"In the last years, progress has been made attempting to replace a unique, complex and expensive vehicle equipped with several sensors such as LIDAR, RGB cameras, thermal sensor, etc. with a group of small vehicles, each...

Abstract Model predictive control is widely used in the design of autonomous driving algorithms. However, its parameters are sensitive to dynamically varying driving conditions, making it difficult to be implemented into...

Abstract The driver-automation shared driving is a transition to fully-autonomous driving, in which human driver and vehicular controller cooperatively share the control authority. This paper investigates the shared stee...

Abstract It is a striking fact that the path tracking accuracy of autonomous vehicles based on active front wheel steering is poor under high-speed and large-curvature conditions. In this study, an adaptive path tracking...

Abstract Environmental perception is one of the key technologies to realize autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are often equipped with multiple sensors to form a multi-source environmental perception system. Those ...

Abstract Autonomous vehicles require safe motion planning in uncertain environments, which are largely caused by surrounding vehicles. In this paper, a driving environment uncertainty-aware motion planning framework is p...

This study presents the development of a comprehensive dataset capturing interactions between autonomous vehicles (AVs) and traffic control devices, specifically traffic lights and stop signs. Derived from the Waymo Moti...

In a mixed traffic environment consisting of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and human-driven vehicles (HVs), platooning intensity serves as a critical metric, quantifying the strength of CAV clustering, with inhere...

Abstract Planning and decision-making technology at intersections is a comprehensive research problem in intelligent transportation systems due to the uncertainties caused by a variety of traffic participants. As wireles...

Recent studies and industry developments indicate that modular autonomous vehicles (MAVs) have the potential to enhance transportation systems by offering vehicles with adjustable capacities en route. However, the practi...

Governments often advocate for and implement policies to promote the development of new technologies, such as electric vehicles. Are these policies promoting new mobility modes applicable to autonomous vehicles (AVs)? In...

Both the US and the EU product liability regimes are based on the notion of defectiveness of the product. However, in the case of damages caused by autonomous vehicles, such notion proves to be profoundly inadequate for ...

The Level 3 autonomous vehicle (AV) is now a reality on the public roads. While the emergence of AV is to eliminate the traffic crashes due to human error by 90%, the unexpected or errant drivings on the roads would, how...

The purpose of this study is to critically review literature pertaining to the theoretical concept of perceived risk and its role in autonomous vehicle (AV) studies. A mapping on the placement of perceived risk to explai...

This study presents a performance comparison of a fuzzy logic controller with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller in an autonomous vehicle steering controller based on an improved swerve drive. The advant...

Human driven vehicles (HDVs) with selfish objectives cause low traffic efficiency in an un-signalized intersection. On the other hand, autonomous vehicles can overcome this inefficiency through perfect coordination. In t...

The fundamental diagram (FD) is a key tool in traffic flow theory, describing the relationship between traffic flow and density at the link level. Traditionally, FD estimation relies on data from static sensors, although...

Formation control of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) has shown significant potential for improving traffic safety and efficiency in multi-lane traffic. However, previous work has primarily focused on spatial coo...

Abstract DriveEmo-FL presents a privacy-preserving, radar-based emotion-recognition framework tailored for autonomous-vehicle (AV) cabins. Leveraging a compact embedded mmWave radar, the system captures upper-body emotio...

Abstract The emergence of connected and automated vehicles (CAV) indicates improved traffic mobility in future traffic transportation systems. This study addresses the research gap in macroscopic traffic modeling of mixe...

"Unmanned networked multirobot systems have the potential to accomplish complex field tasks with minimum human intervention. Motion coordination of vehicles that operate in different domains (land, sea, air) is one of th...

The transport industry has recently shown significant interest in unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), specifically for port and inland waterway transport. These systems can improve operational efficiency and safety, which ...

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating in harsh, communication-limited underwater environments require robust fault diagnosis systems to ensure mission success and safety. Existing model-based approaches suffer ...
