A Hierarchical Approach to Optimal Flow-Based Routing and Coordination of Connected and Automated Vehicles

Understand

This paper addresses the challenge of generating optimal vehicle flow at the macroscopic level.

• Although several studies have focused on optimizing vehicle flow, little attention has been given to ensuring it can be practically achieved.
• To overcome this issue, we propose a route-recovery and eco-driving strategy for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) that guarantees optimal flow generation.
• Our approach involves identifying the optimal vehicle flow that minimizes total travel time, given the constant travel demands in urban areas.
