In automated lane-free traffic, vehicles can choose any arbitrary lateral location. This
enables vehicle flocking where, compared to platooning, the grouping of vehicles is possible …

Due to the manoeuvre complexity, models describing the platoon formation process on
urban roads are lacking in the literature. Inspired by flocking behaviours in nature, we …

While traffic lanes were initially introduced as essential instruments for simplifying driving
tasks for human drivers and increasing traffic safety, their necessity with the emergence and …

This study presents a strategy for platoon formation and evolution of connected and
autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in free-flow traffic. The proposed strategy is based on swarm …

The growing number of vehicles that travel on existing roads leads to congested traffic,
which involves the increase of fuel consumption, longer journey times and driving stress …

Cooperative formation and control of autonomous vehicles (AVs) promise increased
efficiency and safety on public roads. In single-lane mixed traffic consisting of AVs and …

To resolve the issues of traffic fatality and congestion in modern transportation systems, this
paper proposes a novel hierarchical flocking control framework for multiple connected and …

Cooperative control of multiple autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) with flocking algorithms
has promising potential to tackle the issues of traffic congestion and accidents. This paper …

Existing research has revealed that multi‐vehicle coordinated decision making and control
can achieve an improvement in both traffic efficiency and driving safety. In the multi‐lane …

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provide the most intriguing opportunity to reduce
pollution, energy consumption, and travel delays. In this letter, we address the problem of …
