Title: Destroying Phantom Jams with Connectivity and Automation: Nonlinear Dynamics and Control of Mixed Traffic
Authors: Tamas G. Molnar, Gábor Orosz
Abstract: Connected automated vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to improve the efficiency of vehicular traffic. In this paper, we discuss how CAVs can positively impact the dynamic behavior of mixed traffic systems on highways through the lens of nonlinear dynamics theory. First, we show that human-driven traffic exhibits a bistability phenomenon, in which ...
