Safe Merging in Mixed Traffic with Confidence
<|reference_start|>Safe Merging in Mixed Traffic with Confidence: In this letter, we present an approach for learning human driving behavior, without relying on specific model structures or prior distributions, in a mixed-traffic environment where connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) coexist with human-driven vehicles (HDVs). We employ conformal prediction to obtain theoretical safety guarantees and use real-world traffic data to validate our approach. Then, we design a controller that ensures effective merging of CAVs with HDVs with safety guarantees. We provide numerical simulations to illustrate the efficacy of the control approach.<|reference_end|>
