Autonomous vehicles (AVs), also called driverless vehicles, according to SAE International
(2016) levels 4 and 5 definitions, are the next revolution in transport. This thesis provides an …

In this study, we evaluate the effects of electric vehicle (EV) lanes in which only EV drivers
enjoy the benefits of a reduction of travel time like the HOV lanes, and EV/Toll lanes whose …

In presence of the emerging technology of automated vehicles, it is anticipated that the
future traffic system would be comprised of mixed traffic with both self-driving autonomous …

Multiagent coordination algorithms provide unique insights into the challenging problem of
alleviating traffic congestion. What is particularly interesting in this class of problem is that no …

As autonomous machines, such as automated vehicles (AVs) and robots, become pervasive
in society, they will inevitably face moral dilemmas where they must make decisions that risk …

Using the classic prisoner's dilemma framework in game theory, this paper argues that the
current emphasis on occupant protection may result in a pareto inferior outcome. Shifting the …

The traditional build-and-expand approach is not a viable solution to keep roadway traffic
rolling safely, so technological solutions, such as autonomous vehicles (AVs), are favored …

Self-driving vehicles (SDVs)–above the SAE automation level 4–are designed to operate
without human intervention [1]. Due to the expected advantages attributed to SDVs, such as …

The prospective introduction of autonomous cars into public traffic raises the question of how
such systems should behave when an accident is inevitable. Due to concerns with self …

Ongoing debates about ethical guidelines for autonomous vehicles mostly focus on
variations of the 'Trolley Problem'. Using variations of this ethical dilemma in preference …
