Abstract:
To address the congestion and secondary accidents on highways involving both Connected and Automated Vehicles and Human-driven Vehicles after abnormal incidents occur, this paper focuses on a single lane and proposes a lane-based speed regulation method. This study utilizes the controllability of Connected and Automated Vehicles by controlling the passing speed to indirectly guide the driving behavior of Human-driven Vehicles. The area near the bottleneck is divided into a speed limit area and a coordination area. In the speed limit area, the Connected and Automated Vehicles speed limit values for different lanes are determined based on real-time traffic flow at the bottleneck, and the number of vehicles flowing into the coordination area is controlled to alleviate the formation and propagation of congestion waves. In the coordination area, the Connected and Automated Vehicles movement on the incident lane is controlled to ensure that vehicles could pass through the bottleneck area safely and efficiently. A set of simulation experiments are conducted, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified from two aspects: efficiency and safety. The simulation results show that compared to an uncontrolled baseline scenario, the average traveling time of vehicles can be increased by 2.4% and the improvement rate of TET (Time Exposed time-to-collision) can reach 14% in a 50% Connected and Automated Vehicles market penetration rates environment. And in a 90% market penetration rates environment, the average travel time can be increased by 18.5%, and the TET improvement rate rises to 51%. This paper could provide strategic recommendations and methods to control the traffic flow when an incident happens under the mixed flow environment. © 2025 Science Press. All rights reserved.
