Traffic Flow Control in Automated Highway Systems

This report focuses on two control problems in the hierarchical architecture of an automated highway system (AHS). The first is the design of safe controllers for the regulation layer maneuvers. The second involves the design of stabilizing flow controllers for the link layer. The conditions under which safe platooning can be achieved are studied.
