Freeway Lane Management Approach In Mixed Traffic Environment with Connected Autonomous Vehicles

Connected autonomous vehicles (CAV) technologies are about to be in the market in the near future. This requires transportation facilities ready to operate in a mixed traffic environment where a portion of vehicles are CAVs and the remaining are manual vehicles. Since CAVs are able to run with less spacing and headway compared with manual vehicles or mixed traffic, allocating a number of freewa...

Analysis of traffic flow with mixed manual and semiautomated vehicles

The introduction of semiautomated vehicles designed to operate with manually driven vehicles is a realistic near-term objective. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects on traffic-flow characteristics and environment when semiautomated vehicles with automatic vehicle following capability (in the same lane) operate together with manually driven vehicles. We have shown that semiautoma...

A Human-centered Test-bed for Mixed Traffic of Autonomous and Non-autonomous Vehicles

A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a vehicular-wireless network enabling vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications. VANET has been under the international spotlight because various applications can be developed by leveraging those wireless communications to avoid vehicular collisions or to save energies. Most of VANET applications have been de...

Modeling and Analysis of Vehicles Flow on the Road

Abstract: This study is carried out to describe the behaviour of vehicles flow on the road, in the presence of blocking effects. A non-linear three dimensional system of ordinary differential equations is used to describe vehicles flow on the road. The study classify total vehicles population on the road into three compartments as Free – Slow – Released vehicles. The formulated model is well-po...
