Framework for Accommodating Emerging Autonomous Vehicles
| 项目名称： | Framework for Accommodating Emerging Autonomous Vehicles |
| 摘要： | Description: The emergence of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and their potential for transforming freight transportation is the motivation for this project. CAVs will enable autos and trucks to �platoon,� traveling closely together on highways in order to maximize travel speed, reduce fuel consumption, and reduce congestion by cutting down on the road space each vehicle occupies. However, while research into platooning has been ongoing for several decades, most of the work has focused on the control of vehicles already in a platoon. In addition, the majority of the research has addressed single platoons or individual vehicles in a platoon. The coordination and optimization of platoons over a large-scale, real-world road network has largely been neglected. One of the reasons for this gap is the lack of a central place to find current location and eventual destination information for vehicles in a platoon, or those that may join one. Another problem is the lack of a global coordinator with the authority to suggest routes to individual vehicles in ways that will provide them with platooning opportunities. This study aims to fill these gaps in the research literature. Intellectual Merit: The work will advance knowledge through the development of: 1) novel mathematical models and agent-based simulations to represent the flow of CAVs that may take part in platoons in a transportation network, and 2) innovative solution algorithms to solve these large-scale optimization problems. Broader Impacts: The findings will be of use for developing policies to reduce traffic congestion and fuel consumption, and improve safety and travel time reliability, in a world of CAVs. Technology Transfer Plan: The research team will coordinate efforts to disseminate its results with South Carolina Logistics. It will organize research seminars as part of the ongoing seminar series at Clemson�s International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR). It will also conduct programs to train and educate underrepresented students, and organize workshops for teachers. |
