Approach-level models were developed to accommodate the diversity of approaches within the same intersection. A random effect term, which indicates the intersection-specific effect, was incorporated into each crash type model to deal with the spatial correlation between different approaches within the same intersection. The model parameters were estimated under the Bayesian framework. Results show that different crash types are correlated with different groups of factors, and each factor shows diverse effects on different crash types, which indicates the importance of crash type models. Besides, the significance of random effect term confirms the existence of spatial correlations among different approaches within the same intersection.

Digital Twin, as an emerging technology related to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT), has attracted increasing attentions during the past decade. Conceptually, a Digital Twin is a digital replica of a physical entity in the re
al world, and this technology is leveraged in this study to design a cooperative driving system at non-signalized intersections, allowing connected vehicles to cooperate with each other to cross intersections without any full stops. Within the proposed Digital Twin framework, we developed an enhanced first-in-first-out (FIFO) slot reservation algorithm to schedule the sequence of crossing vehicles, a consensus motion control algorithm to calculate vehicles referenced longitudinal motion, and a model-based motion estimation algorithm to tackle communication delay and packet loss. Additionally, an augmented reality (AR) human-machine-interface (HMI) is designed to provide the guidance to drivers to cooperate with other connected vehicles. Agent-based modeling and simulation of the proposed system is conducted in Unity game engine based on a real-world map in San Francisco, and the human-in-the-loop (HITL) simulation results prove the benefits of the proposed algorithms with 20% reduction in travel time and 23.7% reduction in energy consumption, respectively, when compared with traditional signalized intersections.
This article mediates an mathematical insight to the theory of vehicular headways measured on signalized crossroads. Considering both, mathematical and empirical substances of the socio-physical system studied, we firstly formulate several theoretica
l and empirically-inspired criteria for acceptability of theoretical headway-distributions. Sequentially, the multifarious families of statistical distributions (commonly used to fit real-road headway statistics) are confronted with these criteria, and with original experimental time-clearances gauged among neighboring vehicles leaving signal-controlled crossroads after a green signal appears. Another goal of this paper is, however, to decide (by means of three completely different numerical schemes) on the origin of statistical distributions recorded by stop-line-detectors. Specifically, we intend to examine whether an arrangement of vehicles is a consequence of traffic rules, drivers estimation-processes, and decision-making procedures or, on contrary, if it is a consequence of general stochastic nature of queueing systems.
Pollutant emissions have been a topic of interest in the last decades. Not only environmentalists but also governments are taking rapid action to reduce emissions. As one of the main contributors, the transport sector is being subjected to strict scr
utiny to ensure it complies with the short and long-term regulations. The measures imposed by the governments clearly involve, all the stakeholders in the logistics sector, from road authorities and logistic operators to truck manufacturers. Improvement of traffic conditions is one of the perspectives in which the reduction of emissions is being addressed. Optimization of traffic flow, avoidance of unnecessary stops, control of the cruise speed, and coordination of trips in an energy-efficient way are necessary steps to remain compliant with the upcoming regulations. In this study, we have measured the $CO_2$ and $NO_x$ emissions in heavy-duty vehicles while traversing signalized intersections and we examined the differences between various scenarios. We found that avoiding a stop can reduce $CO_2$ and $NO_x$ emissions on 0.32 kg and 1.8 g, respectively. These results put traffic control in the main scene as a yet unexplored dimension to control pollutant emissions, enabling the authorities to more accurately estimate cost-benefit plans for traffic control system investments.
Non-signalized intersection is a typical and common scenario for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). How to balance safety and efficiency remains difficult for researchers. To improve the original Responsibility Sensitive Safety (RSS) driving st
rategy on the non-signalized intersection, we propose a new strategy in this paper, based on right-of-way assignment (RWA). The performances of RSS strategy, cooperative driving strategy, and RWA based strategy are tested and compared. Testing results indicate that our strategy yields better traffic efficiency than RSS strategy, but not satisfying as the cooperative driving strategy due to the limited range of communication and the lack of long-term planning. However, our new strategy requires much fewer communication costs among vehicles.
To properly assess the impact of (cooperative) adaptive cruise control ACC (CACC), one has to model vehicle dynamics. First of all, one has to choose the car following model, as it determines the vehicle flow as vehicles accelerate from standstill or
decelerate because of the obstacle ahead. The other factor significantly affecting the intersection throughput is the maximal vehicle acceleration rate. In this paper, we analyze three car following behaviors: Gipps model, Improved Intelligent Driver Model (IIDM) and Helly model. Gipps model exhibits rather aggressive acceleration behavior. If used for the intersection throughput estimation, this model would lead to overly optimistic results. Helly model is convenient to analyze due to its linear nature, but its deceleration behavior in the presence of obstacles ahead is unrealistically abrupt. Showing the most realistic acceleration and deceleration behavior of the three models, IIDM is suited for ACC/CACC impact evaluation better than the other two. We discuss the influence of the maximal vehicle acceleration rate and presence of different portions of ACC/CACC vehicles on intersection throughput in the context of the three car following models. The analysis is done for two cases: (1) free road downstream of the intersection; and (2) red light at some distance downstream of the intersection. Finally, we introduce the platoon model and evaluate ACC and CACC with platooning in terms of travel time ad network throughput using SUMO simulation of the 4-mile stretch of Colorado Boulevard / Huntington Drive arterial with 13 signalized intersections in Arcadia, Southern California.
