This paper address a very popular problem in suppression of unknown frequency periodic disturbances. For the first time the authors show the effect of noise and how overparametrization can resolve the issue of rejecting disturbances without amplifying noise. The algorithm was independently tested on an actual experimental facility in France and demonstrated to outperformed many others if not all proposed in literature
Intelligent Transportation Systems
6. P. A. Ioannou and C. C. Chien, "Intelligent Cruise Control," IEEE Trans. on Vehicular Technology, Vol. 42, No. 4, Nov. 1993, pp. 657-672.
This is the first paper that showed analytically that stable, smooth automatic vehicle following can be achieved without vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication in contrast to the common belief of the research community at the time. This paper opened the way to design and implement adaptive cruise control systems which rely only the on board forward looking sensor such as radar or Lidar without the complication of V2V communications which is still a research topic.

7. Chen, Pengfei, Petros Ioannou, and Maged Dessouky. "Mixed Freight Dynamic Routing Using a Co-Simulation Optimization Approach." IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems (2021). https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9568773.
This is a new approach which replaces the common practice of using simple mathematical models for control and optimization with simulation models which capture the complexity of the system more accurately. This is particularly important in transportation where no mathematical model can accurately describe the dynamics and interactions of vehicles in traffic. The approach is used to develop the foundations of a centralized coordinated freight routing system
8. H. Jula, A. Chassiakos, and P. Ioannou, “Port dynamic empty container reuse,” Transportation Research – Part E, Vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 43-60, Jan. 2006
This paper proposes the reuse and exchange of empty containers by neighboring users instead of traveling to a central area such as terminals to pick up or deliver an empty container. IT demonstrated for the Los Angeles/Long Beach area that 40% of the empty container trips can be eliminated, producing considerable savings to users and benefiting the environment. Today a number of shipping and tracking companies adopted the approach. Citations 189
9. A. Abadi, R. Rajabioun, P.Ioannou, "Traffic Flow Prediction for Transportation Networks with Limited Traffic Data," IEEE Transactions on ITS, vo. 16, no. 2, April 2015, pp. 653-663. Citations 303
One of the drawbacks in managing and controlling traffic is the lack of traffic measurements and most of the roadway links are not instrumented. The paper shows how limited traffic data can be used to predict traffic properties with sufficient accuracy to be used for routing and estimating travel times.
10. A.-A. Papadopoulos, I. Kordonis, M.M. Dessouky, and P.A. Ioannou, “Personalized Pareto-improving pricing-and-routing schemes for near-optimum freight routing: An alternative approach to congestion pricing”, Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, vol. 125, p. 103004, 2021.
The paper addresses an innovating approach of centrally coordinated freight routing system whose goal is to optimize the system cost rather than user (truck) cost. Since system optimality does not imply user optimality the coordinator uses a pricing scheme to guarantee that the user cost will always be below its own if acted individually hence the benefit of participation in the central system. The approach attracted the interested of the local freight industry stakeholders and local government as it sets the fundamentals of developing such a system.
