Researchers propose a hierarchical ramp control system that allows microscopic cooperative maneuvers for connected and automated electric vehicles (CAEVs) on the ramp to merge into mainline traffic flow under certain controlled ramp inflow rate.
In this research, we will build upon this past research to develop a new cooperative traffic operation approach that takes advantage of not only infrastructure-to-vehicle communications, but also vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. This effort integrates a dynamic traffic signalization algorithm together with EAD algorithm to achieve even greater traffic efficiency.
This data are output from PTV VISSIM via application programming interfaces (APIs). The files are in .csv format. The contents of each file include vehicle ID, vehicle speed (in mph), MOVES estimate of fuel consumption (in grams), and CMEM estimate of fuel consumption (in grams) on the basis of one simulation time step (1 Hz).
This project will help both transportation and environmental agencies at all levels, and car manufacturers, to understand the design, operation, and impacts of optimal eco-driving strategies. The project will provide urgent science and test-based input to inform policy and practice development.
In this project, the researcher aims to create an agent-based cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system (CVIS) framework, and develop modeling and control approaches in a connected and automat
The rapid development of our transportation systems has brought much convenience to our daily lives, while also introducing various issues related to safety, mobility, and environmental sustainabil
