Mengchi Cai is a researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University, focusing on Intelligent Transportation, Autonomous Driving, and Multi-Agent Systems. Their work addresses challenges in connected and automated vehicles, particularly at unsignalized intersections, through conflict-free cooperation methods and formation control. Cai's research includes graph-based modeling, optimality analysis, and multi-vehicle formation control in multi-lane scenarios. They also explore cloud-based control systems, time-varying delay stability, and digital twin technologies for validating vehicle-road-cloud integration. Experimental validation and data-driven predictive control are central to their efforts in mitigating stop-and-go waves in mixed traffic. Their contributions span both theoretical analysis and practical implementation in intelligent transportation systems.
