In this paper a novel hierarchical multi-level control scheme is proposed for freeway traffic
systems. Relying on a coupled PDE-ODE nominal model, capturing the interaction between …

Platoons of autonomous vehicles are being investigated as a way to increase road capacity
and fuel efficiency. Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is one approach to …

ABSTRACT Cooperative Vehicular Platooning (Co-VP) is a prime example of Cooperative
Cyber-Physical Systems (Co-CPS), offering great potential for enhancing road safety by …

Platooning of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) is a key component of smart and connected
highways and is expected to bring remarkable fuel savings and emission reduction. In this …

A plug-and-play model predictive control (PnP MPC) scheme is proposed for varying-
topology networks to track piecewise constant references. The proposed scheme al-lows …

Cooperation is increasingly being applied in the control of interconnected multi-agent
systems, and it introduces many benefits. In particular, cooperation can improve the …

This thesis focus on the development of compositional and efficient controller synthesis
approaches for cyber-physical systems (CPS). Indeed, while model-based techniques for …

This thesis investigates cooperative maneuvers for aerial vehicles autonomously landing on
moving platforms. The objective has been to develop methods for safely performing such …

A distributed model predictive control strategy is proposed for the formation tracking problem
of nonholonomic multivehicle systems, where each vehicle is modeled as a unicycle and is …

In this letter we propose algorithms to connect and disconnect nodes to/from an existing
graph, which are able to maintain the regularity of a graph while requiring minimal …
