Performance Analysis of Optimally Coordinated Connected and Automated Vehicles in a Mixed Traffic Environment

Abstract

Trajectory planning of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) poses significant challenges in a mixed traffic environment due to the presence of human-driven vehicles (HDVs). In this paper, we apply a framework that allows coordination of CAVs and HDVs traveling through a traffic corridor consisting of an on-ramp merging, a speed reduction zone, and a roundabout. We study the impact of different penetration rates of CAVs and traffic volumes on the efficiency of the corridor. We provide extensive simulation results and report on the benefits in terms of total travel time and fuel economy.
