▼ In the US transportation system, environmental justice (EJ) issues are regulated by a variety of laws to ensure that all have fair treatment with respect to implementation of policies. If State Departments of Transportation adhere to all regulations properly but unconsciously, then an underlying negative impact on a community may still exist as a result of a newly implemented project. Since the implementation of High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes are fairly new, and since there have been numerous concerns from the public about their discriminatory nature, a decision support system is needed to identify potential EJ violations and issues when implementing a new or converted HOT lane. No prior model exists. The goal of this research is to assist state's Department of Transportation (DOT) in the early stages of the development of an HOT lane by developing a Potential Environmental Justice Violation Model that will help state agencies predict potential EJ violations before additional resources are invested into a project. By developing a model, this study identifies and classifies characteristic drivers of potential EJ violations related to communities' economic, social, or health and safety status. The Potential Environmental Justice Violation Model (PEJVM) allows state DOTs employees to define and evaluate the distribution of impacts in the relevant categories. The model provides a method for transforming complex qualitative and quantitative data about a project into a user-friendly format where the results can then be visualized using a spider radar diagram to determine the level of impact of each identified variable. The PEJVM was validated using two previous anonymous HOT case studies and demonstrated using the Interstate 85 Case Study in Atlanta, Georgia. This model offers a uniform method of identifying potential environmental justice violations when implementing a HOT lane. The model will also help inform state agencies of potential violations early in the planning stages of HOT lane projects so that the agency can solve any potential EJ issues before additional resources are invested.

▼ Value pricing strategies are beginning to be considered for future improvements in suburban areas that currently do not experience significant congestion but are expected to become congested in the future. This is a significant departure from implementing these strategies in congested urban areas as is commonly done now. Therefore, traveler reaction in these suburban areas is unknown. To plan and design value pricing projects most effectively, it will be necessary to gain an understanding of suburban travelers' potential reaction to value pricing. Responses to a survey of travelers using the eastern and western segments of Interstate 10 (I-10) outside of San Antonio were used to study differences in response to value pricing by suburban population groups. These surveys collected information on travelers' socioeconomic and trip characteristics as well as their attitudes towards value pricing in the form of potential Express Toll Lanes (ETLS). Stated preference scenarios presented to survey respondents were used to develop mode choice models. These models were used to determine characteristics that may impact the decision to choose to travel on the general purpose lanes (GPLs) or the ETLs. This research suggests that the implementation of value pricing strategies on suburban corridors may pose a challenge from a policy standpoint. The populations using these corridors appear to be more varied in their responses toward value pricing than populations using congested urban corridors. Overall, it was found that the majority of travelers on I-10E and I-10W are not favorable to the implementation of value pricing for the future expansion of these corridors. However, I-10W travelers seem to be more willing to pay for travel time savings. This is likely due to the fact that travelers on I-10W earn higher average incomes, are more likely to use I-10W on a regular basis for commute purposes, and are more often exposed to some traffic congestion. Conversely, travelers on I-10E are more likely to use I-10E less frequently for non-commute trips, travel longer distances, and probably do not have an intuitive sense of the value they would place on travel time savings since they do not regularly experience congestion.

