	abstract = "Abstract In this study, the connected and automated vehicles platooning problem is resolved under a differential game framework. Three information topologies are considered here. Firstly, the Predecessor-following topology is utilised where the vehicles control the distance with respect to the merely nearest predecessor via a sensor link-based information flow. Secondly, the Two-predecessor-following topology is exploited where each vehicle controls the distance with respect to the two nearest predecessors. In this topology, the second predecessor is communicated via a Vehicle-to-vehicle link. The individual trajectories of connected and automated vehicles under the Nash equilibrium are derived in closed-form for these two information topologies. Finally, general information topology is examined and the differential game is formulated in this context. In all these options, Pontryagin's principle is employed to investigate the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium and obtain its corresponding trajectories. In the general topology, we suppose numerical computation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Finally, the stability behaviour of the platoon for the Predecessor-following, Two-predecessor-following and general topologies are investigated. All these approaches represent promising and powerful analytical representations of the connected and automated vehicle platoons under the differential games. Simulation experiments have verified the efficiency of the proposed models and their solutions as well as their better results in comparison with the Model Predictive Control.",

	abstract = "This paper proposes an efficient path planning technique for the autonomous collision-free navigation of wheeled mobile robots with simple hardware based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The distance between the robot and obstacles is measured using three ultrasonic sensors that are installed on the left, front, and right of the robot. These distances from the sensors form the inputs to the ANFIS-utility function block that calculates an obstacle avoidance steering angle for the robot. The obstacle avoidance behavior of the robot is modeled under six scenarios of facing an obstacle. The instantaneous position of the robot and the target are available from Global Positioning System (GPS) modules. A simulation mobile robot in V-REP has been integrated into the ANFIS controller coded in MATLAB. The simulation results show that the proposed ANFIS-utility function-based path planning technique surpasses some of the related algorithms in terms of finding near-optimal paths."

To that end, wheeled mobile robots have to function under non-holonomic constraints and uncertainty derived by feedback sensors and/or internal dynamics. Speed control is one of the main and challenging objectives in the endeavor for efficient autonomous collision-free navigation. This paper proposes an intelligent technique for speed control of a wheeled mobile robot using a combination of fuzzy logic and supervised machine learning (SML). The technique is appropriate for flexible leader-follower formation control on straight paths where a follower robot maintains a safely varying distance from a leader robot. A fuzzy controller specifies the ultimate distance of the follower to the leader using the measurements obtained from two ultrasonic sensors. An SML algorithm estimates a proper speed for the follower based on the ultimate distance. Simulations demonstrated that the proposed technique appropriately adjusts the follower robot’s speed to maintain a flexible formation with the leader robot.",

In this paper, in order to maintain the local features of a shoeprint image and place a pattern in a block, a novel automatic method was proposed, referred to as Modified Multi-Block Local Binary Pattern (MMB-LBP). In this method, shoeprint images are divided into blocks according to two different models. The histograms of all blocks of the first and second models are separately measured and stored in the first and second feature matrices, respectively. The performance evaluations of the proposed method were carried out by comparing with state-of-the-art methods. The evaluation criteria are the successful retrieval rates obtained using the best match score at rank one and cumulative match score for the first five matches. The comparison results indicated that the proposed method performs better than other methods, in terms of retrieval of complete and incomplete shoeprints. That is, the proposed method was able to retrieve 97.63% of complete shoeprints, 96.5% of incomplete toe shoeprints, and 91.18% of incomplete heel shoeprints. Moreover, the experiments showed that the proposed method is significantly resistant to the rotation, salt and pepper noise, and Gaussian white noise distortions in comparison with the other methods.",

Global Positioning System (GPS) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are well-known techniques widely used for navigation and control, respectively. This paper proposes a hybrid GPS-ANFIS based method for collision-free navigation of autonomous mobile robots. The GPS-based controller keeps the navigation direction of the robot toward the static or dynamic target. It uses the coordinates received from the two GPS modules on the edges of the longitudinal axis of the robot all together with the coordinates of the target to divert it from the current path making a certain angle towards the target. The performance of the proposed method in navigating a mobile robot in clutter environments and its effectiveness in comparison with the other collision-free navigation methods has been evaluated through simulations. The evaluation criteria are on the basis of the obstacle avoidance behavior and the length of the discovered collision-free path by the robot. The results have shown that our hybrid GPS-ANFIS method navigates the robot toward the goal via a shorter path while avoiding the obstacles."

Driving as a group of vehicles, referred to as a convoy, on automated highways is a highly important and challenging task that autonomous driving systems must deal with. This paper considers the control problem of a vehicle convoy modeled with linear dynamics. The convoy formation requirement is presented in terms of a quadratic performance index to minimize. The convoy formation control is formulated as a receding horizon linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem. The receding horizon control law is innovatively defined via the solution to the algebraic Riccati equation. The solution matrix and therefore the receding horizon control law are obtained in the closed-form. A control architecture consisting of four algorithms is proposed to handle formation size/shape switching. The closed-form control law is at the core of these algorithms. Simulation results are provided to justify the models, solutions, and proposed algorithms.",
