Simulating platooned connected autonomous vehicle in a large scale urban scenario

Abstract: This article is concerned with the performance evaluation of connected, autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in a realistic large-scale microsimulation scenario. In particular the question is: how much could a high diffusion of CAVs possibly change (1)~the average travel speeds (2)~the trip times of all traffic participants, including pedestrians, and (3)~the energy/fuel consumption? For this purpose, admittedly favourable assumptions are made: a 100\% diffusion of platooning-capable CAVs as substitution for private cars as well as a high maximum speed of platooned vehiclesin order to enable platoon formation. The morning rush hour scenario of the metropolitan area of Bologna, Italy has been selected for assessment. This scenario, which has been created and validated in previous works, represents an activity based demand model with travel plans for individual citizens, including all relevant transport modes.  The microsimulation is performed by means of the SUMO simulator. The entire demand .... https://www.tib-op.org/ojs/index.php/scp/article/view/175
