Abstract
Congestion reduction is one of the expected positive effects of the implementation of autonomous vehicles; however, in mixed environments containing autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles, the anticipated positive effects may not be fully attained. In this study, we simulate various mixed environments containing autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles and assess the traffic congestion issues encountered at a T-junction intersection. Then, a method to resolve these issues is proposed involving the adjustment of inter-vehicle distance. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated and shows positive results.
