This report describes the implementation of the regulation layer maneuvers for the hierarchical architecture in SmartPath. The report contains information regarding the simulation of automated vehicle control laws in the SmartPath environment. It also provides an overview of the set of maneuvers...

In this report, the implementation in the SHIFT programming language of regulation layer control laws for the hierarchical California PATH Automated Highway System (AHS) is presented. The implemented regulation layer control laws are derived after the safe-feedback based maneuvers designed in...

This report studies the problem of traffic control in the Automated Highway System (AHS) hierarchical architecture of the California PATH program. A link layer controller for the PATH AHS architecture is presented. It is shown that the proposed control laws stabilize the vehicular density and...

In this report control laws and maneuvers for high priority emergency vehicle transit on automated highways are presented. The work presented is specifically designed for use with the Partners for Automated Transit and Highways (PATH) hierarchical control architecture. The types of control laws...

This report addresses the problem of designing safe controllers for the hybrid system composed by the interaction of the regulation and coordination layers in the hierarchical California PATH Automated Highway System (AHS) architecture. Conditions to achieve safe platooning under normal mode of...

The purpose of this project is to extend and integrate existing results on fault diagnostics and fault management for passenger vehicles used in automated highway systems (AHS). These re-sults have been combined to form a fault diagnostic and management system for the longitudinal control system...

In this report, we describe the research carried out under PATH Task Order 4208. The objective of this project was to bridge the gap between the Automated Highway System (AHS) simulators SmartAHS and SmartCAP, by implementing an integrated AHS micro-meso simulation environment for analyzing a...

This report presents adaptive control algorithms for conventional modes of operation of MEMS z-axis gyroscopes. In an open-loop mode, an off-line self-calibration scheme is proposed for estimating fabrication imperfections and enhancing the performance of a gyroscope operating in open-loop mode....
