摘要：Connected Vehicle (CV) systems are expected to enhancea wide rangeof safety, mobility and environmental aspects to highway traffic.A critical research need lies in clarifyingthe cause-and-effect mechanism between the CV information and driver behaviors and subsequent adaptive resiliency of improvement in operation, safety, and emissions reductions. A novel approach is hence created via developing the simulation-based tool,Synthetic Adaptive V2X Effect (SAVE) Estimator, toexplore the interactionsbetween the CV system and transportation performance. This presentation will introduce the speaker’s current research on identifying factors contributing to the CV adaptive effect on traffic operation, safety, and environment. The framework and associated modeling methodology for the development of theSAVE Estimatorwill be detailed with a proof-of-concept study of the CV adaptive resilience at a realistic freeway connecting with two ramps. TheSAVE Estimatoris planned to be integrated in the future into the Geographical Information System (GIS)-based Air Impact Relating Scenario-based Urban Settings and Transportation Assets In Network” (AIR-SUSTAIN) system, which is being developed via a grant funded by US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), an integrated transportation conformity analysis tool.
