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. >

An adaptive dissemination mechanism for inter-vehicle communication-based decentralized traffic information systems

TL;DR: An adaptive dissemination mechanism for IVC in decentralized traffic information systems where each participating vehicle can adapt their transmission interval according to the current traffic speed and also disseminate the traffic information of different segments at different ratesaccording to the distance to its current position is described.

Collision avoidance among AGVs at junctions

TL;DR: In this article, two controllers are suggested that by design guarantee no collision between two vehicles at the junctions, and the control laws obtained are used for finding out the initial conditions that will be safe under both of these laws, or at least under one law.

Optimal routing for automated highway systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a routing guidance approach that can be used in Automated Highway Systems (AHS), in which intelligent vehicles organized in platoons drive to their destination, controlled by a hierarchical control framework.

Design of entry and exit maneuvers for IVHS

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the design of entry and exit maneuvers for vehicles entering and exiting from automated highway systems (AHS), assuming that traffic on AHS is organized according to the IVHS (intelligent vehicle highway systems) architecture of Varaiya (1993).

Tackling IoT Ultra Large Scale Systems: Fog Computing in Support of Hierarchical Emergent Behaviors

TL;DR: This chapter takes a first step to validate Hierarchical Emergent Behaviors (HEB) concepts through the study of two basic self-driven car “primitives”: exiting a platoon formation, and maneuvering in anticipation of obstacles beyond the range of on-board sensors.

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.
