A Survey on the Coordination of Connected and Automated Vehicles at Intersections and Merging at Highway On-Ramps
TLDR
The developments and the research trends in coordination with the CAVs that have been reported in the literature to date are summarized and remaining challenges and potential future research directions are discussed.Abstract:
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to improve safety by reducing and mitigating traffic accidents. They can also provide opportunities to reduce transportation energy consumption and emissions by improving traffic flow. Vehicle communication with traffic structures and traffic lights can allow individual vehicles to optimize their operation and account for unpredictable changes. This paper summarizes the developments and the research trends in coordination with the CAVs that have been reported in the literature to date. Remaining challenges and potential future research directions are also discussed.read more

Automated and Cooperative Vehicle Merging at Highway On-Ramps
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of optimally coordinating CAVs at merging roadways to achieve smooth traffic flow without stop-and-go driving with an optimization framework and an analytical closed-form solution that allows online coordination of vehicles at merging zones.

A decentralized energy-optimal control framework for connected automated vehicles at signal-free intersections
TL;DR: The solution of the throughput maximization problem depends only on the hard safety constraints imposed on CAVs and its structure enables a decentralized optimal control problem formulation for energy minimization, which shows substantial dual benefits of the proposed decentralized framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy saving potentials of connected and automated vehicles
TL;DR: This paper is an attempt to highlight the energy saving potential of connected and automated vehicles based on first principles of motion, optimal control theory, and a review of the vast but scattered eco-driving literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platoons of connected vehicles can double throughput in urban roads
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the potential mobility benefits of platooning and argued that saturation flow rates, and hence intersection capacity, can be doubled or tripled by platooning, supported by the analysis of three queuing models and by the simulation of a road network.