▼ Priced Managed Lanes (MLs) have been increasingly advocated as one of the effective ways to mitigating congestion in recent years. This study explores a new and innovative pricing strategy for MLs called Travel Time Refund (TTR). The proposed TTR provides an additional option to paying drivers that insures their travel time by issuing a refund to the toll cost if they do not reach their destination within specified travel times due to accidents or other unforeseen circumstances. Perceived benefits of TTR include raised public acceptance towards priced MLs, utilization increase of HOV/HOT lanes, overall congestion mitigation, and additional funding for relevant transportation agencies. To gauge travelers’ interests of TTR and to analyse its possible impacts, a stated preference (SP) survey was performed. An exploratory and statistical analysis of the survey responses revealed negative interest towards HOT and TTR option in accordance with common wisdom and previous studies. However, it is found that travelers are less negative about TTR than HOT alone; supporting the idea, that TTR could make HOT facilities more appealing. The impact of travel time reliability and latent variables representing psychological constructs on travelers’ choices in response to this new pricing strategy was also analysed. The results indicate that along with travel time and reliability, the decision maker’s attitudes and the level of comprehension of the concept of HOT and TTR play a significant role in their choice making. While the refund option may be theoretically and analytically feasible, the practical implementation issues cannot be ignored. This study also provides a discussion of the potential implementation considerations that include information provision to connected and non-connected vehicles, distinction between toll-only and refund customers, measurement of actual travel time, refund calculation and processing and safety and human factors issues. As the market availability of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) is prognosticated by 2020, the potential impact of such technologies on effective demand management, especially on MLs is worth investigating. Simulation analysis was performed to evaluate the system performance of a hypothetical road network at varying market penetration of CAVs. The results indicate that Connected Vehicles (CVs) could potentially encourage and enhance the use of MLs.

▼ High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes were recently proposed for I-85 in Atlanta as a way to relieve congestion and provide a reliable commute time for single occupant drivers that are willing to pay a toll. It is important to evaluate the air quality impacts of such a proposal to meet environmental regulations, such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Transportation Conformity Regulations. The goal of this study is to understand how vehicle mass emissions change as a result of implementing HOT lanes on I-85 in Atlanta . This is done by considering a number of factors affect mass vehicle emissions, such as vehicle activity, vehicle speeds, vehicle age distributions, and vehicle class distributions. These factors are incorporated into a base scenario, which models the current condition on I-85 with HOV lanes, and a future scenario, which models the implementation of HOT lanes on this corridor. The base scenario mainly uses data from a data collection effort by Georgia Tech during the summer of 2007 on the I-85 corridor, while the future scenario makes alterations to these data using information from other cities that have already implemented HOT lanes. The MOBILE-Matrix modeling tool, which was recently developed by Georgia Tech [16], was used to run the emissions analysis using the input factors from these data sources. This tool calculated mass emissions for five pollutants: HC, NOx, CO, PM2.5, and PM10. The results show very small increases in mass emissions for NOx, CO, PM2.5, and PM10, and very small decreases in mass emissions for HC. Therefore, the implementation of HOT lanes on I-85 in Atlanta is unlikely to violate the Transportation Conformity Rule. For NEPA purposes, this analysis could be used to make the case that air quality impacts are not significant, and therefore further detailed analyses are not required.

▼ Autonomous vehicles and driver-assistance features have become increasingly more common over the past 5 years. With such an increase in autonomous-vehicle technology, algorithms that identify and respond to the dynamic road environment are essential. Many current navigation programs require that the travel environment be mapped numerous times before an autonomous vehicle can travel with no assistance. However, the vehicle must be able to also navigate in cases where the current path is unfamiliar. This thesis explores the use of computer-vision techniques such as color masking, Hough transformations, and bird’s-eye perspective transformations for the purpose of implementing a pure pursuit navigation algorithm on a previously unknown course. The goal of this navigation program is to navigate the vehicle as closely as possible to the middle of the lane while smoothly following the path trajectory. An additional goal of this project is to implement a histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) detector for the identification of street signs and adjust the speed of the vehicle accordingly. This detector should have a near 100% success rate, and perform the detection more quickly than previously implemented object detectors. The pure path-planning algorithm proved successful in maintaining the vehicle in the lane and proved very adapt at following the slopes of turns. In the three turns on the track, the maximum deviations from the center line were 9.14 cm (3.6 in), 2.3 cm (0.87 in), and 8 cm (3.15 in), which is very good considering the sharpness of the turns. In the straightaways, the vehicle did not perform as well, deviating 11.2 cm (4.4 in) and 15 cm (5.9 in) on the first and second straightaways, respectively. This deviation is mostly due to the vehicle shallowing the steering angle too quickly on the turn exit, leading to the vehicle not being centered in the lane heading down the straightaway. However, the vehicle was able to perform all navigation with low latency, achieving 30 frames per second (fps) compared to the 5 fps of previous lane tracking attempts. Additionally, the vehicle achieved the main objective of remaining within the lane boundaries throughout the entirety of the Autonomous vehicles and driver-assistance features have become increasingly more common over the past 5 years.

