This paper studies the energy and traffic impact of a proposed Anticipative Cruise Controller in a PTV VISSIM microsimulation environment. We dissect our controller into two parts: 1. the anticipative mode, more immediately beneficial when automated vehicle fleet penetration is low, and 2. the connected mode, beneficial in coordinated car-following scenarios and high automated vehicle penetrations appropriate for autonomous vehicle specific applications. Probabilistic constraints handle safety considerations, and vehicle constraints for acceleration capabilities are expressed through the use of powertrain maps. Real traffic scenarios are then modeled using time headway distributions from traffic data. To study impact over a range of demands, we vary input vehicle volume from low to high and then vary automated vehicle penetration from low to high. When examining all-human driving scenarios, network capacity failed to meet demand in high-volume scenarios, such as rush-hour traffic. We further find that with automated vehicles introduced which utilize probabilistic constraints to balance safety and traffic compactness, network capacity was improved to support the high-volume scenarios. Finally, we examine energy efficiencies of the fleet for conventional, electric, and hybrid vehicles. We find that automated vehicles perform at a 10% - 20% higher energy efficiency over human drivers when considering conventional powertrains, and find that automated vehicles perform at a 3% - 9% higher energy efficiency over human drivers when considering electric and hybrid powertrains. Due to secondary effects of smoothing traffic flow, energy benefits also apply to human-driven vehicles that interact with automated ones. Such simulated humans were found to drive up to 10% more energy-efficiently than they did in the baseline all-human scenario.

This paper experimentally demonstrates the effectiveness of an anticipative car-following algorithm in reducing energy use of gasoline engine and electric Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV), without sacrificing safety and traffic flow. We propose
a Vehicle-in-the-Loop (VIL) testing environment in which experimental CAVs driven on a track interact with surrounding virtual traffic in real-time. We explore the energy savings when following city and highway drive cycles, as well as in emergent highway traffic created from microsimulations. Model predictive control handles high level velocity planning and benefits from communicated intentions of a preceding CAV or estimated probable motion of a preceding human driven vehicle. A combination of classical feedback control and data-driven nonlinear feedforward control of pedals achieve acceleration tracking at the low level. The controllers are implemented in ROS and energy is measured via calibrated OBD-II readings. We report up to 30% improved energy economy compared to realistically calibrated human driver car-following without sacrificing following headway.
Current state-of-art traffic microsimulation tools cannot accurately estimate safety, efficiency, and mobility benefits of automated driving systems and vehicle connectivity because of not considering physical and powertrain characteristics of vehicl
es and resistance forces. This paper proposes realistic longitudinal control functions for autonomous vehicles with and without vehicle-to-vehicle communications and a realistic vehicle-following model for human-driven vehicles, considering driver characteristics and vehicle dynamics. Conventional longitudinal control functions apply a constant time gap policy and use empirical constant controller coefficients, potentially sacrificing safety or reducing throughput. Proposed longitudinal control functions calculate minimum safe time gaps at each simulation time step and tune controller coefficients at each simulation time step during acceleration and deceleration to maximize throughput without compromising safety.
The paper considers the problem of controlling Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) traveling through a three-entry roundabout so as to jointly minimize both the travel time and the energy consumption while providing speed-dependent safety guarant
ees, as well as satisfying velocity and acceleration constraints. We first design a systematic approach to dynamically determine the safety constraints and derive the unconstrained optimal control solution. A joint optimal control and barrier function (OCBF) method is then applied to efficiently obtain a controller that optimally track the unconstrained optimal solution while guaranteeing all the constraints. Simulation experiments are performed to compare the optimal controller to a baseline of human-driven vehicles showing effectiveness under symmetric and asymmetric roundabout configurations, balanced and imbalanced traffic rates and different sequencing rules for CAVs.
This paper proposes a robust transient stability constrained optimal power flow problem that addresses renewable uncertainties by the coordination of generation re-dispatch and power flow router (PFR) tuning.PFR refers to a general type of network-si
de controller that enlarges the feasible region of the OPF problem. The coordination between network-side and generator-side control in the proposed model is more general than the traditional methods which focus on generation dispatch only. An offline-online solution framework is developed to solve the problem efficiently. Under this framework the original problem is significantly simplified, so that we only need to solve a low-dimensional deterministic problem at the online stage to achieve real-time implementation with a high robustness level. The proposed method is verified on the modified New England 39-bus system. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient and shows good performance on economy and robustness.
Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) rely on the correctness of position and other vehicle kinematics information to fulfill various driving tasks such as vehicle following, lane change, and collision avoidance. However, a malicious vehicle may se
nd false sensor information to the other vehicles intentionally or unintentionally, which may cause traffic inconvenience or loss of human lives. Here, we take the advantage of cloud-computing and increase the resilience of CAVs to malicious vehicles by assuming each vehicle shares its local sensor information with other vehicles to create information redundancy on the cloud side. We exploit this redundancy and propose a sensor fusion algorithm for the cloud, capable of providing a robust state estimation of all vehicles in the cloud under the condition that the number of malicious information is sufficiently small. Using the proposed estimator, we provide an algorithm for isolating malicious vehicles. We use numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of our methods.
