| Outline of Research at the Start |
For the next generation road transportation systems, integrated-cooperative traffic and automated vehicle control schemes will be developed under a cyber-physical framework to maximize the level of services, energy efficiency, transportation performances, and user comforts in the future society.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A cyber-physical traffic control framework is proposed to optimize network traffic flexibly with heterogeneous vehicles considered multi-agent systems. The system's effectiveness is evaluated in critical scenarios in improving traffic capacity, flows, fuel consumption, and emissions. The developed multi-agent-based traffic signal optimization schemes with a receding horizon approach can flexibly coordinate any vehicles, considered physical agents on the roads with their twin modeled in cyberspace, for smooth flows at the intersections. With multiple international collaborations, we extended the proposed cyber-physical framework beyond the intersection's traffic. Specifically, we consider all major traffic problem scenarios, e.g., a roundabout, mandatory overtaking cases, and merging scenarios. Moreover, the most significant development is the look-ahead driving schemes that improve other vehicles' performances and overall road capacity.
