“…As to the pure issue of connectivity and mobility, it is possible to identify three different development trajectories which are affecting the main players in the industry at the world level, namely, innovations linked to the use of new communication technologies and new ways of owning the collective transport system as summarized under the acronym Mobility as a Service (MaaS) [74], prospects for autonomous driving [72] destined to bring about profound changes in the functionality of road networks, and the techniques of automatic vehicle queuing or platooning [75].…”

This paper examines the current challenges faced by logistics with a focus on the agri-food sector. After outlining the context, a review of the literature on the relationship between logistics and strategic management in gaining and increasing competitiveness in the agri-food sector is conducted. In particular, the flow of the paper is as follows: after examining the aforementioned managerial problem and its broader repercussions, the paper proceeds to address two main research questions. First, how and by which tools can digitization contribute to improving supply chain management and sustainability in logistics? Second, what are the main managerial and strategic implications and consequences of this for the agri-food sector in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, cost reduction, and supply chain optimization? Finally, the paper presents Italy as a case study, chosen both for its peculiar internal differences in logistical infrastructures and entrepreneurial management between Northern and Southern regions (which could be at least partially overcome with the use of new technologies and frameworks) and for the importance of the agri-food sector for the domestic economy (accounting about 25% of the country’s GDP), on which digitization should have positive effects in terms of value creation and sustainability.

“…For example, some proposed methods assumed that the RVs strictly follow the path and will not perform undesired or illegal maneuvers (Qian, Gregoire, Moutarde, & De La Fortelle, 2014,C. Chen et al, 2021). However, in case of a mixed traffic environment, the critical concern is that whether the RVs with human control are able to respond to the crossing instructions completely and cope with the AV driving behavior (Qian, Gregoire, Moutarde, & De La Fortelle, 2014, Sukennik et al, 2018).…”

The recent advancement in industrial technology has offered new opportunities to overcome different problems of stochastic driving behavior of humans through effective implementation of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Optimum utilization of driving behavior and advanced capabilities of the AVs has enabled researchers to propose autonomous cooperative-based methods for signalized intersection control under an AV traffic environment. In the future, AVs will share road networks with regular vehicles (RVs), representing a dynamic mixed traffic environment of two groups of vehicles with different characteristics. Without compromising the safety and level of service, traffic operation and control of such a complex environment is a challenging task. The current study includes a comprehensive review focused on the signalized intersection control methods under a mixed traffic environment. The different proposed methods in the literature are based on certain assumptions, requirements, and constraints mainly associated with traffic composition, connectivity, road infrastructures, intersection, and functional network design. Therefore, these methods should be evaluated with appropriate consideration of the underlying assumptions and limitations. This study concludes that the application of adaptive traffic signal control can effectively optimize traffic signal plans for variations of AV traffic environments. However, artificial intelligence approaches primarily focusing on reinforcement learning should be considered to better utilization of the improved AV characteristics.

“…For more complicated nonlinear vehicular dynamics, most existing studies applied linearization to yield linear vehicular dynamic models. To linearize the vehicular dynamics, we can apply the first-order Taylor expansion around the equilibrium state, see for example, Chen et al 46 An alternative is to eliminate the velocity-dependent drag and other nonlinear terms by using feedback linearization. [47][48][49] Among various linearized vehicular dynamic models, the most widely used one is the second-order vehicular dynamic model (40), that is, a double integrator.…”

This article investigates the escort control problem for heterogeneous discrete‐time multi‐agent systems with multiple leaders. We develop a distributed output feedback control law such that the followers are secured within the convex hull spanned by the output of the leaders. First, the followers estimate the target convex hull and the system matrices of the leaders via a distributed observer. We then devise a distributed dynamic output feedback control protocol based on this observer to achieve the escort control by using only neighboring relative output information of leaders. The security of the followers is guaranteed by seeing that the output tracking errors converge to zero exponentially. In the numerical simulations, we discuss the potential deployment of the proposed method to a brand‐new escort control of mixed traffic consist of connected automated vehicles and partially automated vehicles. This vehicular escort control formulation can be regarded as a generalization of the conventional vehicular platoon control problem into both longitudinal and lateral dimensions. The numerical results validate the effectiveness and the computational feasibility of the proposed control protocols.
