Abstract

Highway-dominated urban societies face many challenges in civilian and commercial transportation. Highways have low passenger density and higher rates of accidents and fatalities than bus- and locomotive-dominated urban areas. Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) promise to reduce driver-related highway accidents by shifting responsibility; however, the problem of low passenger density on highways persists. Vehicle Platooning (VP) increases passenger density on highways by coordinating many AVs to follow each other closely, allowing more vehicles to fit within a given length and reducing aerodynamic drag, thereby increasing energy efficiency. This proof-of-concept study introduces a Competitive Migration Game (CMG) applied to the real-time formation of multiple VPs to ensure the behavioral stability of platoon members via Nash Equilibrium (NE) and control the maximum platoon size to maintain highway safety. The CMG also respects user preferences for which platoon to join, whether based on platoon driving characteristics or fleet brand. Simulation results indicate behavioral stability in the formation and management of multiple platoons via NE.

Potential-Game Structured Cooperative Eco-Driving for Mixed Platoons at Signalized Intersections

In modern transportation systems, eco-driving aims to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining traffic efficiency and safety. Existing eco-driving methods at signalized intersections often rely on accurately prescribed arrival times, which are difficult to obtain in mixed traffic due to the motion uncert...

Autonomous Vehicles, Urban Deployment, and Welfare Effects

This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the effects of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on the spatial structures of future cities. We consider two types of AVs, private AVs (PAVs) and shared AVs (SAVs). We assume that AVs have a lower marginal travel time cost than human‐driven traditional vehicles (TVs) due to addit...

Autonomous Vehicle Mode Shift’s Effect on Traffic Efficiency: A Comparison of Dedicated Lane and Mixed Traffic Approaches

Developing countries, including Indonesia, are characterized by Heterogeneous Disordered Traffic (HDT), making traditional technology adoption models for autonomous vehicles (AVs) unsuitable. To bridge this gap, this study surveyed 204 urban early adopters using a rigorous psycho-statistical framework. Utilizing t-test...

Transport Infrastructure and Urban Mobility: A Data-Driven Evaluation of Bus Layby Impact on Expressway Efficiency

Expressways are designed to facilitate uninterrupted traffic flow; however, localized roadside features such as bus laybys disrupt vehicle dynamics and reduce operational capacity. While classical speed–density models provide theoretical foundations for freeway analysis, localized disturbances are frequently omitted fr...
