In this paper, an automated intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS) is described, and a four-layer hierarchical control architecture is proposed to decompose this problem into more manageable units.
Abstract
Key features of one automated intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS) are outlined, it is shown how core driver decisions are improved, a basic IVHS control system architecture is proposed, and a design of some control subsystems is offered. Some experimental work is summarized. A system that promises a threefold increase in capacity is outlined, and a four-layer hierarchical control architecture that decomposes this problem into more manageable units is proposed. >

Stability and performance of switching Kalman filters

TL;DR: In this paper, a switching Kalman filter is proposed and its performance analyzed for the state estimation problem of switched affine systems, and it is proved that this filter leads to an optimal and stable estimation for all switching sequences of the system.

Preview Control for Vehicle Lateral Guidance in Highway Automation

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous time deterministic optimal preview control algorithm is applied to the lateral guidance of a vehicle for an automated highway, where the front wheel steering angle of the vehicle is controlled so that the vehicle follows the center for a lane with small tracking error and maintains good ride quality simultaneously.
