Abstract:
Connected vehicles can exchange information with each other by communicating via a network, enabling them to detect vehicles in their blind spots which cannot be seen by a vehicle alone, thereby contributing to traffic efficiency and safety. Since it will take time for such vehicles to become prevalent on roads, connected and non-connected vehicles will share the road in the future. We have developed a method that enables connected vehicles to share information gathered by their sensors on surrounding vehicles near an intersection. Simulation experiments were used to consider safety and evaluate changes in efficiency as the connected vehicle penetration rate increased. We found that safety can be ensured by adjusting the Time-To-Collision parameter dynamically, and that efficiency for an intersection with average traffic volume was improved compared with using conventional methods.
