Sixu Li, Swaroop Darbha, Yang Zhou
Platooning of connected and automated vehicles provides significant benefits in terms of energy efficiency, traffic throughput, and, most critically, safety. These safety benefits…
Modeling Cascading Driver Interventions in Partially Automated Traffic: A Semi-Markov Chain Approach
Zihao Li, Fan Pu, Soyoung Ahn +1
This paper presents an analytical modeling framework for partially automated traffic, incorporating cascading driver intervention behaviors. In this framework, drivers of partially…
Traffic Wave Properties for Automated Vehicles During Traffic Oscillations via Analytical Approximations
Yang Zhou, Sixu Li, Wissam Kontar +3
This paper presents an analytical approximation framework to understand the dynamics of traffic wave propagation for Automated Vehicles (AVs) during traffic oscillations. The frame…
Human-Machine Interaction in Automated Vehicles: Reducing Voluntary Driver Intervention
Xinzhi Zhong, Yang Zhou, Varshini Kamaraj +5
This paper develops a novel car-following control method to reduce voluntary driver interventions and improve traffic stability in Automated Vehicles (AVs). Through a combination o…
