Development of a Real-Time Mobility Control and Visualization System with Predictive Vehicle Speed Control for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs)
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory is developing a cloud-based platform for the deployment and evaluation of mobility- and efficiency-oriented connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) applications that will include fundamental data management, communications and visualization elements. This system will serve as a data portal, providing indirect communications that are relevant to efficiency applications, and can be used for both real world CAVs deployments and virtual systems that allow evaluation of new CAVs applications and algorithms. Predictive vehicle speed control algorithms have been developed and will be integrated with the real-time queryable transportation database and geospatial platform to achieve optimized energy efficiency and improved traffic flow in off-freeway driving. This paper describes the technology and summarizes evaluations being conducted for a corridor in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the technology is expected to be initially deployed. To evaluate the fuel savings resulting from the vehicle speed control and the RTMCS data framework, vehicle powertrain simulations will be completed using results from a calibrated microscopic traffic model.
