In this paper a novel hierarchical multi-level control scheme is proposed for freeway traffic
systems. Relying on a coupled PDE-ODE nominal model, capturing the interaction between …

In this letter a coupled PDE-ODE model describing the interaction between the bulk traffic
flow and a platoon of connected vehicles is adopted to develop a control action aiming at …

In the conventional variable speed limit (VSL) strategy, the control area is fixed under
confined conditions. With the facility of the roadside unit, the control area for the VSL will …

When connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are widely used in the future, we can
foresee many essential applications, such as platoon formation and autonomous police …

In this paper a platoon-actuated mainstream traffic control is proposed to decongest
bottlenecks due to recurrent and nonrecurrent events. Indeed, differently from traditional …

Sag is a road section where a downhill changes into an uphill, and is a highway bottleneck.
We consider a system in which all vehicles are connected, and run on a single-lane road …

The advancements in automotive industry in vehicles communication and automation can
be efficiently exploited to introduce new traffic control and management methods. In this …

This paper proposes two control architectures to regulate traffic in freeway networks by
exploiting the presence of platoons of autonomous and connected vehicles. The idea is …

We consider a model describing the presence of a platoon of vehicles moving in the traffic
flow. The model consists of a coupled PDE-ODE system describing the interaction between …

This work investigates traffic control via controlled connected and autonomous vehicles
(CAVs) using novel controllers derived from the linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) theory …
