Boli Chen: Optimal Control Technologies for Smart and Sustainable Mobility

#STEM

Abstract: Autonomous driving technology pledges safety, convenience, and energy efficiency. Vehicle connectivity has also been maturing in the past decades to further improve safety performance, and enable vehicle cooperation. Connected and automated vehicles (CAV have the potential to disrupt mobility, extending what is possible with driving automation and connectivity alone. Applications include eco-mobility control and planning, routing with micro-scale traffic information, and coordinated platooning using traffic signal information. This talk will address some of these aspects from control and planning perspectives, starting from single CAV to cooperative CAV control scenarios, also illustrating how the different scales can efficiently coexist in an advanced vehicular traffic control system. This will be done by paying particular attention to electric mobility, which is destined to become the dominant mobility paradigm in the next decades.
