Dr. Xiao-Yun Lu is currently a Research Engineer at California PATH. He has over 30 years experiences in systems modeling, measurement, estimation, simulation, optimization, control, and real-time implementation; vehicle and highway automation – automated vehicle (passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles) dynamics modeling, control design and implementation; energy consumption of automated vehicles and traffic systems for eco-driving; traffic monitoring, sensor detection and fusion; traffic system modeling, estimation, control and optimization (Coordinated Ramp Metering and Variable Speed Limit/Advisory); goods movement; airport ground access planning; vehicle dynamics and control; active vehicle and intersection safety. He is a Principal Investigator/Researcher of multiple PATH projects.
- Control design, simulation, implementation and field test of 3-truck platooning for mobility and energy efficiency improvement using DSRC V2V;
- Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) design and implementation on heavy-duty trucks and passenger cars for freeway driving with public traffic
- Freeway corridor traffic detection, modeling, simulation, optimal control algorithm development and field implementation with combined Variable Speed Limit/Advisory (VSL/VSA) and Coordinated Ramp Metering (CRM);
- Coordination of freeway corridor ramp metering and arterial corridor intersection traffic signal control;
