Generalized gap acceptance models for unsignalized intersections [PDF]
, 2018 This paper contributes to the modeling and analysis of unsignalized intersections. In classical gap acceptance models vehicles on the minor road accept any gap greater than the CRITICAL gap, and reject gaps below this threshold, where the gap is the time

How to ensure control of cooperative vehicle and truck platoons using Meaningful Human Control
European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2021 Vehicle cooperation, not vehicle automation, will yield the greatest benefits on road traffic. However, satisfactory human control over platoons of cooperative vehicles still has a large number of uncertainties and issues to be addressed. This paper aims