▼ This dissertation research presents a methodological investigation of the transportation system performance with coexistence of privately owned human-driven and autonomous vehicles (HVs and AVs) and shared AVs (SAVs) that provide ridesharing services. Built upon the network optimization and game theory concepts, the proposed models holistically account for the complex interplays among three players which contribute to the system performance. On the supply side, car manufacturers will sell (S)AVs at possibly higher prices than that of HVs due to the new technologies used in (S)AVs. In addition, Uber-like transportation network companies (TNCs) will affect the level of ridesharing service directly through the SAV supply attributes (such as fare and fleet size/allocation/relocation) and indirectly via the efficiency of the matching technology used for establishing SAV-traveler contacts which manifests through service waiting times. On the demand side, travelers’ adoption of HVs and (S)AVs depends on their perceptions of the associated costs, which are not only affected by the endogenous strategies of car manufacturers and TNCs, but also by the congestion effects of occupied and unoccupied vehicle flows across road network. The supply of and demand for (S)AVs further interact with transportation infrastructure through changes in road network capacity and parking demand. The former is caused by shorter car following headways of automated/connected driving technologies used in (S)AVs compared to HVs. The latter is attributed to the self-parking capability of AVs in distant/cheaper areas and the reduced number of private cars in the presence of ridesharing. Such supply-demand-infrastructure interactions will be more complicated in mixed traffic of (S)AVs and HVs, which is expected to dominate at least for a few decades until human driving becomes obsolete. Besides the novelties in the presented models, this research also contributes to the field by developing an efficient disjunctive programming based global optimization algorithm to cope with the non-convex nature of the network optimization problems.

Development of the autonomous vehicle has been a trending topic over the last few years. The automotive industry is continuously developing Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) that partially take over the driver’s workload. This has resulted in an increase in vehicle safety and a decrease in fatal crashes [1]. Full vehicle autonomy has not yet been reached, as the control systems involved are not yet capable of handling every situation. One of these critical situations is when a vehicle enters the unstable motion of drifting. A vehicle is prone to drifting on low-friction surfaces, and also during these generally unstable maneuvers, the autonomous system should be able to remain in control. The performance of an autonomous drifting controller should be exemplified by the experience of rally drivers in how to handle a vehicle and keep control of a vehicle while drifting. The objective of this thesis is to design a control system which is capable of handling a vehicle during a drifting motion and to follow a certain desired path. Vehicle dynamics are modeled as a three-state bicycle model to simplify the complex dynamics of the vehicle and the interaction between tyre and road. The definition of longitudinal wheel slip is reformulated to a smooth alternative to accommodate gradient based solving. With the system dynamics defined, the drifting motion is analyzed and equilibrium points are identified, showing differences between low- and high friction surfaces. Initially, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy is applied with the purpose of steering the vehicle to desired drifting equilibria. Hereafter, the control system is extended to provide path following properties and addition of a dynamic velocity controller allows for a larger range of equilibria to be reached. The simulation setup intends to capture the experimental environment in the Network Embedded Robotics DCSC lab (NERDlab) at the Delft Center for Systems and Control (DCSC) department. Simulating a 1:10 scaled model allows to investigate the challenges that arise when implementing the control strategy on a scaled vehicle. These simulations show that autonomous drift control using the designed MPC strategy is possible, even when accounting for possible uncertainties such as delay, noise, and model mismatch.

