In a recent study led by Dr. Lili Du, a professor in the University of Florida’s Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering at the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, along with her research team, developed two cutting-edge control algorithms, which resulted in an intelligent control approach system. This system has shown excellent potential in synchronizing the movements of two self-driving vehicles to form a short platoon. It also can sequentially increase the platoon size as more CAVs join in and as traffic conditions permit. As self-driving vehicles, also known as connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), become increasingly common, seamlessly coordinating their movements is vital for safe and efficient driving on roads and highways. Among coordinated movements such as car-following and lane changes, vehicle platooning, where a group of vehicles travels closely together, shows promise for improving driving safety and efficiency, all while reducing energy consumption.

Since high school, Matthew Mapa has been captivated by the power of data and its potential to help society. That interest led him to the University of Florida, where he is now a third-year computer science engineering student, minoring in statistics and focusing on artificial intelligence (AI). Mapa is an AI Scholar. He received the award on March 20, 2024, and is working with Dr. Xilei Zhao, an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering at the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. He is working with Dr. Zhao in her Smart, Equitable, Resilient Mobility Systems (SERMOS) Lab as part of UF’s AI Scholars program. [Read more]
