Development and Field Testing of Platoon Identification and Accommodation System

Stochastic modeling for vehicle platoons (I): Dynamic grouping behavior and online platoon recognition

“…Condition (C1) indicates that vehicle 1 + 1 is the platoon leader of ℙ ( ), where either: (a) the gap between vehicles 1 and 1 + 1 is small but vehicles 1 and 1 + 1 belong to different velocity Before concluding this sub-section, we note that in the existing literature, e.g., Jiang et al (2006) and Chaudhary et al (2006), vehicle platoons are identified solely based on the temporal gaps between vehicles. Clearly this implicitly assumes that vehicles' speeds are homogeneous and it is a special case of equation (1) with = 1.…”

“…For example, Gaur & Mirchandani (2001) investigated a method for real-time recognition of vehicle platoons. Chaudhary et al (2006) developed an intelligent traffic control system for identifying platoons at isolated traffic signals on signalized arterials. Jiang et al (2006) investigated platoon-based traffic signal timing for major-minor intersection types.…”

High-Resolution Field Evaluation of Radar-Based Dilemma Zone Protection System

“…Various dilemma zone protection algorithms have been developed in recent years, including point-detection algorithms such as the D-CS (1, 3, 15), LHOVRA (16), and MOVA (17); the platoon identification algorithm (18); and radar-based detection such as the Wavetronix systems (19). Safety measures found in the literature include the number of vehicles caught in a dilemma zone, the number of yellow and red light violators, and stop-line encroachment (20).…”
