Abstract
This thesis deals with a model predictive control framework for control design of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, where car-following tasks are under control. The framework is applied to design several autonomous and cooperative controllers and to examine the controller properties [...]Abstract
Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication has recently passed from a research topic to the subject of Field Operational Testing (FOT) and pilot deployment. Current state-of-the art Car-to-Car and Car-to-Infrastructure (C2X) functions will however only inform the driver, not interfere in actual [...]Abstract
Modern automated and cooperative driver assistance systems (CoDAS) rely deeply on the position estimation. Regardless of absolute positioning accuracy, the relative position in regard to driving environment and other vehicles needs to be of high quality to enable sophisticated functions. [...]Abstract
We exploit new types of vehicles, such as Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), to control transport related emissions in urban environments. By appropriately choosing whether single power-split hybrid vehicles should be operated in fully electric or in fuel mode we regulate where [...]Abstract
International audience; On the path to zero fatalities on the roadways, all vehicles have to periodically broadcast cooperative awareness messages (CAMs) in a timely and reliable manner, even in areas of high traffic density. The carrier senses multiple access with collision avoidance [...]