▼ Allseas engineering BV is an offshore company that uses underwater vehicles for conducting subsea operations. The two primary classification of such underwater vehicles are: Remote operated vehicle (ROV) and Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). As the names suggests, the former requires a human operator to control and the latter is a fully autonomous vehicle. As of now, the company (and most of the offshore industries) customarily use ROVs. In the recent past, Allseas was inclined to use AUVs as a measure of reducing the operational costs and conducted tests runs with an industrial grade AUV. But the test runs were unsuccessful and the plan of using such an AUV was dropped. It was concluded that the major problem was in launch and recovery operations of the AUV, which were conducted from the deck of a ship. To be specific, the disturbances from the ship’s thrusters, ocean currents, and waves, were proved to be impossible to compensate for by the AUV during the launch and recovery operations. Therefore, this thesis aims to investigate on underwater docking capabilities of AUVs, which not only eliminates the launch and recovery issues but improves AUV’s overall operational capabilities. In this thesis, a docking problem is formulated and the solution to the problem covers the following aspects: modeling of AUV, motion control of AUV, and guidance strategies. For the motion control, an appropriate model of the vehicle is necessary. Various models used in the literature were studied which include: 6 degree of freedom (DOF) non-linear model, 3-DOF horizontal plane model, and 3-DOF vertical plane model. As an example, a 6-DOF non-linear model of ARIES AUV from literature was decoupled into the respective 3-DOF models. These models are used for controller design and docking strategies. A linear parameter varying (LPV) frame work based, gain scheduled feedback and feed forward controllers were developed for the control of vehicle heading and depth. The controller design involves the following steps: Firstly, a third order Quasi- LPV control plant for heading and depth were derived from horizontal and vertical plane models. Then, linear controllers (gains) were designed for fixed values of scheduling variables. Based on the dimension of the scheduling variables, a stability preserving interpolation of these gains were performed to obtain the final controller. A PI controller was designed for controlling the longitudinal velocity of the vehicle. The performance of the controllers were checked on 6 DOF and 3 DOF models of the ARIES AUV. Finally, two docking strategies: Three point and N-point, were developed using lookahead based path following and investigated their performance for two scenarios: stationary dock and non-stationary dock. The docking strategies addressed the docking problem in two aspects: geometric path generation and path following. Finally, the controller performance in closed loop, as in, the guidance, tracking controllers, and vehicle dynamics was compared for the two developed strategies. It was shown that… Advisors/Committee Members: Babuska, R. (mentor), Trottemant, E. (mentor).

▼ To further advance road pricing to be a more efficient and pragmatic tool for congestion mitigation, this dissertation proposes a hierarchical congestion pricing framework for urban transportation networks. Within the framework, toll determination is decomposed into two levels: network and facilities. Empirical studies have discovered that travelers have a strong preference for simple system-wide pricing structures. For example, dynamic network pricing models are not only difficult to implement, more importantly, their pricing signals are also too complicated for travelers to understand and consequently change their travel behaviors. On the other hand, time-varying tolls at particular facilities, such as managed lanes, are acceptable and effective. Therefore, tolls at these two levels should follow different strategies due to their distinctive purposes and travelers' different response abilities. At the network level, we propose a robust static or time-of-day pricing policy to avoid complex toll structures while ensuring the network to perform reasonably well against a variety of uncertainties. Sources of uncertainty in transportation networks consist of not only randomness in demand and supply, but also travelers' stochastic and irrational behaviors. This dissertation investigates one of the uncertainties resulting from boundedly rational route-choice behaviors. Users with bounded rationality seek for acceptable paths rather than a necessarily minimum one. Boundedly rational user equilibrium (BRUE) flow distribution is generally non-unique and can be characterized as a non-convex and non-empty path flow set. A more restrictive link-based representation is also presented. A robust pricing scheme is determined by solving a nonlinear mathematical program with complementarity constraints to minimize the system travel time of the worst-case tolled BRUE flow distribution. At some critical facilities, the toll scheme determined at the network level may be further adjusted in response to real-time traffic conditions. This dissertation focuses on developing pricing strategies for managed toll lanes. Adaptive tolls may be adopted in order to provide a superior free-flow travel service to the users of the toll lanes while maximizing the freeway's throughput. Two sensible and practically implementable approaches, one feedback and one self-learning, are proposed. The self-learning approach monitors conditions of the facility through both direct observation and real-time estimation, and learns recursively motorists' willingness to pay and short-term future demand by mining the traffic data from sensors. In determination of the tolls, a detailed modeling of drivers' lane-choice behavior and traffic dynamics is adopted to explicitly consider their impacts on the performance of the facility. In summary, based on practical considerations of pricing, robust time-of-day tolls are proposed for the entire network while adaptive tolls are advocated for special facilities. This composes a hierarchical congestion pricing framework for a… Advisors/Committee Members: Yin, Yafeng (committee chair), Elefteriadou, Ageliki L. (committee member), Washburn, Scott S.

