Abstract
Emerging mobility systems, e.g., connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), shared mobility, truck platoons, electric mobility, provide the most intriguing opportunity for enabling users to better monitor transportation network conditions and make better operating decisions to improve safety and transportation efficiency. Emerging mobility systems are typical cyber-physical systems where the cyber component (e.g., data and shared information through vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication) can aim at optimally controlling the physical entities (e.g., CAVs, non-CAVs). It seems clear that the availability of vehicle-to-vehicle communication has the potential to reduce congestion by enabling vehicles to more rapidly account for changes in their mutual environment. Likewise, vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, e.g., communication with traffic control centers, nearby buildings, and traffic lights, should allow for individual vehicle control systems to account for unpredictable changes in local infrastructure but also to receive guidance from the infrastructure. As transportation systems become increasingly complex with an expanded feature space, new modeling and control approaches are needed to understand the impact on system behavior that would result in improving safety, efficiency and sustainability. The workshop intends to stimulate a discussion on modeling and control for emerging mobility systems that could be eventually realized in smart cities.
