TransAID Deliverable 3.2: Cooperative maneuvring in the presence of hierarchical traffic management (2nd iteration)

Kurzfassung

This present document is Deliverable D3.2 entitled "Cooperative manoeuvring in the presence of hierarchical traffic management", which was prepared in the context of the WP3 framework of the TransAID project. The scope of this document encompasses the modelling and simulation of cooperative manoeuvring in the context of the microscopic traffic simulation activities conducted within TransAID. Initially, the state of the art in the domain of cooperative manoeuvring is provided and then two different cooperative manoeuvring frameworks are introduced. The first one is a decentralized framework where cooperative manoeuvring is solely based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, while the second one is a centralized framework that utilizes vehicle-toanything (V2X) communications. A work zone scenario is used to elaborate on the operation of the centralized approach. The logic for simulating the decentralized approach in the microscopic traffic simulator SUMO is subsequently introduced along with the corresponding functionalities that were developed within SUMO for this purpose. Cooperative manoeuvring is coupled with hierarchical traffic management by explaining how the decentralized approach can be integrated in the traffic management plans that were developed for each use case examined in the context of TransAID. Cooperative manoeuvring is coupled with traffic separation in SUMO and a timeline of cooperative manoeuvring actions in the simulation is presented. Coupling with communications is also addressed. Moreover, adaptations to the driver-vehicle models encompassing communication requirements are proposed to enable integration in iTETRIS. Finally, recommendations for finetuning of driver-vehicle models in simulation are provided based on the findings of the real-world prototype experiments.
