摘要/Abstract

摘要： This paper investigates traffic flow of connected and automated vehicles at lane drop on two-lane highway. We evaluate and compare performance of an optimization-based control algorithm (OCA) with that of a heuristic rules-based algorithm (HRA). In the OCA, the average speed of each vehicle is maximized. In the HRA, virtual vehicle and restriction of the command acceleration caused by the virtual vehicle are introduced. It is found that (i) capacity under the HRA (denoted as C_H) is smaller than capacity under the OCA; (ii) the travel delay is always smaller under the OCA, but driving is always much more comfortable under the HRA; (iii) when the inflow rate is smaller than C_H, the HRA outperforms the OCA with respect to the fuel consumption and the monetary cost; (iv) when the inflow rate is larger than C_H, the HRA initially performs better with respect to the fuel consumption and the monetary cost, but the OCA would become better after certain time. The spatiotemporal pattern and speed profile of traffic flow are presented, which explains the reason underlying the different performance. The study is expected to help for better understanding of the two different types of algorithm.
