A Dynamic Emergency Lane Clearing Method for Urban Roads Considering Vehicle Turning Information in a Connected Vehicle Environment

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
This study presents a bi‐level optimization model for dynamic emergency lane clearing in the connected vehicle environment, focusing on optimizing lane‐changing trajectories for normal vehicles and identifying the optimal clearance trigger points. The proposed method significantly reduces clearing time, deceleration delays, and the number of affected ...

A power law for the duration of high-flow states and its interpretation from a heterogeneous traffic flow perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We study the duration of "high-flow states” in freeway traffic, defined as the time periods for which traffic flows exceed a given flow threshold. Our empirical data are surprisingly well represented by a power law. Moreover, the power law exponent for a

Experimental verification of vehicle platoon control algorithms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Organizing a group of vehicles into a vehicle platoon in a way that, except for the leading vehicle, each platoon member can be autonomously driven has been a research goal for decades. Among other benefits this results in a decrease of fuel consump- tion

Evaluating Automatic Braking Mechanisms for Reducing Driver Fatigue in Low‐Speed Traffic Conditions: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Traffic delays are a common challenge for drivers in large cities worldwide. During these delays, drivers must maintain a safe distance from nearby vehicles while avoiding collisions with pedestrians and motorcyclists. This needs frequently alternate pressing and releasing the brake and accelerator pedals, preserving low speeds. Research indicates that

Truck Platooning Business Case Analysis

open access: yes, 2020
In this report we describe results from the work on business case analysis of the Sweden for Platooning (S4P) project. Platooning has the potential to contribute to the on-going transformation of the transport sector by reducing environmental impact, saving fuel, as well as (to a lesser extent) by improving traffic flow and safety and in the long run ...

Network‐Level Optimization of Road Space Utilization Under the Context of Autonomous Driving

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In the Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) environment, road space utilization can be more flexible. This study aims to maximize the allocation of road space for socioeconomic activities without compromising traffic demands. By exploiting the potential of CAVs to improve transportation systems, this paper explores network‐level optimization of road ...

Estimation of passing sight distance required for operation of truck platooning on two-lane highways in North America

open access: yesIATSS Research
The most well-known benefits of heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) platooning include fuel savings and emission reductions. In addition, HCV platooning under SAE automation level 4 or 5 can mitigate the truck driver shortage in North America by eliminating ...
