CIRCLES: Congestion Impacts Reduction via CAV-in-the-loop Lagrangian Energy Smoothing

The CIRCLES project aims to reduce fuel consumption for all vehicles in the traffic stream via intelligent control of a small number of connected and automated vehicles. Unlike …

Real-time distance estimation and filtering of vehicle headways for smoothing of traffic waves

In this paper we describe an experience report and field deployment of real-time filtering algorithms used with a robotic vehicle to smooth emergent traffic waves. When smoothing …
