Literature shows that these challenges can be tackled using cooperative platoons, which is a technique in which vehicles use communication to drive closely behind each other in a string. An important topic of research regarding cooperative platoons is merging vehicles into a platoon at highway on-ramps. In previous work, the authors proposed a control strategy for the merging of a single cooperative automated vehicle into a platoon of vehicles at highway on-ramps. In this paper, the performance of this controller is demonstrated using experiments with two full-scale vehicles. During these experiments a two-vehicle platoon is formed in a limited distance. Several scenarios with different trajectories of the preceding vehicle are investigated. The preceding vehicle can be accelerating or decelerating simulating disturbances encountered in a larger platoon. In all experiments, the maneuver is successfully executed. The results of these experiments show the large potential of the proposed merging controller.","PeriodicalId":100631,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"6 ","pages":"131-143"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10891586","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143535413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To make this transport more efficient, vessel design must adapt to changing missions, regulations and the occurrence of malfunctions. This paper presents the design of an intelligent decision-support framework to assist marine engineers and vessel operators in updating the system and control architecture of marine vessels before and during a mission. The connection between the system architecture and control design perspectives is enabled using a semantics-based technique. To this end, the multi-level vessel control system is described by a semantic database, a knowledge graph used to connect the components automatically, and quantitative service criteria. Considering the system architecture, the optimal modification is deduced using modularity and complexity criteria, originating from the field of network theory. On the control side, an intelligent automation supervisor is designed to make offline and online decisions regarding the energy deficit to execute a new mission and the active automation configuration during operation. For offline decisions, system architecture modifications are requested by the vessel designers to cover the energy deficit. During operation, switching between hardware and virtual sensors as well as switching between energy management controllers is implemented to handle the effects of sensor faults. The framework is successfully applied to a case study of a tugboat used to adapt to missions with different power requirements, while simulation results are used to indicate its application in supporting the decisions of vessel designers and human vessel operators.","PeriodicalId":100631,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"6 ","pages":"184-203"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10876184","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technology enables the collecting of data in real-time, which allows for effective identification of incidents, enforcement of laws, and decision-making in urban planning. Deep learning techniques used in vehicle re-identification extract distinct characteristics to identify and match a vehicle across different camera perspectives. This bridges the non-overlapping field of camera views and forms a relationship between the detected vehicles. Tracking enhances this process by assigning a distinct identifier to the recognized vehicle, allowing for the creation of a continuous trajectory across the network for further analysis. Vehicle re-identification and tracking have made substantial progress in recent years as a result of the accelerated development of deep learning. Consequently, it is imperative to conduct a thorough examination of these chores. To provide a detailed picture of the research towards vehicle re-identification and tracking, this study provides the recent advancements of various datasets, and frameworks and strategies undertaken to perform these tasks. Specifically, the paper provides a comprehensive review of the different modes of re-identification of vehicles and further analysis.

Furthermore, the proposed approach includes for the first time multi-class on/off ramps within the modeling framework, enhancing the realism of the predictive model. We systematically evaluate the performance of the hybrid model across varying dataset sizes to determine optimal data requirements for accurate traffic predictions.

Metamorphic testing (MT) assesses the robustness by automatically generating test cases based on abstract system specifications known as metamorphic relations (MRs). However, a key challenge is ensuring a traceable safety argumentation for MRs that is in line with industry standards. To ensure this traceability, we derive seven traceable metamorphic transformations from defects identified through interviews with industry experts. Another challenge is prioritizing failures by safety criticality, as not all failing test cases, as evaluated by current intersection over union (IoU)-based metamorphic oracles, pose the same safety risk. We address this by introducing novel egocentric test oracles based on traffic participants’ bounding boxes shifted into or out of the ego vehicle’s expected lane. Testing five LiDAR object detection systems working on two datasets by executing half a million metamorphic test cases (MTCs) shows that the number of failures decreases from 48k using IoU metrics to 342 safety-critical failures with our novel test oracle “shift out of ego lane.” This reduction enables testers to stay within the test analysis budget and, hence, manually analyze each failed MTC by prioritizing safety-critical test failures.","PeriodicalId":100631,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"6 ","pages":"95-108"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10849578","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143361044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adverse weather conditions (AWCs) can significantly impair sensor data quality, diminishing the ADSs’ ability to interpret the surrounding environment. It is, therefore, essential for ADSs to effectively perceive and adapt to AWCs, ensuring enhanced performance and safety. This paper introduces a novel evaluation methodology for classifying AWC images using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, with the goal of assessing their effectiveness for use in ADSs. The methodology provides a structured process for evaluating CNN models, taking into account key factors such as architectural designs, model sizes, diverse datasets, AWC scenarios, and real-time performance. A bespoke design framework is developed to guide the experimental modelling work, incorporating a range of representative CNN-based classification approaches and a variety of AWCs datasets and weather scenarios. This is followed by a comprehensive comparative performance analysis for both single-label and multi-label classification of AWCs images, which is grounded in an extensive experimental modelling effort and serves the purpose of validating the proposed novel evaluation methodology. The analysis systematically evaluates the performance of the targeted CNN approaches under consistent conditions, utilizing the same datasets and weather scenarios to provide a thorough and reliable comparison. Additionally, it includes performance testing on a small-scale embedded computing platform to examine real-time applicability. The findings and insights from this study aim to help researchers identify the most suitable CNN-based weather image classification approaches for their ADS application, ensuring alignment with their performance and operational requirements.","PeriodicalId":100631,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"6 ","pages":"204-229"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10848144","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a filter through which AAVs form a multi-agent Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) network to exchange their estimated positions, and eventually achieve a group consensus over the true position of each vehicle. The localization error correction takes place in the filter with reference to the AAV’s relative range from neighbouring vehicles, that is measured by onboard ranging devices. It is shown that in ideal situations where rangefinder errors can be neglected, cooperative localization yields perfect localization, if the network is sufficiently large and sufficiently connected. It is also shown that the accuracy of cooperative localization is superior to the existing least-mean-square-error based techniques, where a centralized controller augments the positioning accuracy of the flock. Cooperative localization is also favourable due to the fact that the process is computationally affordable and fully distributed. Theoretical derivations and results have been validated through case studies and Monte Carlo simulations, and suggest cooperative localization as a complementary navigation technique to odometery, and other advanced solutions that are available in the literature.","PeriodicalId":100631,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"6 ","pages":"49-66"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10845814","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143184134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
