Project Abstract:
This proposal aims at developing an integrated connected and autonomous truck routing model that simultaneously considers interdependency between traffic lane/”track” use, platooning, and pavement deterioration and rehabilitation, such that the total life-cycle societal costs due to infrastructure investment, traffic delay, and pavement life-cycle costs are minimized.
