Project Abstract:
The proposed research introduces an innovative junction control method that can coordinate automated vehicle platoons for traversing the junction of intersections in an urban area with high efficiency while maintaining safety. This work includes the development of the algorithm through math modeling and computer simulation for controlling vehicle platoons in the junction. The proposed control system is built on the premise that traffic signals may be eliminated in the future to reduce interruptions to the traffic flow.
