| Título | Evaluation of Automated Intersection Control Strategies for Automated Vehicles | |
| Abstract: The development of automated vehicles has been experiencing an increased growth since 2000, and tends to continue growing as major car manufacturers start their own initiatives. With the advances in connected and automated vehicle technologies, a number of complications arise. These complications are not only related to the technological development itself, but also to the operational aspects, such as the seamless usage of these technologies in order to make traffic flow safer and more efficiently, particularly in conflict regions, i.e, regions within a traffic network where two or more streams of traffic have conflicting trajectories. Regarding the operational aspects, the existence of conflict regions, such as crossings and intersections, leads to the necessity of creating control strategies that coordinate the safe and efficient usage of those regions. Examples of improvements in traffic flow are the reduction in vehicle delay, reduction in the number of accidents and the emission of pollutants. In this work, we will study the current automated intersection control strategies and the trends around them. A few chosen strategies will be implemented within the same environment, and compared among them, under quantitative and qualitative analysis, e.g., scalability, efficiency, generality, etc. | ||
