The subject of this paper is the coordination of lane changes of autonomous vehicles on a two-lane road segment before reaching a given critical position. We first develop an algorithm that performs a lane change of a single vehicle in the shortest possible time. This algorithm is then applied iteratively in order to handle all lane changes required on the considered road segment while guaranteeing traffic safety. Various example scenarios illustrate the functionality of our algorithm.

Lane change scheduling for connected and autonomous vehicles Atagoziev, Maksat; Güran Schmidt, Ece; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2023-02-01) The execution of lane changes has a strong impact on driving safety and traffic throughput. Therefore, it is highly desired to automate and coordinate lane changes. The subject of this paper is the scheduling of lane changes of a group of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) with the aim of minimizing the time during which all lane changes are completed, while keeping small inter-vehicle distances. To this end, the paper first develops an algorithm for minimizing the lane change time of a single CAV. Th...
Mobility-on-demand scenarios relying on lightweight autonomous and connected vehicles for large pedestrian areas and intermodal hubs Kumru, Murat; Makarem, Laleh; Gillet, Dens (null; 2017-10-05) This paper presents Mobility-On-Demand (MoD) scenarios relying on lightweight autonomous and connected vehicles to ease commuting in large pedestrian areas and intermodal hubs. In particular, we discuss the case of the EPFL campus as an example of a large pedestrian area and the case of the main Zurich train station as an example of a large intermodal hub. These two scenarios help to investigate the potential benefits and the implementation challenges of innovative lightweight autonomous and connected vehic...
Vehicle routing problem in cross dockswith shift-based time constraints on products Koçak, Menekşe; Serpil, Canan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2011) In this study, the capacitated vehicle routing problem with shift based time constraints is taken into consideration. The study stemmed from an application in a cross dock. The considered cross dock is assumed to feed directly the production lines of its customer. The customer has a just-in-time production system that requires producing only in necessary quantities at the necessary times. This necessitates the arrival of the parts/products collected from different suppliers at the customer at the beginning ...
Steering strategies for multi-axle vehicles Bayar, Kerem; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2008-01-01) The object of this study is to extend 4WS idea to an n-axle vehicle in general and to simulate sonic multi-axle vehicles with the derived strategies in an attempt to determine the best steering strategy. By extending the strategies used for four-wheel steering two-axle vehicles which have been extensively studied in literature, general strategies are established for an n-axle vehicle. Using integrated nonlinear ride and handling models in Matlab & Simulink, it is shown that lateral acceleration and yaw velo...
Communication and coordination for urban intelligent transportation: architecture and algorithms Atagoziev, Maksat; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2-10) In the scope of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), the automation and coordination of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) lane changes (LCs) have a strong impact on driving safety and traffic throughput. Accordingly, this thesis develops algorithms for the coordination of CAV LCs that are then used for controlling the traffic at intersections. First, this thesis focuses on the coordination of LCs of a group of CAVs to minimize the time when all LCs are completed, while keeping small inter-vehicle ...
