Safely Optimizing Highway Traffic with Robust Model Predictive Control-based Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control

, 2016
Road traffic crashes have been the leading cause of death among young people. Most of these accidents occur when the driver becomes distracted due to fatigue or external factors.

Fault-Tolerance by Graceful Degradation for Car Platoons [PDF]

, 2019
The key advantage of autonomous car platoons are their short inter-vehicle distances that increase traffic flow and reduce fuel consumption. However, this is challenging for operational and functional safety.

A Survey on Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Decision‐Making and Control of Intelligent Vehicles

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 1593-1615, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Reinforcement learning (RL) has been widely studied as an efficient class of machine learning methods for adaptive optimal control under uncertainties. In recent years, the applications of RL in optimised decision‐making and motion control of intelligent vehicles have received increasing attention.

Enhanced consensus control architecture for autonomous platoon utilizing multi‐agent reinforcement learning

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 17, Page 2561-2577, 14 July 2025.
Abstract Coordinating a platoon of connected and automated vehicles significantly improves traffic efficiency and safety. Current platoon control methods prioritize consistency and convergence performance but overlook the inherent interdependence between the platoon and the the non‐connected leading vehicle.

Stability Analysis of Heterogeneous Traffic Flow with Connected and Automated Vehicles: Joint Consideration of Communication Failures and Driver Takeover

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2022
As a primary stage of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), the cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) system takes some outstanding advantages such as accurate perception and timely reaction, which benefit from vehicular communication, over human-

A Survey on platoon-based vehicular cyber-physical systems [PDF]

, 2015
Vehicles on the road with some common interests can cooperatively form a platoon-based driving pattern, in which a vehicle follows another one and maintains a small and nearly constant distance to the preceding vehicle.

Rear-End Crash Risk of CACC-Manual Driven Mixed Flow Considering the Degeneration of CACC Systems

IEEE Access, 2019
The influence of (cooperative) adaptive cruise control (CACC/ACC) on rear-end crashes have been conducted by some previous studies. However, they usually did not consider the degeneration from stable CACC to unstable ACC when vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V ...

Modeling and Simulating Urban Traffic Flow Mixed With Regular and Connected Vehicles

IEEE Access, 2021
In the upcoming decades, connected vehicles will join regular vehicles on the road, and the characteristics of traffic flows will change accordingly. To better understand mixed traffic flow (regular vehicles and connected vehicles) characteristics, a ...
