I am looking for pointers towards merging algorithms of mobile robots.
To put it more clearly, I will appreciate any information regarding
research works on the planning and controls of wheeled mobile robots
while they want to enter a highway or exit from a stream of autonomous
vehicle or try to change lanes.

Wheeled mobile robots are nonholonomic dynamic systems and
consequently quite difficult to control. I have done some work on the
path following of such systems. But merging or exiting or changing
lanes will involve planning and controls in the presence of
dynamically varying obstacles.

Please send me mail or post on the news group if you know any information
about it or are willing to discuss  the research issues.

Thanks a lot.

P.S. I assume that similar works may have been done in the area of
     vehicle dynamics. I will appreciate if you can give some reference.