▼ A ground vehicle is a dynamic system containing many non-linear components, ranging from the non-linear engine response to the tyre-road interface. In pursuit of developing driver-assist systems for accident avoidance, as well as fully autonomous vehicles, the application of modern mechatronics systems to vehicles are widely investigated. Extensive work has been done in an attempt to model and control the lateral response of the vehicle system utilising a wide variety of conventional control and intelligent systems theory. The majority of driver models are however intended for low speed applications where the vehicle dynamics are fairly linear. This study proposes the use of adaptive control strategies as robust driver models capable of steering the vehicle without explicit knowledge of vehicle parameters. A Model Predictive Controller (MPC), self-tuning regulator and Linear Quadratic Self-Tuning Regulator (LQSTR) updated through the use of an Auto Regression with eXogenous input (ARX) model that describes the relation between the vehicle steering angle and yaw rate are considered as solutions. The strategies are evaluated by performing a double lane change in simulation using a validated full vehicle model in MSC ADAMS and comparing the maximum stable speed and lateral offset from the required path. It is found that all the adaptive controllers are able to successfully steer the vehicle through the manoeuvre with no prior knowledge of the vehicle parameters. An LQSTR proves to be the best adaptive strategy for driver model applications, delivering a stable response well into the non-linear tyre force regime. This controller is implemented on a fully instrumented Land Rover 110 of the Vehicle Dynamics Group at the University of Pretoria fitted with a semi-active spring-damper suspension that can be switched between two discrete setting representing opposite extremes of the desired response namely: ride mode (soft spring and low damping) and handling mode (stiff spring and high damping). The controller yields a stable response through a severe double lane change (DLC) up to the handling limit of the vehicle, safely completing the DLC at a maximum speed of 90 km/h all suspension configurations. The LQSTR also proves to be robust by following the same path for all suspension configurations through the manoeuvre for vehicle speeds up to 75 km/h. Validation is continued by successfully navigating the Gerotek dynamic handling track, as well as by performing a DLC manoeuvre on an off-road terrain. The study successfully developed and validated a driver model that is robust against variations in vehicle parameters and friction coefficients. Advisors/Committee Members: Els, P.S.

