Traffic flow modeling and driving automation
The topic relies on modeling of road vehicle movements using interacting particle and differential systems. The objectives are to analyze, simulate, calibrate, and optimize road traffic flows and traffic network models or devise safe motion planners for automated and connected vehicles.
