Connected automated vehicle control in single lane roundabouts

Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 131, 103308.

By: R. Mohebifard n  & A. Hajbabaie n 

author keywords: Roundabout; Connected and automated vehicles; Trajectory; Convexification; Optimization; Alternating direction method of multipliers; Model predictive
TL;DR: An optimization problem that includes vehicle dynamics and collision-avoidance constraints with explicit representation of vehicle paths is formulated and it is shown that iterating between the two sub-problems leads to convergence to the optimal solutions of the convexified problem.

Effects of Connectivity and Traffic Observability on an Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2675(10), 800–814.

By: S. Islam  n, M. Tajalli n, R. Mohebifard n  & A. Hajbabaie n 

TL;DR: The results showed that a 40% CV market share was required for the adaptive signal controller using only CV data to outperform signal control with only loop detector data, and integrating 10% of CV data with loop detectors data in the adaptive sign control improved traffic performance and travel time reliability.
