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 …
Quantifying air quality benefits resulting from few autonomous vehicles stabilizing traffic
It is anticipated that in the near future, the penetration rate of vehicles with some autonomous capabilities (e.g., adaptive cruise control, lane following, full automation, etc.) …
