Purpose-On-ramp merging areas are typical bottlenecks in the freeway network since
merging on-ramp vehicles may cause intensive disturbances on the mainline traffic flow and …

Impacts of vehicle automation and connectivity have been studied widely from the
perspectives of fuel economy, ecology, and safety. Synthesis of various segments of this …

This paper deals with traffic control at motorway bottlenecks assuming the existence of an
unknown, time-varying, Fundamental Diagram (FD). The FD may change over time due to …

The work on this paper studies the combined effect of vehicle dynamics, sampling period
and the quality of inter-vehicle sensing and communication on the performance of platoon …

This study proposed an on-ramp cooperative control strategy for connected and automated
vehicles (CAVs) based on the virtual platoon method. First, the formation rules of the virtual …

Reasonable mandatory lane-changing of vehicles in the vicinity of signalized intersections is
essential to traffic efficiency and vehicle safety at intersections. The negative impact of …

With the development of autonomous driving technology, truck platooning control has
become a reality. Truck platooning can improve road capacity by maintaining a minor …

The on-ramp area is a high-risk conflict zone where traffic accidents frequently occur.
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to enhance the safety of the …

Merging activities at freeway merging areas can cause significant recurrent and non‐
recurrent bottleneck congestion due to vehicles' mandatory lateral conflicts. The Connected …

Driver models are crucial for the safety assessment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) because
of their role as reference models. Specifically, an AV is expected to achieve at least the …
