PLATOONING COOPERATIVE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FOR DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE AND ENERGY SAVING: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF LINEAR QUADRATIC AND REINFORCEMENT LEARNING-BASED CONTROLLERS

In recent decades, the automotive industry has moved towards the development of advanced driver assistance systems to enhance the comfort, safety, and energy saving of road vehicles.The increasing connection and communication between vehicles (V2V) and infrastructure (V2I) enables further opportunities for their optimisation and allows for addition

Atmospheric aerosol vertical distributions were measured above gemplers coupon Svalbard, Norway, in April 2011 during the Cooperative Investigation of Climate-Cryosphere Interactions campaign (CICCI).Measurements were made of the particle number concentration and the aerosol light absorption coefficient at three wavelengths.A filter sample was coll

Alien insect species may present a multifaceted threat to ecosystems into which they are introduced.In addition to the direct damage they may cause, they may also bring novel diseases and parasites and/or have the capacity to vector microorganisms that are already established in the ecosystem and are causing harm.Damage caused by ectoparasitic larv

Abstract Workplaces with good daylighting offer visual comfort to users, give them a series of physiological and psychological benefits and allow good performance of visual activities, besides saving energy.However, this solution is not always adopted: lighting type preferences involve many variables besides the availability of daylight.This paper

To date there have been great advances in the legged robotics community.However, these platforms are extremely costly to develop and require complex controllers to perform agile motion, limiting their research to well funded institutions, or purely simulation based studies.This research focuses on an extremely low cost robotic monopod platform that
