Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), with the capability to exchange information with
other CAVs and the infrastructure, open up new opportunities in road traffic systems …

The paper presents a movement strategy for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in
a lane-free traffic environment with vehicle nudging by use of an optimal control approach …

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 …

The recently introduced TrafficFluid concept proposes that automated vehicles drive lane-
free, thus enabling capacity sharing between the two opposite road directions via real-time …

A new traffic paradigm has been recently proposed for automated vehicles, characterized by
two combined principles: lane-free roads and vehicle nudging; the latter implying that …

Finite-time optimal feedback control for highway traffic networks under information
constraints is studied. The primary objective is to design a fully decentralized state-feedback …

The vehicle nudging behaviour suggests that a vehicle in the traffic flow may induce a
'pushing effect'to its preceding vehicle. In other words, while the traditional vehicle-following …

Traffic congestion is a long-lasting worldwide problem and even becoming more severe in
well-developed regions. Reversible lanes have been used worldwide on various road types …

Lane-free vehicle driving has been recently proposed for connected automated vehicles on
highways or arterials. Lane-free traffic implies that incremental changes of the road width …

This paper deals with the issue of robust model predictive control (MPC)-based automated
vehicle platooning control under acceleration constraints. A unified framework is established …
