The effect of autonomous vehicles: new challenges of vehicle and traffic control
Abstract
Development of autonomous vehicles is an enormous project for car manufacturers, but also a big challenge for traffic engineers. When driverless cars start circulating on public roads with high proportion, the traditional traffic modeling and control methods need thorough revision. Microscopic traffic models (and simulators) must be capable of appropriately capturing the dynamics of autonomous driving. Similarly, the characteristic values of the macroscopic fundamental diagram and its shape will significantly alter. In addition, the microscopic traffic simulation becomes important in the process of autonomous vehicle development and testing, especially in the “Vehicle-inthe-Loop” test environment
