Intelligently managing mixed traffic flows at intersections Proposal of a platoon-based round-robin algorithm with priorities
The importance
of addressing the complexities of mixed traffic conditions by providing
innovative approaches, models, and algorithms for traffic control has been well
highlighted in the state-of-the-art literature. Accordingly, the first aim of
this study has been to enhance the traditional intersection control methods for
the incorporation of autonomous vehicles and wireless communications. For this
purpose, we have introduced a novel framework labeled by “PRRP-framework”. The
PRRP-framework also enables flexible preferential treatments for some special
vehicles within an implementable range of complexity while it addresses the
stochastic nature of traffic flow. Moreover, the PRRP-framework has been
coupled with a speed advisory system that brings complementary strengths
leading to even better performance. Further simulations reported in this
manuscript, confirmed that such an integration effort is a prerequisite to move
towards sustainable results.
