Abstract:

Using automated and connected vehicles to revolutionize the transportation system is appealing because the current manner of transporting people and goods is both inefficient and unsafe. However, determining whether automated and connected vehicles would be beneficial to traffic flow and transportation would ideally require testing these vehicles in a real-world setting. In the absence of large-scale, real-world testing, TTI researchers used traffic modeling software to develop and test a vehicle mimicking the behaviors of several automated and connected vehicle applications in a congested and complex urban network. This report discloses the results of the study.
