Longitudinal Control for CAV Test
Recent literature shows that automated vehicle (AV) significantly impacts traffic flow stability. However, as a widely used longitudinal AV technology, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system still has several unknown features that lack field data for modeling. We ran a series of novel tests with two ACC vehicles to simulate the behavior of the AV platoon in the field experiment. We designed a linear car-following controller in the upper layer system and tested the string stability of the ACC vehicle platoon. Data is collected through the vehicle's GPS sensor and upper controller. These data can help us estimate the feedback delay in the upper layer and parasitic lag in the lower layer.
A binary light code is developed for V2X communications based on cameras and LED lights. Several use cases (UCs) for implementing the binary light code are defined as follows...
Machine learning in AV
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) play an important role in the intelligent transportation system. The decision of CAVs lane-changing in heterogeneous traffic flow composed of CAVs and regular vehicles (RVs) becomes a key link. We build a framework of the lane-changing decisions on wide spatiotemporal conditions (WST-LCDF) for CAVs training and leaning to increase CAVs speed at automation-to-driver handover. In addition, the normal prediction index (RMSE and MAPE) and the simulation result index ( and ) were conducted to evaluate the influence of WST-LCDF...
