Consensus Phenomenon and Characteristics of Vehicle Cooperative Driving
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering, Part A: Systems
Volume 146, Issue 7
Abstract
The consensus degree among vehicles is an important index to measure the cooperative driving system. First, this paper establishes a measurement method of the instantaneous consensus of an individual vehicle to evaluate the consensus degree. On this basis, the consensus degree index of the cooperative driving system on the road section is constructed; thus, a quantitative description method for the consensus of vehicle cooperative driving is formed. The simulation experiment explores the consensus phenomenon and characteristics of the vehicle cooperative driving system by means of the classic vehicle cooperative driving model. The results show that the consensus index of the vehicle cooperative driving system proposed in this paper is effective and can better describe the consensus phenomenon in traffic.
