This report is concerned with the modeling and control issues regarding braking in an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) setting. Specifically, it addresses the issue of vehicle control in an automated highway system, brake actuation and coordinated brake and throttle switching. It first...

This report presents an algorithm for the detection of collision between two vehicles. The theory of a pseudo-rigid body is used to facilitate the development of the algorithm. The report concludes with examples of four vehicular impact scenarios to illustrate the applicability of the proposed...
