Surveys and Tutorials in the Applied Mathematical Sciences

Orosz, Gábor; Molnár, Tamás G.

This book explores the dynamics, stability, and control of connected vehicles, offering a deep dive into how vehicle networks and traffic flows are influenced by automation and connectivity. Blending theory and application, it is ideal for readers with interests in dynamical systems, control theory, and time delay systems, as well as practitioners and researchers working on vehicle dynamics, traffic modeling, and connected and automated vehicle technologies.

A foundational understanding of linear control systems, differential equations, and transfer functions is recommended for readers.

Structured across five insightful chapters:

• Chapter 1 introduces the topic and positions it within the current body of research.
• Chapter 2 analyzes human driver behavior and the stability of traffic involving human-driven vehicles.
• Chapter 3 focuses on longitudinal control in automated vehicles, including cruise and adaptive cruise control.
• Chapter 4 examines how vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication enhances control strategies and enables networked vehicle coordination.
• Chapter 5 presents real-world experimental results using connected cruise control in mixed traffic environments.

Whether you are an academic, engineer, or researcher, this book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on one of the most transformative areas in modern transportation.
