Distributed Graph-Based Control of Convoys of Heterogeneous Vehicles using Curvilinear Road Coordinates

Alcherio Martinoli, Milos Vasic, Inaki Navarro Oiza, Florian Zimmermann

This paper investigates the problem of controlling a heterogeneous group of vehicles with the aim of forming multi-lane convoys. We use a distributed, graph-based control law, implemented in a longitudinal coordinate system parallel to the road. Each vehic ...

Modeling consideration for electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles in car renewal

Michel Bierlaire, Matthieu Marie Cochon de Lapparent, Anna Fernández Antolín, Maurin Baillif

We propose a behaviorally sound model capable of simulating choice set generation for car renewal. It appears at an upper layer of a choice model of a new car. Our model sheds light on potential latent demand for electric cars. We develop a hierarchical la ...
