Gap Setting Control of ACC‐Equipped Vehicles for Enhancing Traffic Flow: Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
In this paper, we propose a double deep Q network–based strategy that controls the gap settings of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to simultaneously improve traffic flow efficiency and stability. Our approach utilises the existing manufacturer‐developed short and long gap settings of adaptive cruise control systems, which have undergone ...

Platoon Joint EKF for Improved Road Friction Estimation in Autonomous Platoons

open access: yesIEEE Access
The advantages inherent to autonomous vehicle platoons render them a pivotal component in the evolution of intelligent transportation systems. Given the minimal spacing between vehicles in such a platoon, ensuring collision-free travel necessitates a ...

Particle filter state estimator for large urban networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper applies a particle filter (PF) state estimator to urban traffic networks. The traffic network consists of signalized intersections, the roads that link these intersections, and sensors that detect the passage time of vehicles.

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

open access: yes, 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.

Traffic Signal Coordination and Optimization for Urban Arterials with Emission Reduction Target

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study focuses on developing, validating and applying simulation‐driven optimisation models for urban arterial traffic signal coordination, with a central emphasis on reconciling traffic operational efficiency (e.g., reduced travel delay and minimised stops) with low‐carbon emission reduction (e.g., CO2, NOx and fuel consumption mitigation ...

Experimental verification of vehicle platoon control algorithms

open access: yesPeriodica Polytechnica Transportation Engineering, 2013
Organizing a group of vehicles into a vehicle platoon in a way that, except for the leading vehicle, each platoon member can be autonomously driven has been a research goal for decades. Among other benefits this results in a decrease of fuel consump- tion and also in the driver’s workload and an increase in a better use of road capacity.
