Variable speed limit: A microscopic analysis in a connected vehicle environment
Abstract
This paper develops a new VSL control algorithm in a CV environment. Multi-criteria optimization is adopted to optimize for mobility, safety and sustainability. In case of 100% CV, the new VSL approach outperformed the uncontrolled scenario consistently. In case of 100% CV, optimum improvements were obtained when optimizing for safety alone. In case of lower % CV, multi-criteria optimization is crucial to realize optimum and balanced benefits.
