Abstract:

To solve the existing cellular automata model of automatic-manual driving that does not consider the behavior of vehicle platoon, a cellular automata model of mixed traffic flow with the intelligent connected vehicles platoon is proposed, and the characteristics of mixed traffic flow are analyzed. The existing car-following behaviors in mixed traffic flow are analyzed. Based on the characteristics of the car-following behaviors, the cellular automata rules of human-driven vehicles (HDV), adaptive cruise control (ACC), and cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) are developed, respectively. Based on the numerical simulation experiments, the mixed traffic flow characteristics and congestion conditions are analyzed under different intelligent networked vehicle penetration rates. The result shows that with intelligent connected vehicles, the road capacity and average vehicle speed can be improved significantly, and traffic congestion can be alleviated effectively.

Key words: intelligent connected vehicles’ platoon, traffic flow characteristics, cellular automata model, mixed traffic flow, penetration rate
