New Intersection Control for Conventional and Automated Vehicles without Traffic Lights: A combination of individual control and self-regulation

This thesis aims to develop a novel control strategy that efficiently controls traffic with different penetration rates by relying purely on wireless communication to integrate the control of automated and human drivers. The new strategy uses the concept of induced platooning to use automated vehicle to indirectly control conventional vehicles. The control of these induced platoons is based on the combination of self-regulation and individual trajectory control. Results show that the new strategy is able to efficiently coordinate vehicles at an intersection and it can be considered as candidate solution to manage traffic during the transition phase where conventional and automated vehicles coexist.Civil Engineering | Transport and Plannin
