Allocation and planning with a collection of tasks and a group of agents is an important problem in multiagent systems. One commonly faced bottleneck is scalability, as in general the multiagent model increases exponentially in size with the number of agents. We consider the combination of random task assignment and multiagent planning under multiple-objective constraints, and show that this problem can be decentralised to individual agent-task models. We present an algorithm of point-oriented Pareto computation, which checks whether a point corresponding to given cost and probability threshol...

In the context of coordination of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs), the platooning operation is a promising application. The formulation of a single stream of CAVs is conducive to traffic efficiency and merging operations extend the benefits for multilane road users. However, the problem of simultaneous merging and platooning lacks comprehensive investigation. A solution is formulated in this paper through a new scheme that considers inter-vehicle safety distance constraints and distributed deployment utilizing local inter-vehicle information exchanges. A distributed consensus-based contro...
