cerqueira, Vitor (author), Moreira Matias, L.A. (author), Khiari, Jihed (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Floating car data (FCD) denotes the type of data (location, speed, and destination) produced and broadcasted periodically by running vehicles. Increasingly, intelligent transportation systems take advantage of such data for prediction purposes as input to road and transit control and to discover useful mobility patterns with applications to...journal article 2018

Schwarting, Wilko (author), Alonso-Mora, J. (author), Paull, Liam (author), Karaman, Sertac (author), Rus, Daniela (author)High-end vehicles are already equipped with safety systems, such as assistive braking and automatic lane following, enhancing vehicle safety. Yet, these current solutions can only help in low-complexity driving situations. In this paper, we introduce a parallel autonomy, or shared control, framework that computes safe trajectories for an...journal article 2017

Schwarting, Wilko (author), Alonso-Mora, J.
