Abstract Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) hold great potential to improve traffic
efficiency, emissions and safety in freeway on-ramp bottlenecks through coordination …

Ramp merging is considered as one of the major causes of traffic congestion and accidents
because of its chaotic nature. With the development of connected and automated vehicle …

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 …

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 …

Merging sections on highways are identified as traffic bottlenecks, leading to congestion and
