Synchronization of Uncertain Heterogeneous Agents: An Adaptive Virtual Model Reference Approach

Synchronization of Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) has the potential to benefit many technological<br/>areas such as formation control for unmanned vehicles, cooperative adaptive<br/>cruise control, and spacecraft attitude control. Information plays a crucial role in MASs:<br/>in centralized approaches, a central node utilizes global information to...

Impacts of Truck Platooning at Motorway On-ramps: Analysis of traffic performance and safety effects of different platooning strategies and platoon configurations using microscopic simulation

In this research, insight is gained into the impacts of truck platooning on traffic performance and safety at motorway on-ramps in mixed traffic using microscopic simulation. Thereby different platooning strategies and platoon configurations are considered, that for instance differ in desired platoon inter-vehicle gaps and platoon sizes. The...
