Abstract

Connected vehicles (CVs) navigate through multiple routing to select the quickest path. In non-possible multi routing at freeway sections, CVs can make a car platoon to increase the gap between non-CVs. In this study, different traffic conditions, volume levels with four different penetration of CVs have been simulated in PTV Vissim on I-26 in South Carolina. A statistical t-test has been conducted to evaluate the impact of CVs on travel time in different traffic conditions. The results show CVs reduce travel time until 75% penetration when there is no accident on a freeway. Although, with an accident on freeway, the increase in CVs reduces the average speed unless all the vehicles are connected.
