Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure Enablers: Dedicated LanesEPR20250074/24/2025
Dedicated lanes provide a simpler operating environment for ADS-equipped vehicles than those shared with other roadway users including human drivers, pedestrians, and bicycles. This final report in the Automation and Infrastructure series discusses how and when various types of lanes whether general purpose, managed, or specialty lanes might be temporarily or permanently reserved for ADS-equipped vehicles. Though simulations and economic analysis suggest that widespread use of dedicated lanes will not be warranted until market penetration is much higher, some US states and cities are developing such dedicated lanes now for limited use cases and other countries are planning more extensive deployment of dedicated lanes. Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure: Dedicated Lanes includes a review of practices across the US as well as case studies from the EU and UK, the Near East, Japan, Singapore, and Canada.

Development of a Variable Interface Finite Volume Method for Simulating One- and Three- Dimensional Unsteady Gas Flow and Performances of Underwater Marine Diesel Engines03-19-03-00125/6/2026
Diesel engines used for the main power supplier of submarine normally run in high back pressure and low intake pressure, causing unstable performances. Furthermore, when a submarine runs under the sea the exhaust pipe of the diesel engine is under the seawater. Once the lowest pressure in the exhaust pipe is not sufficient to push all the water out, the water will flow into the exhaust pipe and damage the diesel engine. Modeling can provide a useful guide for designing diesel engines, intake and exhaust pipes, and turbocharging systems to avoid water flowing into diesel engine. However, existing simulation methods cannot well simulate the exhaust system of an underwater diesel engine, in which the interface between the liquid water and the exhaust gas is variable. To overcome the drawbacks of existing simulation methods in handling the variable interface between the two phases, a variable interface finite volume method (FVM) is proposed, and a corresponding model is developed in this

Robust Curvature Preview Drift Control Using STA-ISMC under Parameter Uncertainty10-10-03-00215/6/2026
Autonomous vehicles exhibit extremely strong nonlinearity during drift. However, existing autonomous drift algorithms often neglect previewed path curvature and offer only limited consideration of road surface uncertainty because of the influence of vehicle nonlinear dynamics, which can affect tracking accuracy and robustness of drift control. To solve these problems, this study proposes a robust optimal drift control framework based on curvature preview. First, a preview vehicle kinematic model is constructed, and a preview model predictive control path-tracking controller that considers the forthcoming curvature is designed. Through the analysis of equilibrium points with additional yaw moment, a robust optimal drift controller is developed, which employs a three-degrees-of-freedom vehicle model with an additional yaw moment. This controller adopts integral sliding mode control with a super-twisting algorithm (STA) and exhibits good stability, which is verified through Lyapunov

Optimal Heat Transfer and Coolant Flow Correlations in a Cylindrical Cell Format, Production-Based Battery Pack Model under Constant Discharge, Winter–Summer Driving14-15-02-00115/6/2026
A full lithium-ion battery (LIB) pack has hundreds to thousands of cells, coolant flow lines and channels, and channel bends to control cell temperature within its operating window and minimize cell internal resistance, aging, and fire risk. A 75 kWh LIB pack has four modules, and each has 23–25 bricks. Two challenges in battery state predictions for hot and subzero temperatures are battery temperature (Tbatt ) and coolant flow within the whole pack. In this work, a 1D 75 kWh full-pack model with its thermal management system is developed using a holistic reverse-engineering method, which can predict Tbatt at any bricks/modules and inlet/outlet coolant flow characteristics. A Tesla Model Y equipped with dual e-motors is tested on an in-house state-of-the-art chassis dynamometer. The test data at V = 60–80 km/h, 100–150 A constant discharge, and Tbatt = −10°C to 40°C are used to develop the model.
