This paper considers firstly the development and deployment of the infrastructure to emulate and to verify the behavior of stop-and-go waves present on highways based on mOway mobile robots. Secondly, the paper illustrates the way to find a solution to mitigate the stop-and-go waves, by implementing and testing in simulation and in real-time different control strategies. Radio Frequency communications...
The increased traffic flow on both existing highways and city roads leads to the appearance of stop-and-go waves which have many disadvantages, e.g., increased risk of accidents, higher fuel consumption, increased pollution, increased wear of vehicle mechanical parts, driving stress and passenger discomfort. The platooning of vehicles could be the solution to this problem by enforcing them to follow...
A bottleneck on a highway is a daily occurring phenomenon. Everyday car accidents, long queues and stop-and-go waves are introduced by the driver's behavior. In this work, an effective control algorithm for emulating a bottleneck situation on a highway is presented using a set of mobile robots that can be used to educate young control engineers. We use a combination of i) an in-line leader-follower...
<?Pub Dtl?>This paper presents the development, structure, implementation, and some applications of a remote laboratory for teaching automatic control concepts to engineering students. There are two applications: formation control of mobile robots and a ball-plate system. In teaching control engineering, there are two main approaches to control design: model-based control and non-model-based...
