A hybrid microscopic model for multimodal traffic with empirical observations from aerial footage

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Georgios Anagnostopoulos

Microscopic traffic flow models can be distinguished in lane-based or lane-free depending on the degree of lane-discipline. This distinction holds true only if motorcycles are neglected in lane-based traffic. In cities, as opposed to highways, this is an o ...

A new collision warning system for lead vehicles in rear-end collisions

Alcherio Martinoli, Sven Adrian Gowal, Adrian Cabrera

Collision Warning Systems (CWS) are safety sys- tems designed to warn the driver about an imminent collision. A CWS monitors the dynamic state of the traffic in real- time by processing information from various proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors. It ...

An Indoor Flying Platform with Collision Robustness and Self-Recovery

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz

This paper presents a new paradigm in the design of indoor flying robots that replaces collision avoidance with collision robustness. Indoor flying robots must operate within constrained and cluttered environments where even nature’s most sophisticated fly ...
