Presentation Description
Cooperative driving automation (CDA) technologies provide great opportunities to improve the safety and flow of traffic and facilitate road operations by supporting the movement of multiple vehicles in proximity to one another. Vehicles and infrastructure elements engaged in CDA may share information, such as state (e.g., vehicle position and speed) or intent (e.g., planned vehicle trajectory), or they may seek agreement on a plan (e.g., coordinated merge). This study proposes a cooperative control framework for cooperative-automated driving system (C-ADS)-equipped vehicles on freeways. This framework integrates three freeway applications: platooning, cooperative merge, and cooperative traffic management including speed and gap control.
