Enabling Real-Time Phase Control in Traffic Signal Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
Zhiyao Zhang, Gergely Zachár, William Barbour +4
Advanced Traffic Signal Control (TSC) algorithms require real-time phase control, yet existing Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) testbeds only support pre-programmed timing pl…
Designing, simulating, and performing the 100-AV field test for the CIRCLES consortium: Methodology and Implementation of the Largest mobile traffic control experiment to date
Mostafa Ameli, Sean Mcquade, Jonathan W. Lee +20
Previous controlled experiments on single-lane ring roads have shown that a single partially autonomous vehicle (AV) can effectively mitigate traffic waves. This naturally prompts…
Traffic Control via Connected and Automated Vehicles: An Open-Road Field Experiment with 100 CAVs
Jonathan W. Lee, Han Wang, Kathy Jang +61
The CIRCLES project aims to reduce instabilities in traffic flow, which are naturally occurring phenomena due to human driving behavior. These "phantom jams" or "stop-and-go waves,…
Reinforcement Learning Based Oscillation Dampening: Scaling up Single-Agent RL algorithms to a 100 AV highway field operational test
Kathy Jang, Nathan Lichtlé, Eugene Vinitsky +10
In this article, we explore the technical details of the reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms that were deployed in the largest field test of automated vehicles designed to smoot…
Traffic smoothing using explicit local controllers
Amaury Hayat, Arwa Alanqary, Rahul Bhadani +16
The dissipation of stop-and-go waves attracted recent attention as a traffic management problem, which can be efficiently addressed by automated driving. As part of the 100 automat…
Are commercially implemented adaptive cruise control systems string stable?
George Gunter, Derek Gloudemans, Raphael E. Stern +9
In this article, we assess the string stability of seven 2018 model year adaptive cruise control (ACC) equipped vehicles that are widely available in the US market. Seven distinct…
Dissipation of stop-and-go waves via control of autonomous vehicles: Field experiments
Raphael E. Stern, Shumo Cui, Maria Laura Delle Monache +11
Traffic waves are phenomena that emerge when the vehicular density exceeds a critical threshold. Considering the presence of increasingly automated vehicles in the traffic stream,…
