Abstract

This paper proposes the preview speed control for suppression of the shockwave propagation to prevent traffic congestion with communication systems which transmit the speed or the acceleration information from the downstream vehicle or infrastructure to upstream vehicles. The simulation studies indicate the improvement of the traffic flow by the proposed system even under a condition of a low penetration rate of the communication systems.
