Estimating impacts of innovative mobility concepts with the New Mobility Modeller

This paper presents a model specifically developed to explore the mobility impacts of innovative mobility concepts, based on connected and automated driving and shared mobility. It is an explorative model for destination choice and mode choice, with a network fundamental diagram to assess impacts on mileage, delays and vehicle numbers in a city...

Cut-in Scenario Prediction for Automated Vehicles

Truck platooning is gaining more and more interest thanks to the benefits on improved traffic efficiency, reduced fuel consumption and emissions. To gain these benefits, it typically involves small following distances . Due to the small following distances, the cut-in manoeuvre of target vehicles becomes safety critical and requires the...

Looking forward: In-vehicle auxiliary display positioning affects carsickness

Carsickness is associated with a mismatch between actual and anticipated sensory signals. Occupants of automated vehicles, especially when using a display, are at higher risk of becoming carsick than drivers of conventional vehicles. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of positioning of in-vehicle displays, and subsequent available...

Scenario-Based Safety Assessment Framework for Automated Vehicles

Interaction protocols for cooperative merging and lane reduction scenarios

This paper presents the interaction protocols developed for execution of two common scenarios in daily traffic using cooperative automated vehicles. The first proposed scenario addresses merging of a (semi-)automated car on a highway within a platoon of (semi-)automated vehicles. The second scenario is an extension of the first scenario with a...

ControlCIT: A control design and implementation toolbox for Automatic Vehicle Guidance

The main objective of an Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) is to autonomously transport goods and/or people. This objective has to be realized under severe constraints imposed by safety and reliability requirements. In order to efficiently develop a control system for the targeted application area, a framework is established which facilitates the...
