DIRECTOR: Enabling advanced driver assistance systems with predictive signalized intersection control using LSTM networks: An AI approach to signalized intersection control

Traffic congestion at signalized intersections is a big economical and ecological problem. Handcrafted traffic light controllers (TLCs) are currently used to minimize the impact, but they are expensive to design and maintain and their performance degrades over time. Predictive TLCs and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) form a potential...

Hybrid Human in the Loop Model Predictive Control applied to Polder Management: Case study Ommoord

In the Netherlands, flood protection has always been a key issue to protect settlements against storm surges and floods. Around 60 % of the country is potentially affected by flood from the rivers and the sea. Most of the flood-susceptible areas are low-lying polders. Whereas flood protection has traditionally been focused on structural measures...

Real-time receding horizon trajectory generation for long heavy vehicle combinations on highways

The so-called A-double long heavy vehicle combination is a 32 meter long and up to 80 tonnes heavy double-trailer truck widely used in Canada and Australia today, and will be more abundant on the road also in Europe in the near future. They have the potential to decrease road transport cost, traffic congestion and generate lower emissions than...
