Session Description
This session will investigate potential benefits from different cooperative automation technologies in managing signalized intersections, focusing on both research activities and deployment efforts. The goal is to find the roles of both infrastructure and vehicles in sensing, communication, and control strategies and how they can cooperate toward safer and more efficient intersection operations. There are mainly three focus areas: i) Intelligent traffic control system utilizing crowd-sourced traffic data (e.g., connected vehicles, ride hailing vehicles); ii) Vehicle automation that actively responses to and cooperates with traffic control via connectivity; iii) Joint control of vehicle trajectories and transportation infrastructure.
Goals/Objectives/Outputs
Research projects in this area will be presented to explore a better understanding of the current issues and future needs regarding sensing, data collection, communication, and control. Presentations will seek insights from both theoretical methodologies and practical implementations. Specific goals and expected outputs include:
- Smart intersection data collection and management with advanced sensors (e.g., radar, Lidar, camera) for both safety and mobility applications
- Multi-model traffic management including vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs)
- Experiences and lessons learned from existing research and deployment projects
