Description of the research topic:
Detailed description of the research:
a) Background:
Autonomous vehicles that are currently under development and testing are soon to be introduced to public roads. These vehicles will form a special class of vehicles in the traffic composition, and their effect on traffic flow is a topic worthy of research. In the coming decades automation of public transport vehicles shows great potential.
b) Goal of research:
The goal of the research is twofold. First, complex analysis of the impact of autonomous vehicles on traffic flow. Second, research of possible traffic control algorithms with focus on autonomous public transport vehicles.
Develop realistic traffic flow models which can capture the effect of autonomous vehicles and suitable for modern control applications.
Research of advanced modeling, control and estimation methods are also intended. Apply the learned techniques in the field of traffic modeling, autonomous vehicles and public transport (e.g. V2I/V2V technology, platooning, signalized intersection control).
c) Main tasks of research:
• State-of-the-art literature research: modern control theory, traffic modeling etc.
• Modeling and simulation of an urban traffic network.
• Research of modeling and control problems of public transport vehicles.
• Analysis, test and validation of the developed models and control
algorithms using measurements or simulation results.
e) Minimum expected scientific results:
• Two papers in international SCI indexed journals.
• Three articles in international conference papers.
