Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications are important for intelligent transportation system (ITS) development for driving safety, traffic efficiency, and the development of autonomous vehicles. V2V communication channels, environments, mobility patterns, and mobility speed significantly affect the accuracy of autonomous vehicle control. In this paper, we propose a versatile system-level framework that can be used for investigation, experimentation, and verification to expedite the development of autonomous vehicles. Once vehicle functionality, communication channels, and driving scenarios were modelled, experiments with different mobility speeds and communication channels were set up to measure the communication quality and the effects on the vehicle's following control. In our experiment, the leader vehicle was set to travel through a high-building environment with a constant speed of 36 km/h and suddenly changed lanes in front of the follower vehicle. The speed of the follower vehicle ranged from 40 km/h to 80 km/h. The experimental results show that the quality of single-input and single-output (SISO) communication is less efficient than multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) communication. The quality of SISO communication between vehicles with a speed difference of 4 km/h (leader 36 km/h and follower 40 km/h) had a link quality worse than 0.85, which caused unstable control in the follower vehicle speed. However, it was also found that if the speed of the follower vehicle increased to 80 km/h, the link quality of SISO communication was better, close to 0.95, due to the decreased distance between the vehicles, resulting in better control. Moreover, it was found that the impact of SISO communication can be overcome by using the MIMO communication technique and selecting the best input signal at each time. MIMO communication has less signal loss, allowing the follower vehicle to make correct decisions throughout the movement.

This paper focuses on solving the time-varying formation tracking (TVFT) problem for surface-underwater hybrid networked marine systems (HNMSs) under denial of service (DoS) attacks and physical attacks. The system comprises multiple autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). To address this challenge, a prescribed-time hierarchical control (PTHC) framework is proposed.

In this study, an artificial traffic system, which is generated on a computer by utilizing the computational technique, has been developed by establishing brilliant lane-changing criteria for the Cellular Automata (CA) traffic model to figure out adequate strategies for cooperative driving that can be implemented in actual traffic systems for optimum use of existing road facilities. We investigate the flow efficiency and social dilemma, which embody the tension between the demanded road facility and the existing road facility, that emerged due to the defector drivers in a traffic flow system, who are highly aggressive in driving and impose threatening/pushing effects on their preceding while they are tailgating. The evolutionary game theory, which is one of the most efficient tools in the decision-making process, has been utilized to identify the Social Efficiency Deficit (SED), which means the dilemma strength of those games.

To address the problem of cooperative Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) formation control under multiple sensor faults (e.g., abnormal positioning and speed data), this paper proposes a predictive fault-tolerant control approach based on the Distributed Extended Kalman Filter (DEKF) and Model Predictive Control (MPC), termed DEKF-MPC.

This article aims to address the fixed-time optimal leader-following consensus issue for unknown multiagent systems (MASs) under Denial of Service (DoS) and false data injection (FDI) attacks. A novel fixed-time stability theorem under DoS attacks is presented to simplify the stability conditions and decrease the computational complexity of the settling time. Simultaneously, the deep neural networks (DNNs) structure with the projection operator are adopted in real-time to approximate the unknown system dynamics.

Aiming at the problem that the trajectory tracking and formation flight of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are vulnerable to complex and variable disturbances, this paper proposes a trajectory tracking controller is designed for both position and attitude subsystems of quadrotor UAV is designed in the formation, and a super twisting sliding mode (STSM) controller is designed for the formation control. First, by taking advantage of the finite-time convergence characteristic of the non-singular terminal sliding mode surface and the reducing chattering characteristic of the STSM, a non-singular terminal super twisting sliding mode (NSTSTSM) controller is designed for the position and attitude control of the leader and follower in the formation, and the controller can effectively reject the buffeting of the system and improve the response speed. Meanwhile, in order to enhance the disturbance rejection performance of the UAV, finite-time disturbance observers are separately designed for the position and attitude loops of the quadrotor UAV to compensate the controller, and it can further enhance the robustness of the system.
