van der Ploeg, C. (author), Smit, R. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author), Silvas, E. (author)Developing safe automated vehicles that can be proactive, safe, and comfortable in mixed traffic requires improved planning methods that are risk-averse and that account for predictions of the motion of other road users. To consider these criteria, in this article, we propose a nonlinear model-predictive trajectory generator scheme, which...conference paper 2022

Smit, R. (author), van der Ploeg, C. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author), Silvas, E. (author)The urban environment is amongst the most difficult domains for autonomous vehicles. The vehicle must be able to plan a safe route on challenging road layouts, in the presence of various dynamic traffic participants such as vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians and in various environmental conditions. The challenge remains to have motion planners...conference paper 2022

Sanchez, M.M. (author), Elfring, J. (author), Silvas, E. (author), van de Molengraft, R. (author)To operate safely, an automated vehicle (AV) must anticipate how the environment around it will evolve. For that purpose, it is important to know which prediction models are most appropriate for every situation. Currently, assessment of prediction models is often performed over a set of trajectories without distinction of the type of movement...conference paper 2022

Sanchez, M.M. (author), Silvas, E. (author), Pogosov, D. (author), Mocanu, D.C. (author)Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is a solution to improve the quality of on-road traveling in terms of throughput, safety, efficiency and comfort. However, road users that do not communicate their planned activities can create dangerous situations, so prediction models are needed to foresee and anticipate their motions in the drivable space....conference paper 2020

Ibrahim, A. (author), Cicic, M. (author), Goswami, D. (author), Basten, T. (author), Johansson, K.H. (author)Vehicle platooning has been attracting attention recently because of its ability to improve road capacity, safety and fuel efficiency. Vehicles communicate using Vehicle-to- Vehicle (V2V) wireless communication, making their status (acceleration, position, etc.) available to other vehicles. Shock waves, i.e. zones of reduced traffic speed that...conference paper 2019

Wang, W. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Zhang, F. (author)Early detection of congestion is essential to traffic management. Conventional loop or microwave detectors provide flow and speed information but involve significant delays and they offer sparse coverage. To improve this situation, other data sources must be used. This paper investigates the potential use of floating car data (FCD) and ETC ...conference paper 2018

Verhaegh, J. (author), Ploeg, J. (author), van Nunen, E. (author), Teerhuis, A. (author)This paper presents a method for trajectory control, based on feedback linearization to guide an Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV). The novelty of this work, is the adaptation of a reference trajectory with respect to a desired velocity in real-time to avoid collisions using a time-scaling mechanism. Employing this mechanism, collision avoidance by...conference paper 2017
