A Virtual Vehicle Based Coordination Framework For Autonomous Vehicles in Heterogeneous Scenarios

Denis Gillet, Laleh Makarem

This work presents a novel virtual vehicle based decentralized coordination framework for Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs). We explore the idea of CAVs being capable of positioning virtual vehicles to share their intended maneuver as well as request co ...

Target-based fiber assignment for large survey spectrographs

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Laleh Makarem

Next generation massive spectroscopic survey projects have to process a massive amount of targets. The preparation of subsequent observations should be feasible in a reasonable amount of time. We present a fast algorithm for target assignment that scales a ...

Fluent coordination of autonomous vehicles at intersections

Denis Gillet, Laleh Makarem

In this paper we introduce a new decentralized navigation function for coordination of autonomous vehicles at intersections. The main contribution is a navigation function designed for vehicles with predefined paths that uses expected time to intersection ...

Information sharing among autonomous vehicles crossing an intersection

Denis Gillet, Laleh Makarem

In this paper we compare the performance of autonomous vehicles at intersections with respect to the type of information shared. For this purpose we consider the cases where vehicles share or not information about their inertia and their intention at the i ...

Micro-simulation Modeling of Coordination of Automated Guided Vehicles at Intersection

Denis Gillet, André-Gilles Dumont, Laleh Makarem, Minh Hai Pham

One of the challenging problems with autonomous vehicles is their performance at intersections. This paper shows an alternative control method for the coordination of autonomous vehicles at intersections. The proposed approach is grounded in multi-robot co ...
