This work deals with the control design and development of an automated car-following strategy that further increases robustness to vehicle dynamics uncertainties. The control algorithm is applied on a hierarchical architecture where high and low level control layers are designed for gap-control and desired acceleration tracking, respectively. A fractional-order controller is proposed due to its flexible frequency shape, fulfilling more demanding design requirements. The iso-damping loop property is sought, which yields a desired closed-loop stability that results invariant despite changes on the controlled plant gain. In addition, the graphical nature of the proposed design approach demonstrates its portability and applicability to any type of vehicle dynamics without complex reconfiguration. The algorithm benefits are validated in frequency and time domains, as well as through experiments on a real vehicle platform performing adaptive cruise control.

Article Synopsis
- Automated Vehicles (AVs) have the potential to improve transportation significantly, but current datasets used to study their behavior are often inadequate in quality and completeness, which affects analysis and model development.
- This study introduces the Unified longitudinal trajectory dataset for AVs (Ultra-AV), which compiles data from 14 different sources to better analyze AVs' driving behaviors through a meticulous three-step data processing method.
- The processed dataset is validated through various performance evaluations, providing researchers with standardized metrics and guidelines for future AV behavior studies and model development.

Extensive experimental analyses concerned with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) have clearly shown that such systems have failed to deliver the promise of safe and traffic-flow effective car-following. On the contrary, large reaction times and poor string stability performances characterize commercial ACCs. While a huge research line is investigating the introduction of communication among vehicles to overcome the mentioned limitation, market adoption of connectivity-enhanced vehicles is struggling.

Partially autonomous vehicles can help minimize human errors. However, being free from some driving subtasks can result in a low vigilance state, which can affect the driver's attention towards the road. The present study first tested whether drivers of partially autonomous vehicles would benefit from the addition of auditory versions of the messages presented in variable message signs (VMS), particularly, when they find themselves in a monotonous driving situation.

In the context of future traffic systems, where automated vehicles (AVs) coexist with human-driven vehicles (HVs), ensuring road safety is of utmost importance. Existing safety assessment methods, however, are inadequate for the complex scenarios presented by mixed traffic conditions. These methods often fail to distinguish sufficiently between AVs and HVs, leading to inaccuracies in safety evaluations.

Driver models are crucial for the safety assessment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) because of their role as reference models. Specifically, an AV is expected to achieve at least the same level of safety performance as a careful and competent driver model. To make this comparison possible, quantitative modeling of careful and competent driver models is essential.
