Car2X communications at intersections
Abstract
Emerging technologies such as Car-to-X wireless communications between vehicles and infrastructure have a high potential of improving efficiency at intersections compared to traditional traffic control systems. Information such as current speed and position exchanged between vehicles and infrastructure can be processed in an intelligent way in order to reduce delay or emissions. In this paper, algorithms that minimize total delay and emissions at an intersection consisting of two one-way-streets were implemented in the microscopic traffic simulation software VISSIM assuming that the vehicles are fully controlled by the system. These algorithms were compared to an adaptive traffic control system.</br>The results show a general improvement regarding delay and emissions compared to the adaptive traffic control system. The algorithms proposed are also suitable for more complex intersections and can be easily replaced with other optimizing criteria. Show more
