In 2019, UC Davis experts met with a cross section of policy stakeholders to discuss sustainable transportation topics in California and the rest of the US over the coming years. The Transportation Fundamentals briefing series was an opportunity for staffers in the Legislature, Regulatory Agencies and NGOs who are new to the sustainable transportation space to familiarize themselves with important technologies, statistics and trends in electric vehicles, alternative fuels, sustainable freight.
This project uses connected vehicle technology to gather real-time traffic data for an online adaptive signal control strategy (ACS). The researchers wanted to know how effectively the ACS could reduce traffic delay and fuel consumption.
In this project report, the authors present an agent-based online adaptive signal control strategy based on real-time traffic information available from vehicles equipped with connected vehicle technology
Researchers at the University of Southern California developed, analyzed, and evaluated an innovative approach to alleviate highway bottleneck congestion, which includes issuing variable-speed advisories and lane-change recommendations when needed to the upstream vehicles, as well as ramp control to manage incoming traffic, while accounting for inaccuracies in traffic data and road information and the complex behavior of human driving.
This webinar highlights UC Riverside researchers’ efforts to develop an Innovation Corridor testbed for enabling research in shared mobility, vehicle electrification, and connected and automated transportation.
