Summary
Modelling mixed traffic of traditional, connected, and automated vehicles. This project plans to address the challenge of efficiently operating mixed traffic flow of traditional, connected and automated vehicles. The rapid advancement of technologies is currently turning connected and automated vehicles from science fiction into science fact. However, there are no existing traffic flow models capable of reproducing features of mixed traffic flow consisting of traditional, connected and automated ....Modelling mixed traffic of traditional, connected, and automated vehicles. This project plans to address the challenge of efficiently operating mixed traffic flow of traditional, connected and automated vehicles. The rapid advancement of technologies is currently turning connected and automated vehicles from science fiction into science fact. However, there are no existing traffic flow models capable of reproducing features of mixed traffic flow consisting of traditional, connected and automated vehicles. This project aims to address this knowledge deficit and develop an analytical tool able to accurately model mixed traffic flow. This new knowledge and model are prerequisites to effective operation and control of traffic flow of traditional, connected and automated vehicles.Read moreRead less
