Microsimulation Analysis of Automated Vehicles on Multiple
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a protocol that controls automated autonomous vehicles driving on a multiple merge junction highway. The protocol is distributed and it controls both merging and yielding. We show a simulation study that presents the protocol and its impacts on safety and congestion under diierent operating conditions. Our main result is that for simultaneous safe and eecient operations of autonomous automated vehicles the desired time headway must be linked to the travel demand on the highway segment.

Scheduling of Multiple Autonomous Guided Vehicles for an Assembly Line Using Minimum Cost Network Flow
This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...
متن کاملOptimizing the Static and Dynamic Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in Container Terminals
The Minimum Cost Flow (MCF) problem is a well-known problem in the area of network optimisation. To tackle this problem, Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) is the fastest solution method. NSA has three extensions, namely Network Simplex plus Algorithm (NSA+), Dynamic Network Simplex Algorithm (DNSA) and Dynamic Network Simplex plus Algorithm (DNSA+). The objectives of the research reported in this...
متن کاملCellular Automata for One-Lane Traffic Flow Modelling: Safety and Automation
In recent years the modelling of traffic flow using methods from statistical physics, especially cellular automata models have allowed simulations of large traffic networks faster than real time. In this paper, we study a probabilistic cellular automaton model for microsimulations of traffic flow of automated vehicles in highways. This model describes single-lane traffic flow on a ring. We stud...
متن کاملClose Following Behavior: Estimation of Desired Gap Headway Using Loop Detector Data (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The desired gap headway of drivers, while close following, represents the main parameter in determining the following distance between vehicles. This paper uses the raw individual vehicles data taken from loop detectors for millions of vehicles used M25 and M42 in order to estimate the gap headway distributions between successive pairs of vehicles. The data used in this paper were filtered so...
متن کاملMicrosimulation (3).qxd
INTRODUCTION When traffic microsimulation was first introduced commercially in the mid 1990s, it represented a significant advance in modelling. With its focus on vehicle behaviours and interactions on the network, and its ability to test scenarios and immediately see results through a virtual reality display, it was nothing short of a revolution. Since that time traffic microsimulation (hereaf...
