Traffic control algorithms for mixed vehicle traffic - A simulation-based investigation

A library of software tools, that implements various motorway traffic control algorithms in a generic way for any network topology given by the user, has been developed and integrated with the advanced simulation environment VSimRTI. The control algorithms have been thoroughly assessed via comprehensive simulation investigations involving a large variety of penetration rates for CAVs, infrastructure types and capabilities, and traffic conditions (free flow, critical, congested). The most promising strategy appears to be an ACC parameter adaptation strategy that is presented together with the simulation evaluation results for a test site at Girona (Spain).
