TLDR
It is shown that, at the heart of those concepts are simple coordination and control patterns that can be expressed in terms of sets and of the relations among the elements of those sets.Abstract:
New concepts for operational missions to be performed by networked vehicles and systems are presented. It is shown that, at the heart of those concepts are simple coordination and control patterns that can be expressed in terms of sets and of the relations among the elements of those sets. A specification and design framework for the networked operation of multiple vehicles and systems is proposed, and related to developments in control, computation, and networking.read more

Coordinated Control of Networked Vehicles: An Autonomous Underwater System
TL;DR: In this article, the specification and design of coordinated control strategies for networked vehicle systems are discussed, illustrated with an example of the coordinated operation of two teams of autonomous underwater vehicles collecting data to find the local minimum of a given oceanographic scalar field.

Smart cars on smart roads: problems of control
TL;DR: Key features of one automated intelligent vehicle/highway system (IVHS) are outlined, it is shown how core driver decisions are improved, and a basic IVHS control system architecture is proposed and a design of some control subsystems is offered.
Smart cars on smart roads: problems of control
TL;DR: 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.
