Ni, Y. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Kooij, J.F.P. (author), van Arem, B. (author)A substantial number of vehicles nowadays are equipped with adaptive cruise control (ACC), which adjusts the vehicle speed automatically. However, experiments have found that commercial ACC systems which only detect the direct leader amplify the propagating disturbances in the platoon. This can cause severe traffic congestion when the number...journal article 2024

Duanmu, Zhengliang (author)With the development of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), a promising future for their implementation becomes increasingly apparent. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the effects of AV deployment are not straightforward, particularly when considering scenarios involving AVs from different manufacturers and various levels of automation. The...master thesis 2023

Ruan, Tiancheng (author), Wang, Hao (author), Jiang, Rui (author), Li, Xiaopeng (author), Xie, N. (author), Xie, Xinjian (author), Hao, Ruru (author), Dong, Changyin (author)Urged by a close future perspective of a traffic flow made of a mix of human-driven vehicles and automated vehicles (AVs), research has recently focused on studying the traffic flow characteristics of Adaptive Cruise Controls (ACCs), the most typical AV. However, in most works, the ACC system is studied under a simplifying and unrealistic...journal article 2023

Ni, Ying-Chuan (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) relieves human drivers’ tasks by taking over the control of the throttle and braking of the vehicles automatically. However, it has been demonstrated in many empirical studies that current production ACC systems fail to guarantee string stability. It is believed that if vehicles can take the longitudinal dynamics...master thesis 2022

Varotto, Silvia F. (author), Mons, Celina (author), Hogema, Jeroen H. (author), Christoph, Michiel (author), van Nes, C.N. (author), Martens, Marieke H. (author)Advanced driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane keeping system (LKS) potentially contribute to reducing crash rates and traffic congestion. On-road studies based on early ACC systems operational at medium–high speeds only have shown that the system reduces the proportion of short time gaps when activated....journal article 2022

Li, Guoqiang (author), Gorges, Daniel (author), Wang, M. (author)In this paper a learning-based optimization method for online gear shift and velocity control is presented to reduce the fuel consumption and improve the driving comfort in a car-following process. The continuous traction force and the discrete gear shift are optimized jointly to improve both the powertrain operation and the longitudinal...journal article 2022

Sharma, Salil (author), Al-Khanak, Ehab Nabiel (author), Riebl, Raphael (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), Knoppers, P. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Truck platooning is an application of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) which relies on vehicle-to-vehicle communications facilitated by vehicle ad-hoc networks. Communication uncertainties can affect the performance of a CACC controller. Previous research has not considered the full spectrum of possible car-following scenarios needed...conference paper 2021

Baldi, S. (author), Liu, Di (author), Jain, V. (author), Yu, Wenwu (author)In adaptive platooning strategies proposed in literature to handle uncertain and nonidentical uncertain vehicle dynamics (uncertain heterogeneous platoons) two aspects requiring proper design are neglected: bidirectional interaction among vehicles which might lead to loss of string stability, and engine saturation constraints which might lead...journal article 2021

Jain, V. (author), Liu, Di (author), Baldi, S. (author)While several synchronization-based protocols have been provided for formation-keeping of cooperative vehicles, the problem of synchronized merging is more challenging. Challenges associated to the merging scenario include the need for establishing bidirectional interaction (in place of unidirectional look-ahead interaction), and the need for...journal article 2021

Varotto, S.F. (author), Farah, H. (author), Bogenberger, Klaus (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can reduce traffic congestion and accidents. In dense traffic flow conditions and when changing lanes, drivers prefer to deactivate the ACC. These control transitions between automation and manual driving could impact driver behaviour characteristics. However, few studies have analysed the magnitude and duration of...journal article 2020

Blauw, Mathieu (author)The Dutch governmental organisation Rijkswaterstaat contributes to the smooth and safe flow of traffic, as both traffic jams and accidents cost society large amounts of money each day. Roads are designed for the current traffic composition. Due to the promotion of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems, utilisation of these systems is expected to...master thesis 2019

Tao, T. (author), Jain, V. (author), Baldi, S. (author)Adaptive CACC strategies have been recently proposed to stabilize a platoon with non-identical and uncertain vehicle dynamics (heterogeneous platoon). This work proposes a method to augment such strategies with a mechanism coping with saturation constraints (i.e. engine constraints). In fact, in a platoon of heterogeneous vehicles, engine...journal article 2019

(author)Sags are roadway sections along which the gradient increases gradually in the direction of traffic. Sags are generally bottlenecks in freeway networks. Previous research suggests that traffic management measures using advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems could reduce congestion on freeways, but little is known about their potential...journal article 2019

Varotto, S.F. (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and automated vehicles can contribute to reduce traffic congestion and accidents. Field operational Tests have shown that drivers may prefer to deactivate ACC systems that are inactive at low speeds in dense traffic conditions and before changing lanes. These transitions between automated and manual driving are...doctoral thesis 2018

Hashish, Ahmed (author)This thesis covers the implementation of Event-Triggering Control (ETC) on Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC). CACC has the potential to increase road capacity, by having safe vehicle following with small intervehicle distance (less than 1 second), to increase traffic flow by eliminating shockwave effects, such that string-stable...master thesis 2018

Varotto, S.F. (author), Farah, H. (author), Toledo, Tomer (author), van Arem, B. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and automated vehicles can contribute to reduce traffic congestion and accidents. Recently, an on-road study has shown that drivers may prefer to deactivate full-range ACC when closing in on a slower leader and to overrule it by pressing the gas pedal a few seconds after the activation of the system. Notwithstanding...journal article 2018
