1 CAV Trajectory Optimization & Capacity Analysis - Modeling Methods and Field Experiments Xiaopeng (Shaw) Li Assistant Professor, Susan A. Bracken Faculty Fellow Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of South Florida 6/25/2018 Session 2B: Are We Ready for the AV Future? 7th Innovations in Travel Modeling Conference

2 Hope for CAV: Capacity Booster 2 People expect connected automated vehicles can significantly increase (or even multiple) high way capacity How to realize this potential? Human-driven traffic CAV traffic

3 Steps to Improve CAV Capacity 3 Microscopic trajectory control Reduce headway Improve traffic smoothness Macroscopic capacity analysis Understand the relationship between cav traffic characteristics (e.g., CAV penetration ratio) and macroscopic measures (e.g., traffic throughput) Validation Field experiments Data analysis

4 CAV Trajectory Optimization 4 Signalized Intersections Coordinate signal timing with vehicle trajectory control Human-driven traffic CAV traffic
