Suppressing secondary shock waves in jam-absorption driving via string-stable support vehicles
Atsushi Suzuki, Akihiro Tokumitsu, Ryosuke Nishi
As a freeway-driving strategy, jam-absorption driving (JAD) clears a traffic shock wave (stop-and-go wave) by slowing down a single vehicle, called the absorbing vehicle. However,…

A Review of Stop-and-Go Traffic Wave Suppression Strategies: Variable Speed Limit vs. Jam-Absorption Driving
Zhengbing He, Jorge Laval, Yu Han +3
The main form of freeway traffic congestion is the familiar stop-and-go wave, characterized by wide moving jams that propagate indefinitely upstream provided enough traffic demand.…
