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 …

ABSTRACT Cooperative Vehicular Platooning (Co-VP) is a prime example of Cooperative
Cyber-Physical Systems (Co-CPS), offering great potential for enhancing road safety by …

Platoons of autonomous vehicles are being investigated as a way to increase road capacity
and fuel efficiency. Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is one approach to …

Platooning of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) is a key component of smart and connected
highways and is expected to bring remarkable fuel savings and emission reduction. In this …

This paper presents a novel framework of distributed learning model predictive control
(DLMPC) for multi-agent systems performing iterative tasks. The framework adopts a non …

Multiagent consensus systems are commonly studied in regard to their scalability and
performance. Their scalability relies heavily on the underlying communication system and its …

This paper addresses the longitudinal control problem of an on-ramp vehicle merging into a
platoon on the main road. To tackle this challenge, a finite-time model predictive control …

This thesis investigates cooperative maneuvers for aerial vehicles autonomously landing on
moving platforms. The objective has been to develop methods for safely performing such …

Cooperation is increasingly being applied in the control of interconnected multi-agent
systems, and it introduces many benefits. In particular, cooperation can improve the …

This paper proposes a distributed model predictive control (DMPC) approach for an urban
traffic network (UTN) system. The control objective is to minimize the traffic congestion and …
