Conference Object Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 18Cooperative adaptive cruise control for vehicle following during lane changes(Elsevier, 2017) Schmidt, Klaus W.This paper addresses the longitudinal vehicle behavior before and during lane changes. Hereby, it is desired that the lane-changing vehicle simultaneously follows its predecessors on the lanes before and after the lane change. Specifically, the lane changing vehicle should keep a safe distance to the rearmost predecessor vehicle, while maintaining a small inter vehicle spacing and supporting driving comfort. To this end, the paper develops an extension of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC). Instead of following a single vehicle as in the classical realization of CACC, it is proposed to follow a virtual vehicle that is evaluated based on distance measurements and communicated state information from the predecessor vehicles. A simulation study demonstrates the practicability of the proposed method. (C) 2017, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.

We first develop an algorithm that performs a lane change of a single vehicle in the shortest possible time. This algorithm is then applied iteratively in order to handle all lane changes required on the considered road segment while guaranteeing traffic safety. Various example scenarios illustrate the functionality of our algorithm.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 41Lane Change Scheduling for Autonomous Vehicles(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Atagoziyev, Maksat; Schmidt, Klaus W.; Schmidt, Ece G.; 271229The subject of this paper is the coordination of lane changes of autonomous vehicles on a two-lane road segment before reaching a given critical position.
