Investigating the Effect of Connected Vehicles (CV) Route Guidance on Mobility and Equity |
摘要: |
Traffic congestion is a serious and increasing national problem, especially for urban commuters. Providing accurate real-time traffic information is a key tool to reduce congestion.
Recent studies have shown that connected vehicles (CVs) can help improve traffic mobility and safety while saving energy and reducing emissions. The CV guidance system is an emerging form of dynamic route guidance. The proposed research will develop and calibrate a microscopic traffic simulation model to replicate the fairly realistic behavior of such vehicles in the traffic simulation environment. Unlike the majority of prior studies that have used hypothetical study areas with simple networks, this study will develop a real-world medium urban road network. Different penetration rates of CVs (0% - 100%) will be developed, and the system-wide effects of CV-equipped vehicles with route guidance features on mobility and equity will be analyzed. |
