Merging activities at freeway merging areas can cause significant recurrent and non‐
recurrent bottleneck congestion due to vehicles' mandatory lateral conflicts. The Connected …

On-ramp merging areas are deemed to be typical bottlenecks for freeway networks due to
the intensive disturbances induced by the frequent merging, weaving, and lane-changing …

Merging areas on freeways are primary locations for bottlenecks due to vehicles' mandatory
lateral conflicts. These critical conflicts, however, are potentially avoidable with Connected …

This study provides an automated cooperative control method in multilane freeway merging
areas within the connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology. First, a lane-change …

University of Massachusetts, Lowell nder connected vehicle environment, vehicles are able

Frequent merging, overtaking, and lane-changing behaviors at freeway on-ramp areas
usually cause traffic bottlenecks with low efficiency and significant safety concerns …

This paper proposes a hierarchical model for cooperative on-ramp merging control
(CORMC) in mixed traffic with both connected automated vehicles (CAVs) and connected …

Freeway on-ramps are typical bottlenecks in the freeway network due to the frequent
disturbances caused by their associated merging, weaving, and lane-changing behaviors …

The on-ramp merging on expressway is one of the hotspots of research, which usually leads
to reduced traffic efficiency, increased risk of collision, and increased fuel consumption …

Connected Automated Vehicles (CAVs) have the potential to improve traffic operations when
they cooperatively maneuver in merging sections. State-of-the-art approaches in …
