Book Description
The concept evaluation through microsimulation reveals significant mobility improvements compared to contemporary corridor management approach. The results for selected test-bed locations on signalized arterials in New Jersey reveals up to 19.5 % reduction in overall corridor travel time depending on different market penetration and lane configuration scenario. It is also discovered that operational scenarios with a possibility of utilizing reserved lanes for movement of automated vehicles further increases the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. In addition, the proposed control algorithm is feasible under imperfect C/AV market penetrations showing mobility improvements even with low market penetration rates.

Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the five fundamental yet intertwined pillars paving the road towards the future of connected autonomous electric vehicles and smart cities. The connectivity pillar covers all the latest advancements and various technologies on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications/networking and vehicular cloud computing, with special emphasis on their role towards vehicle autonomy and smart cities applications. On the other hand, the autonomy track focuses on the different efforts to improve vehicle spatiotemporal perception of its surroundings using multiple sensors and different perception technologies. Since most of CAVs are expected to run on electric power, studies on their electrification technologies, satisfaction of their charging demands, interactions with the grid, and the reliance of these components on their connectivity and autonomy, is the third pillar that this book covers. On the smart services side, the book highlights the game-changing roles CAV will play in future mobility services and intelligent transportation systems. The book also details the ground-breaking directions exploiting CAVs in broad spectrum of smart cities applications. Example of such revolutionary applications are autonomous mobility on-demand services with integration to public transit, smart homes, and buildings. The fifth and final pillar involves the illustration of security mechanisms, innovative business models, market opportunities, and societal/economic impacts resulting from the soon-to-be-deployed CAVs. This book contains an archival collection of top quality, cutting-edge and multidisciplinary research on connected autonomous electric vehicles and smart cities. The book is an authoritative reference for smart city decision makers, automotive manufacturers, utility operators, smart-mobility service providers, telecom operators, communications engineers, power engineers, vehicle charging providers, university professors, researchers, and students who would like to learn more about the advances in CAEVs connectivity, autonomy, electrification, security, and integration into smart cities and intelligent transportation systems.

Book Description
Autonomous vehicles have made immense progress towards deployment on public roads, yet navigating safely on roads with both human drivers and autonomous vehicles presents a challenge for even the most advanced systems. Algorithms and systems are needed for developing and evaluating socially-compliant planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles. In this thesis, we propose a semi-cooperative autonomy framework that considers the underlying social utility of human agents within the vehicle's trajectory planning and motion control. In addition, we present a new robotic platform for deploying and evaluating semi-cooperative autonomy in a safe, laboratory setting. In this thesis, we combine concepts from social psychology with game-theoretic planning algorithms to develop semi-cooperative autonomous planners. Beginning with a single autonomous vehicle, we present Iterative Best Response with Imagined Shared Control, an algorithm that considers the Social Value Orientation of each human driver while achieving desirable game-theoretic equilibria. The semi-cooperative framework is applied to larger scale systems, a socially-compliant intersection manager for mixed human-autonomy traffic and understanding SVO impact on vehicle traffic flow. In addition, we present a visibility-aware trajectory optimization algorithm for proactive motion planning around blind spots, which incorporates a model of human driver uncertainty into a semi-cooperative trajectory planner. We demonstrate the efficacy of these algorithms in simulations of human and autonomous vehicles and study the effect of human personality on algorithm performance. Second, we introduce the MiniCity, a 1/10th scale city environment consisting of realistic urban scenery, intersections, and multiple fully autonomous 1/10th scale vehicles with state-of-the-art sensors and algorithms. We describe how the MiniCity robotic platform is used in the development of semi-cooperative autonomy, from evaluating algorithm performance to developing new intelligent traffic systems. First, we use the MiniCity to evaluate vehicle autonomy, measuring both the impact of upstream perception on downstream vehicle performance and measuring efficiency of semi-cooperative intersection managers. Second, we use the MiniCity's human-in-the-loop driver interface to collect user preferences for co-designing a shared controller for driving through intersections. Finally, we present a novel end-to-end infrastructure-based failure detection algorithm, FailureNet, which is trained and deployed on autonomous vehicles in the MiniCity. In all these, the MiniCity provides a safe and scalable environment for developing interactive algorithms, bringing us closer to fully deploying socially-compliant autonomy on mixed human-autonomous roads.

Book Description
This open access book explores the collision between the sustainable energy transition and the Internet of Things (IoT). In that regard, this book’s arrival is timely. Not only is the Internet of Things for energy applications, herein called the energy Internet of Things (eIoT), rapidly developing but also the transition towards sustainable energy to abate global climate is very much at the forefront of public discourse. It is within the context of these two dynamic thrusts, digitization and global climate change, that the energy industry sees itself undergoing significant change in how it is operated and managed. This book recognizes that they impose five fundamental energy management change drivers: 1.) the growing demand for electricity, 2.) the emergence of renewable energy resources, 3.) the emergence of electrified transportation, 4.) the deregulation of electric power markets, 5.) and innovations in smart grid technology. Together, they challenge many of the assumptions upon which the electric grid was first built. The goal of this book is to provide a single integrated picture of how eIoT can come to transform our energy infrastructure. This book links the energy management change drivers mentioned above to the need for a technical energy management solution. It, then, describes how eIoT meets many of the criteria required for such a technical solution. In that regard, the book stresses the ability of eIoT to add sensing, decision-making, and actuation capabilities to millions or perhaps even billions of interacting “smart" devices. With such a large scale transformation composed of so many independent actions, the book also organizes the discussion into a single multi-layer energy management control loop structure. Consequently, much attention is given to not just network-enabled physical devices but also communication networks, distributed control & decision making, and finally technical architectures and standards. Having gone into the detail of these many simultaneously developing technologies, the book returns to how these technologies when integrated form new applications for transactive energy. In that regard, it highlights several eIoT-enabled energy management use cases that fundamentally change the relationship between end users, utilities, and grid operators. Consequently, the book discusses some of the emerging applications for utilities, industry, commerce, and residences. The book concludes that these eIoT applications will transform today’s grid into one that is much more responsive, dynamic, adaptive and flexible. It also concludes that this transformation will bring about new challenges and opportunities for the cyber-physical-economic performance of the grid and the business models of its increasingly growing number of participants and stakeholders.

Book Description
Autonomous vehicle development is on its peak these days. The thought of having self-driving cars is close to fruition. A lot of work has been done in the last decade in the field of Autonomous Systems. There are cars that can drive better than humans on highways. They allow for higher speed and safety. But infrastructure does not exist that is friendly to autonomous vehicles such as at intersections. Autonomous vehicles cannot use existing infrastructure to operate efficiently as the current infrastructure has been designed keeping human driven vehicles in mind. New algorithms need to be developed which will allow autonomous vehicles to use existing infrastructure without entirely changing the infrastructure. In this way both human driven and autonomous vehicles can use the infrastructure and human driven vehicles can also take advantage of developments done in the autonomous vehicle field. This can be achieved using smarter intersections which can communicate with the vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and can use the data from the vehicles to optimize signal phase and timing. Additionally such an intersection can also control the flow of traffic by controlling the speed of vehicles.