▼ Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are relatively inexpensive mobile sensing platforms capable of reliably and autonomously performing numerous tasks, including mapping, search and rescue, surveillance and tracking, and real-time monitoring. The general problem of interest that we address is that of using small, fixed-wing UAVs to perform vision-based target tracking, which entails that one or more camera-equipped UAVs is responsible for autonomously tracking a moving ground target. In the single-UAV setting, the underactuated UAV must maintain proximity and visibility of an unpredictable ground target while having a limited sensing region. We provide solutions from two different vantage points. The first regards the problem as a two-player zero-sum game and the second as a stochastic optimal control problem. The resulting control policies have been successfully field-tested, thereby verifying the efficacy of both approaches while highlighting the advantages of one approach over the other. When employing two UAVs, one can fuse vision-based measurements to improve the estimate of the target's position. Accordingly, the second part of this dissertation involves determining the optimal control policy for two UAVs to gather the best joint vision-based measurements of a moving ground target, which is first done in a simplified deterministic setting. The results in this setting show that the key optimal control strategy is the coordination of the UAVs' distances to the target and not of the viewing angles as is traditionally assumed, thereby showing the advantage of solving the optimal control problem over using heuristics. To generate a control policy robust to real-world conditions, we formulate the same control objective using higher order stochastic kinematic models. Since grid-based solutions are infeasible for a stochastic optimal control problem of this dimension, we employ a simulation-based dynamic programming technique that relies on regression to form the optimal policy maps, thereby demonstrating an effective solution to a multi-vehicle coordination problem that until recently seemed intractable on account of its dimension. The results show that distance coordination is again the key optimal control strategy and that the policy offers considerable advantages over uncoordinated optimal policies, namely reduced variability in the cost and a reduction in the severity and frequency of high-cost events.

▼ Traffic congestion is costly both in terms of time lost as well as resources squandered. Road infrastructure is also expensive to create and maintain, with current funding mechanisms falling short. While there is strong theoretical support for road pricing solutions they have been sparsely deployed in the United States. We begin with a consideration of the current theory and politics underpinning road pricing. We then turn to empirical examples of two different road pricing mechanisms: one that adapts to traffic conditions in a High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lane and another that imposes a toll varying only by time of day on a bridge. In both cases we will estimate the behavioral response of drivers to toll pricing. In the dynamic pricing context the challenge in estimation lies in the simultaneity of price and demand: the structure of dynamic tolling ensures that prices increase as more drivers enter the HOT lane. Prior research has found that higher prices in HOT lanes increase usage. We find that after controlling for simultaneity HOT drivers instead respond to tolls in a manner consistent with economic theory and that their responses to value of time and value of reliability are very large. The results highlight the importance of both controlling for simultaneity when estimating demand for dynamically priced toll roads and treating HOT lanes with dynamic prices as a differentiated product with bundled attributes. In the time-of-day pricing context we estimate commuters' responses by measuring the shift from the tolled bridge to a parallel free bridge and also how commuters adjust the timing of trips to less expensive periods. We estimate own and cross-price elasticities for the two bridges finding results in line with previous research. We also estimate the time adjustment that commuters make in response to changing toll rates. These estimates allow us to compute the benefits to toll paying commuters from decreased congestion resulting from the imposition of the tolls.

A transition to V2G is hampered by many barriers, such as battery degradation and high investment cost. A dramatic shift towards autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the future transport system drastically changes the conditions for a transition to V2G, potentially resulting in a more flexible V2G system that efficiently deals with bidirectional flows between AVs and the electricity grid and the transport of passengers. Despite the beneficial effects AVs might have on a V2G transition, there is a lack of scientific research into the joint development of these technologies. This research bridges this knowledge gap by exploring the potential effects of autonomous battery electric vehicles on the performance of V2G for two scenarios: privately-owned unshared AVs and fleet-owned shared AVs. While privately-owned unshared AVs are expected to not have significant effects, fleet-owned shared AVs in combination with charging hubs are expected to enhance the performance of V2G because the ability to provide spinning reserve improves, the investment cost of the charging infrastructure decreases, negative impact on the distribution network can be controlled, and range anxiety disappears. However, uncertainties related to the potential revenues of some drivers and the impact of V2G on battery degradation remain an issue and require further research. In addition, the development of fleet-owned shared AVs is expected to include an on-demand business model that maximises the utilisation rate of AVs for mobility services because the value of renting out the vehicle is much higher than the value of V2G. If the final development path would contain this business model, the priority for V2G would be minimised which would create a new, insurmountable barrier that destroys the business case for V2G systems.
