Abstract With the development of intelligent and interconnected traffic system, a convergence of traffic stream is anticipated in the foreseeable future, where both connected automated vehicle (CAV) and human driven vehicle (HDV) will coexist. In order to examine the effect of CAV on the overall stability and energy consumption of such a heterogeneous traffic system, we first take into account the interrelated perception of distance and speed by CAV to establish a macroscopic dynamic model through utilizing the full velocity difference (FVD) model. Subsequently, adopting the linear stability theory, we propose the linear stability condition for the model through using the small perturbation method, and the validity of the heterogeneous model is verified by comparing with the FVD model. Through nonlinear theoretical analysis, we further derive the KdV-Burgers equation, which captures the propagation characteristics of traffic density waves. Finally, by numerical simulation experiments through utilizing a macroscopic model of heterogeneous traffic flow, the effect of CAV permeability on the stability of density wave in heterogeneous traffic flow and the energy consumption of the traffic system is investigated. Subsequent analysis reveals emergent traffic phenomena. The experimental findings demonstrate that as CAV permeability increases, the ability to dampen the propagation of fluctuations in heterogeneous traffic flow gradually intensifies when giving system perturbation, leading to enhanced stability of the traffic system. Furthermore, higher initial traffic density renders the traffic system more susceptible to congestion, resulting in local clustering effect and stop-and-go traffic phenomenon. Remarkably, the total energy consumption of the heterogeneous traffic system exhibits a gradual decline with CAV permeability increasing. Further evidence has demonstrated the positive influence of CAV on heterogeneous traffic flow. This research contributes to providing theoretical guidance for future CAV applications, aiming to enhance urban road traffic efficiency and alleviate congestion.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
