We consider the problem of incentivization and optimal control of autonomous vehicles for improving traffic congestion. In our scenario, autonomous vehicles must be incentivized in order to participate in traffic improvement. Using the theory and methods of optimal transport, we propose a constrained optimization framework over dynamics governed by partial differential equations, so that we can optimally select a portion of vehicles to be incentivized and controlled. The goal of the optimization is to obtain a uniform distribution of vehicles over the spatial domain. To achieve this, we consider two types of penalties on vehicle density, one is the $L^2$ cost and the other is a multiscale-norm cost, commonly used in fluid-mixing problems. To solve this non-convex optimization problem, we introduce a novel algorithm, which iterates between solving a convex optimization problem and propagating the flow of uncontrolled vehicles according to the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards model. We perform numerical simulations, which suggest that the optimization of the $L^2$ cost is ineffective while optimization of the multiscale norm is effective. The results also suggest the use of a dedicated lane for this type of control in practice.

In this paper we present a new algorithmic realization of a projection-based scheme for general convex constrained optimization problem. The general idea is to transform the original optimization problem to a sequence of feasibility problems by itera
tively constraining the objective function from above until the feasibility problem is inconsistent. For each of the feasibility problems one may apply any of the existing projection methods for solving it. In particular, the scheme allows the use of subgradient projections and does not require exact projections onto the constraints sets as in existing similar methods. We also apply the newly introduced concept of superiorization to optimization formulation and compare its performance to our scheme. We provide some numerical results for convex quadratic test problems as well as for real-life optimization problems coming from medical treatment planning.
The offset optimization problem seeks to coordinate and synchronize the timing of traffic signals throughout a network in order to enhance traffic flow and reduce stops and delays. Recently, offset optimization was formulated into a continuous optimi
zation problem without integer variables by modeling traffic flow as sinusoidal. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm to solve this new formulation to near-global optimality on a large-scale. Specifically, we solve a convex relaxation of the nonconvex problem using a tree decomposition reduction, and use randomized rounding to recover a near-global solution. We prove that the algorithm always delivers solutions of expected value at least 0.785 times the globally optimal value. Moreover, assuming that the topology of the traffic network is tree-like, we prove that the algorithm has near-linear time complexity with respect to the number of intersections. These theoretical guarantees are experimentally validated on the Berkeley, Manhattan, and Los Angeles traffic networks. In our numerical results, the empirical time complexity of the algorithm is linear, and the solutions have objectives within 0.99 times the globally optimal value.
Our aim is to present a new model which encompasses pace optimization and motor control effort for a runner on a fixed distance. We see that for long races, the long term behaviour is well approximated by a turnpike problem. We provide numerical simu
lations quite consistent with this approximation which leads to a simplified problem. We are also able to estimate the effect of slopes and ramps.
We study a family of optimal control problems in which one aims at minimizing a cost that mixes a quadratic control penalization and the variance of the system, both for finitely many agents and for the mean-field dynamics as their number goes to inf
inity. While solutions of the discrete problem always exist in a unique and explicit form, the behavior of their macroscopic counterparts is very sensitive to the magnitude of the time horizon and penalization parameter. When one minimizes the final variance, there always exists a Lipschitz-in-space optimal controls for the infinite dimensional problem, which can be obtained as a suitable extension of the optimal controls for the finite-dimensional problems. The same holds true for variance maximizations whenever the time horizon is sufficiently small. On the contrary, for large final times (or equivalently for small penalizations of the control cost), it can be proven that there does not exist Lipschitz-regular optimal controls for the macroscopic problem.
This paper presents scalable traffic stability analysis for both pure autonomous vehicle (AV) traffic and mixed traffic based on continuum traffic flow models. Human vehicles are modeled by a non-equilibrium traffic flow model, i.e., Aw-Rascle-Zhang
(ARZ), which is unstable. AVs are modeled by the mean field game which assumes AVs are rational agents with anticipation capacities. It is shown from linear stability analysis and numerical experiments that AVs help stabilize the traffic. Further, we quantify the impact of AVs penetration rate and controller design on the traffic stability. The results may provide insights for AV manufacturers and city planners.
