Lunch & Learn: Lane-based dynamic traffic control using connected vehicles
Urban motorways and ring roads often experience recurrent congestion. Existing traffic control measures used to reduce the problems include variable speed limits, ramp control, and lane closures. Connected vehicles and digital regulations can enable more dynamic traffic control. In this Lunch & Learn webinar we present and discuss a recent pre-study on this topic.
In order to explore the possibility of taking advantage of connected vehicles for more efficient traffic management, a pre-study has recently been conducted by VTI and Lindholmen Science Park in collaboration with Trafikverket, Volvo Cars, and Göteborgs Stad.
The goal of the pre-study was to identify promising traffic control strategies for more detailed analysis. This was investigated through a literature review and through two workshops with stakeholders, one focusing on goals and possible solutions and one focusing on advantages and disadvantages for two selected application cases.
