A robust control strategy for virtual coupling train platoons

This paper presents a train robust control method to optimize train operation based on the concept virtual coupling on train platoon. This approach is inspired by the recent development of platoon control for autonomous vehicles, and it is hoped that this platoon control can be applied to railway transportation. We use a decentralized model...

Truck-platooning impacts on traffic

This research is carried out to determine the effect of truck platooning on traffic flow using empirical data. This research contains two parts, data fusion, and statistical analysis. For data fusion, loop detector data, infrastructure information and weather data will be added to the original data set. For statistical analysis, the time gap...
