Abstract
With the emergence of connected and automated technologies, Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are able to communicate and interact with other vehicles and signal controllers. Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications open up an opportunity to improve routing and signal timing efficiency with additional information from CAVs, such as prior travel time and signal green time. Most of the existing research on routing and signal timing for Human Driven Vehicles (HDVs) has to face the fact that human drivers only have partial knowledge about travel costs and traffic status on the road network, which typically reduces the system efficiency. In this paper, the impacts of additional information from CAVs on routing and signal timing efficiency in terms of total travel time have been investigated. An Optimal Routing and Signal Timing (ORST) control strategy for CAVs has been proposed and compared with four existing routing and signal timing strategies where drivers have different levels of information. The results of the simulation demonstrate that with additional information from CAVs, ORST can reduce about 49% of the total travel time compared with Stochastic User Equilibrium (SUE) and about 10% of the total travel time compared with User Equilibrium (UE).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems is devoted to scholarly research on the development, planning, management, operation and evaluation of intelligent transportation systems. Intelligent transportation systems are innovative solutions that address contemporary transportation problems. They are characterized by information, dynamic feedback and automation that allow people and goods to move efficiently. They encompass the full scope of information technologies used in transportation, including control, computation and communication, as well as the algorithms, databases, models and human interfaces. The emergence of these technologies as a new pathway for transportation is relatively new.
The Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems is especially interested in research that leads to improved planning and operation of the transportation system through the application of new technologies. The journal is particularly interested in research that adds to the scientific understanding of the impacts that intelligent transportation systems can have on accessibility, congestion, pollution, safety, security, noise, and energy and resource consumption.
The journal is inter-disciplinary, and accepts work from fields of engineering, economics, planning, policy, business and management, as well as any other disciplines that contribute to the scientific understanding of intelligent transportation systems. The journal is also multi-modal, and accepts work on intelligent transportation for all forms of ground, air and water transportation. Example topics include the role of information systems in transportation, traffic flow and control, vehicle control, routing and scheduling, traveler response to dynamic information, planning for ITS innovations, evaluations of ITS field operational tests, ITS deployment experiences, automated highway systems, vehicle control systems, diffusion of ITS, and tools/software for analysis of ITS.
