To handle the potential interaction between the ego vehicle and pedestrian that possibly exists but is occluded by front vehicle, a stochastic model predictive control (SMPC)-based motion planning algorithm is proposed in this study. Firstly, a naturalistic driving dataset of vehicle-pedestrian interaction is established, based on which it is found that in the case of pedestrians passing or not, there are significant differences in front vehicle driving behavior. Then, a probability estimation approach for the presence of pedestrians in the occluded area is designed, which can achieve 91.9% accuracy in the naturalistic driving dataset. A phantom pedestrian model is established to quantify the uncertainty in the occluded area, which is further used to construct the chance constraint of the SMPC planning problem. Finally, a naturalistic driving data based simulation and a pedestrian-driver-in-the-loop experiment are carried out to validate the proposed algorithm. Both simulation and experiments show that our algorithm can effectively utilize the perceived information to speculate pedestrian presence beyond sensing range, thereby enabling proactive decisions to achieve safety, comfort and traffic efficiency in vehicle-pedestrian interactions. The proposed framework may find applications in interaction planning problems with uncertainty challenges.","PeriodicalId":13416,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"25 12","pages":"19820-19830"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we propose a blockchain-based automated market maker (AMM) that utilizes constant function products to establish an effective self-regulating pricing system for EV energy market prices. Our unique State of Charge estimation system leverages blockchain-based oracles to efficiently handle requests and monitor EV-oriented energy markets. This enables precise monitoring of battery states and achieves improved SoC values through the interior point method.

However, communication links may be obstructed by buildings, leading to poor data transfer performance and significant energy consumption. Deploying Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) as part of the UAV-assisted communication system proves to be an effective means to avoid building obstructions and enhance wireless information quality. However, the complexity of communication relationships in multi-UAV systems with RIS-aided communication poses a significant challenge in energy reduction. Therefore, this study investigates a new RIS-aided multi-UAV communication framework for edge computing systems. The system aims to meet the quality-of-service (QoS) for UEs while minimizing the total energy consumption. To optimize the total energy consumption of RIS-aided multi-UAV communication, the impact of communication between multiple UAVs and differences between UE clusters on that system’s performance is also considered. We introduce a Stackelberg game to deal with the communication relationship between multiple UAVs and design a K-means-based clustering algorithm to segment UEs periodically. A model-free deep reinforcement learning algorithm grounded in maximum entropy is proposed to jointly optimize UAV trajectory design, phase shift control, and power allocation to reduce energy consumption further. Experimental results indicate that the system proposed performs favorably concerning both energy consumption and throughput.","PeriodicalId":13416,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"25 12","pages":"21142-21156"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142753855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To estimate freight tonnage statewide and potentially nationwide with limited truck weigh-in-motion stations, we have proposed a multi-objective location-allocation model that associated TTMSs with WIM stations based on similar attributes. Additionally, we have developed a fuzzy k-prototype clustering-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm - simulated annealing algorithm (FKC-NSGASA) to solve the multi-objective location-allocation problem, enabling accurate estimation of truck volumes. To address the over-counting problem, we introduced a truck volume elimination method. Finally, we have aggregated annual truck tonnage using the truck volume data and the average tonnage of WIM stations. The proposed methodologies are validated using WIM data from 2012 and 2017 in Florida. The results demonstrate that our approach achieves higher estimation accuracy, showcasing its potential for accurately estimating statewide freight tonnage. Furthermore, the developed estimation framework and algorithm offer an effective and computationally efficient method for statewide freight traffic evaluation.","PeriodicalId":13416,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems","volume":"25 12","pages":"19581-19591"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
