Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) aim at improving the efficiency and safety of transportation. In dense traffic, vehicles are aggregated to vehicle strings that travel on the same lane, whereby it is desired to maintain a small but safe distance between the vehicles in order to ensure driving comfort and safety. Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) is a technology that is developed to address this issue. Hereby, the condition of string stability is highly relevant since it ensures the attenuation of disturbances along a vehicle string. When designing controllers for CACC, it is required to select a signal with respect to which string stability should be fulfilled. In the literature, the most common signals for this purpose are the distance error signal and the acceleration signal. Although various design and analysis methods for string stability based on these signals are available, it is not clear which of these signals is more suitable for fulfilling string stability in practice. To this end, this thesis compares different methods from the existing literature regarding their suitability for the realization of CACC in practice. As the main outcome, it is shown that, although methods that are based on the error signal are functional in case of ideal conditions such as negligible delays, they are clearly outperformed by methods that use the acceleration signals in realistic scenarios with both actuator and communication delays.

Exploring critical success factors for blockchain-based intelligent transportation systems
Çaldağ, Murat Tahir; Gökalp, Ebru (2020-01-01)
Utilization of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) provides increasing demands on decreasing traffic congestions, transportation safety, and environmental problems as well as increasing transportation capacity. Over the past few years, one of the most disruptive and transformational technologies, blockchain technology, has emerged. As a result of offering more security, privacy, traceability, transparency, and decentralized authority, the utilization of blockchain technology in ITS have increased drast...
Transfer functions with positive impulse response: Feedback controller design and application to cooperative adaptive cruise control
İşler, İbrahim Tayyip; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-7)
Driver assistance systems are increasingly employed to replace human driver functionality. Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) automates the longitudinal vehicle motion to support safe vehicle following using distance measurements and state information communicated among vehicles. A basic requirement when using CACC is to attenuate fluctuations along vehicle strings, which is captured by the formal condition of string stability. Hereby, different notions of string stability exist in the literature ba...
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 ...
Realistic Simulation of IEEE 802.11p Channel in Mobile Vehicle to Vehicle Communication
Islam, Tarikul; Hu, Yongchang; Onur, Ertan; Boltjes, Bert; De Jongh, J. F. C. M. (2013-04-18)
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is becoming an important paradigm, because of its ability to enhance safety and to mitigate congestion on road traffic scenarios. Realizing the fact that data collection scheme from in-situ test beds for large number of vehicles is always expensive and time consuming, before being employed in large scale, such safety critical system should be tested narrowing down the gap between real circumstances and analytical models in a simulation platform. It is evident that un...
String Stability Under Actuator Saturation on Straight Level Roads: Sufficient Conditions and Optimal Trajectory Generation
Bingol, Hilal; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2022-01-01)
The heterogeneity of vehicles is an important factor when realizing cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) in practice. Specifically, it has to be considered that platoons generally consist of vehicles with both different dynamic properties and actuator limits on the engine and braking force, which is expected to have a negative impact on important properties such as string stability. Accordingly, the subject of this paper is the preservation of string stability for CACC in heterogeneous vehicle strings...
