The paper considers the problem of controlling Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) traveling through a three-entry roundabout so as to jointly minimize both the travel time and the energy consumption while providing speed-dependent safety guarantees, as well as satisfying velocity and acceleration constraints. We first design a systematic approach to dynamically determine the safety constraints and derive the unconstrained optimal control solution. A joint optimal control and barrier function (OCBF) method is then applied to efficiently obtain a controller that optimally track the unconstrained optimal solution while guaranteeing all the constraints. Simulation experiments are performed to compare the optimal controller to a baseline of human-driven vehicles showing effectiveness under symmetric and asymmetric roundabout configurations, balanced and imbalanced traffic rates and different sequencing rules for CAVs.

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), particularly those with a hybrid electric powertrain, have the potential to significantly improve vehicle energy savings in real-world driving conditions. In particular, the Eco-Driving problem seeks to design
optimal speed and power usage profiles based on available information from connectivity and advanced mapping features to minimize the fuel consumption over an itinerary. This paper presents a hierarchical multi-layer Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach for improving the fuel economy of a 48V mild-hybrid powertrain in a connected vehicle environment. Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) is used to solve the Receding Horizon Optimal Control Problem (RHOCP), where the terminal cost for the RHOCP is approximated as the base-policy obtained from the long-term optimization. The controller was extensively tested virtually (using both deterministic and Monte Carlo simulations) across multiple real-world routes where energy savings of more than 20% have been demonstrated. Further, the developed controller was deployed and tested at a proving ground in real-time on a test vehicle equipped with a rapid prototyping embedded controller. Real-time in-vehicle testing confirmed the energy savings observed in simulation and demonstrated the ability of the developed controller to be effective in real-time applications.
By using various sensors to measure the surroundings and sharing local sensor information with the surrounding vehicles through wireless networks, connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are expected to increase safety, efficiency, and capacity of ou
r transportation systems. However, the increasing usage of sensors has also increased the vulnerability of CAVs to sensor faults and adversarial attacks. Anomalous sensor values resulting from malicious cyberattacks or faulty sensors may cause severe consequences or even fatalities. In this paper, we increase the resilience of CAVs to faults and attacks by using multiple sensors for measuring the same physical variable to create redundancy. We exploit this redundancy and propose a sensor fusion algorithm for providing a robust estimate of the correct sensor information with bounded errors independent of the attack signals, and for attack detection and isolation. The proposed sensor fusion framework is applicable to a large class of security-critical Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). To minimize the performance degradation resulting from the usage of estimation for control, we provide an $H_{infty}$ controller for CACC-equipped CAVs capable of stabilizing the closed-loop dynamics of each vehicle in the platoon while reducing the joint effect of estimation errors and communication channel noise on the tracking performance and string behavior of the vehicle platoon. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our methods.
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) rely on the correctness of position and other vehicle kinematics information to fulfill various driving tasks such as vehicle following, lane change, and collision avoidance. However, a malicious vehicle may se
nd false sensor information to the other vehicles intentionally or unintentionally, which may cause traffic inconvenience or loss of human lives. Here, we take the advantage of cloud-computing and increase the resilience of CAVs to malicious vehicles by assuming each vehicle shares its local sensor information with other vehicles to create information redundancy on the cloud side. We exploit this redundancy and propose a sensor fusion algorithm for the cloud, capable of providing a robust state estimation of all vehicles in the cloud under the condition that the number of malicious information is sufficiently small. Using the proposed estimator, we provide an algorithm for isolating malicious vehicles. We use numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of our methods.
This paper deals with the lateral control of a convoy of autonomous and connected following vehicles (ACVs) for executing an Emergency Lane Change (ELC) maneuver. Typically, an ELC maneuver is triggered by emergency cues from the front or the end of
convoy as a response to either avoiding an obstacle or making way for other vehicles to pass. From a safety viewpoint, connectivity of ACVs is essential as it entails obtaining or exchanging information about other ACVs in the convoy. This paper assumes that ACVs have reliable connectivity and that every following ACV has the information about GPS position traces of the lead and immediately preceding vehicles in the convoy. This information provides a discretized preview of the trajectory to be tracked. Based on the available information, this article focuses on two schemes for synthesizing lateral control of ACVs based on(a) a single composite ELC trajectory that fuses lead and preceding vehicles GPS traces and (b) separate ELC trajectories based on preview data of preceding and lead vehicles. The former case entails the construction of a single composite ELC trajectory, determine the cross-track error, heading and yaw rate errors with respect to this trajectory and synthesize a lateral control action. The latter case entails the construction of two separate trajectories corresponding to the lead vehicles and preceding vehicles data separately and the subsequent computation of two sets of associated errors and lateral control actions and combining them to provide a steering command. Numerical and experimental results corroborate the effectiveness of these two schemes.
The emergence of the connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology enables numerous advanced applications in our transportation system, benefiting our daily travels in terms of safety, mobility, and sustainability. However, vehicular communication
technologies such as Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) or Cellular-Based Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) communications unavoidably introduce issues like communication delay and packet loss, which will downgrade the performances of any CAV applications. In this study, we propose a consensus-based motion estimation methodology to estimate the vehicle motion when the vehicular communication environment is not ideal. This methodology is developed based on the consensus-based feedforward/feedback motion control algorithm, estimating the position and speed of a CAV in the presence of communication delay and packet loss. The simulation study is conducted in a traffic scenario of unsignalized intersections, where CAVs coordinate with each other through V2X communications and cross intersections without any full stop. Game engine-based human-in-the-loop simulation results shows the proposed motion estimation methodology can cap the position estimation error to 0.5 m during periodic packet loss and time-variant communication delay.
