As a revolutionary technology, Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) have great potential to reduce traffic collisions, increase transportation system performance, and improve environmental sustainability. This research aims to investigate the benefit or trade-off of CAVs on freeway capability, fuel consumption, and emission. To fulfil this goal,...

In transportation modeling, after defining a road network and its origin-destination (OD) matrix, the next important question is how to assign traffic among OD-pairs. Nowadays, advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) make it possible to realize the user equilibrium solution. Simultaneously, with the advent of the Cooperative Intelligent Transp...

Urban commuters have been suffering from traffic congestion for a long time. In order to avoid or mitigate the congestion effect, it is significant to know how the introduction of autonomous vehicles (AVs) influence the road capacity . The effects that AVs bring to the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) were investigated through microscopic traf...

The main goal of this paper is to determine the achievable network capacity increases, through utilization of vehicles with Automated Driving Systems. The SUMO microscopic traffic simulator was the chosen tool for this, as it is capable of simulating individual vehicles traveling on any given network. Influence over the parameters of vehicles, netw...

As highly automated and autonomous vehicles (AVs) become more and more widespread, inducing the change of traffic dynamics, significant changes occur in traditional traffic control. So far, automotive testing has been done mostly in real-world or pure virtual simulation environment. However, this practice is quite obsolete as testing in real traffi...

In recent years, self-driving cars are being introduced to streets, which generated significant attention and discussion. The widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles (AV) brings changes in several fields. One of the most exciting changes is presented by the effect that driverless cars bring to the well-known traditional traffic model, the Macros...
