Abstract
Models of consensus are used to manage multiple agent systems in order to choose between different recommendations provided by the system. It is assumed that there is a central agent that solicits recommendations or plans from other agents. That agent the n determines the consensus [...]Abstract
The mass adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) requires the deployment of public charging stations. Such facilities are expected to employ distributed generation and storage units to reduce the stress on the grid and boost sustainable transportation. While prior work has made [...]Abstract
Many driver assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control require the identification of the closest vehicle that is in the host vehicle's path. This entails an assignment of detected vehicles to the host vehicle path or neighboring paths. After reviewing approaches to the estimation [...]Abstract
Evaluating the effectiveness and benefits of driver assistance systems is essential for improving the system performance. In this paper, we propose an efficient evaluation method for a semi-autonomous lane departure correction system. To achieve this, we apply a bounded Gaussian mixture [...]Abstract
The number of daily small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) operations in uncontrolled low altitude airspace is expected to reach into the millions. UAS Traffic Management (UTM) is an emerging concept aiming at the safe and efficient management of such very dense traffic, but few studies [...]Abstract
We consider slowly evolving, i.e. ADIABATIC, operational regime within a transmission level (continental scale) natural gas pipeline system. This allows us to introduce a set of nodal equations of reduced complexity describing gas transients in injection/consumption UNBALANCED (so-called [...]Abstract
Nowadays, huge efforts are made to modernize the air traffic management systems to cope with uncertainty, complexity and sub-optimality. An answer is to enhance the information sharing between the stakeholders. This paper introduces a framework that bridges the gap between air traffic [...]Abstract
Stability of Wardrop equilibria is analyzed for dynamical transportation networks in which the drivers' route choices are influenced by information at multiple temporal and spatial scales. The considered model involves a continuum of indistinguishable drivers commuting between a common [...]Abstract
Recently, researchers have proposed various autonomous intersection management techniques that enable autonomous vehicles to cross the intersection without traffic lights or stop signs. In particular, a priority-based coordination system with provable collision-free and deadlock-free [...]Abstract
Datacenters provide the infrastructure for cloud computing services used by millions of users everyday. Many such services are distributed over multiple datacenters at geographically distant locations possibly in different continents. These datacenters are then connected through high [...]
