TransAID Deliverable 6.2 - Assessment of Traffic Management Procedures in Transition Areas

Kurzfassung

This Deliverable 6.2 of the TransAID project presents and evaluates the simulation results obtained for the scenarios considered during the project's first iteration. To this end, driver- and AV-models designed in WP3, traffic management procedures developed in WP4, and V2X communication protocols and models from WP5 were implemented within the iTETRIS simulation framework. Previous main results from Deliverable 4.2, where baseline and traffic management measures without V2X communication were compared, have been confirmed. While not all scenarios' traffic KPIs were affected, the realistic simulation of V2X communication has shown a discernible impact on some of the TransAID traffic scenarios, which makes it an indispensable modelling aspect for a realistic performance evaluation of V2X traffic scenarios. Flaws of the proposed traffic management algorithms concerning wireless V2X communication and the accompanying possibility of packet loss have been identified and will be addressed during the project's second iteration. Finally, lessons learned while working on these simulation results and assessments have additionally been described in the form of recommendations for the real-world prototype to be developed in WP7.
