Simulation Framework for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control with Empirical DSRC Module
Wireless communication plays a vital role in the promising performance of
connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology. This paper proposes a
Vissim-based microscopic traffic simulation framework with an analytical
dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) module for packet reception. Being
derived from ns-2, a packet-level network simulator, the DSRC probability
module takes into account the imperfect wireless communication that occurs in
real-world deployment. Four managed lane deployment strategies are evaluated
using the proposed framework. While the average packet reception rate is above
93\% among all tested scenarios, the results reveal that the reliability of the
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication can be influenced by the deployment
strategies. Additionally, the proposed framework exhibits desirable scalability
for traffic simulation and it is able to evaluate transportation-network-level
deployment strategies in the near future for CAV technologies.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure, 44th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial
