Traffic Signal Control with Connected Vehicles

Improving Travel times for Emergency Response Vehicles: Traffic Control Strategies Based on Connected Vehicles Technologies

Evaluating a Signal Control System Using a Real-time Traffic Simulator Connected to a Traffic Signal Controller

In this simulation platform, signal controllers that operate in the traffic simulator show signal aspects instructed actual traffic signal controller. Because the interface of a practical signal controller transmits contact-point conditions, the interface cannot exchange information directly with a traffic simulator program operated on a personal computer. So, a LAN/parallel converter was used ...

Traffic Congestion Detection System through Connected Vehicles and Big Data

This article discusses the simulation and evaluation of a traffic congestion detection system which combines inter-vehicular communications, fixed roadside infrastructure and infrastructure-to-infrastructure connectivity and big data. The system discussed in this article permits drivers to identify traffic congestion and change their routes accordingly, thus reducing the total emissions of CO₂ ...

Influential Subpaces of Connected Vehicles in Highway Traffic

This work introduces the novel concept of an influential subspace, with focus on its application to highway traffic containing connected vehicles. In this context, an influential subspace of a connected vehicle is defined as the region of a highway where the connected vehicle has the ability to positively influence the macrostate, i.e. the traffic jam, so as to dissipate it within a specified t...

Transit signal priority accommodating conflicting requests under Connected Vehicles technology

In this research, a person-delay-based optimization method is proposed for an intelligent Transit Signal Priority (TSP) logic that resolves multiple conflicting TSP requests at an isolated intersection. This TSP with Connected Vehicles accommodating Conflicting Requests (TSPCV-CR) overcomes the challenge bore by the conventional ‘‘first come first serve” strategy and presents significant improv...
