Guest Editorial: Modelling, operation and management of traffic mixed with connected and automated vehicles

Abstract

All of the papers selected for this special issue show that the field of modelling, operation and management of traffic mixed with CAVs is steadily moving forward. Nevertheless, from the perspective of future technological development, there remains a source of inspiration for innovation research in the years to come, mainly reflected in three aspects: (1) the dynamic coupling relationship between the cyber and physical network of the transportation system in an intelligent network environment; (2) the driving characteristics of RVs in mixed traffic; and (3) traffic prediction and control at the trip chain level from a macro perspective.
