“…Following the previous literature about ACC and CACC designs [9,18,19] and the algorithms from [14], the timegap setting of the CACC is set to 0.5 s if following a CACC vehicle. In other words, when both vehicles are CACC equipped, their time gap setting is set to 0.5 s where both vehicles are connected via wireless communication.…”

Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) vehicles are intelligent vehicles that use vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) to share traffic information in real time. Previous studies have shown that CACC could have an impact on increasing highway capacities at high market penetration. Since reaching a high CACC market penetration level is not occurring in the near future, this study presents a progressive deployment approach that demonstrates to have a great potential of reducing traffic congestions at low CACC penetration levels. Using a previously developed microscopic traffic simulation model of a freeway with an on-ramp -created to induce perturbations and trigger stop-and-go traffic, the CACC system s effect on the traffic performance is studied. The results show significance and indicate the potential of CACC systems to improve traffic characteristics which can be used to reduce traffic congestion. The study shows that the impact of CACC is positive and not only limited to a high market penetration. By giving CACC vehicles priority access to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, the highway capacity could be significantly improved with a CACC penetration as low as 20%.

“…The paper in [5] studied an improvement of traffic flow by utilizing vehicular communications for CACC. The proposed CACC utilized communication technology as well as position systems to enhance the overall performance of the application by reducing an impact of a traffic shock wave on the flow of traffic; upcoming vehicles make a chain of severe brakes due to sudden brakes made by vehicles in front.…”

Abstract-Environmental problems, such as pollutions, become more intensive every year. One of the major causes is a higher fuel consumption and CO 2 emission. In year 2009, 23 percent of CO 2 emission globally comes from land transportation systems, which is equal to 7,000 million tons of CO 2 . This large amount of pollution gas must be reduced to slow down global environmental problems. Reduction of fuel consumption and CO 2 emission in land transportation systems, which will have immediate positive economical and environmental impacts, has become an important part of green technology to alleviate global warming due to human activities. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which aims at applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the transportation systems, has offered unique opportunities for the green ITS. This article aims to provide a survey of the latest published applications as well as the envisaged technical challenges in this research area.Index Terms-Green technology, traffic light-to-vehicle communication, TLVC, fuel consumption, CO 2 emission, intelligent transportation system, Green ITS, vehicular communications I. INTRODUCTION VIRONMENTAL problems become a serious concern for the mankind. Huge amount of pollution is released every year due to the growth of world economics, resulting in the global warming problem. There are several attempts to alleviate the global warming, such as uses of alternative natural energy; solar, wind, and water energy. However, the investment of natural energy production is very high and gives low return rate for industries. As a result, this approach is not yet achieved.According to statistics, more than 30,000 million tons of CO 2 is emitted each year [1]. As shown in Fig. 1a, North America is the number one continent of fuel consumption and C.

“…Applications of inter-vehicle communication make it possible to adapt longitudinal control to the traffic in front and allow anticipating early braking manoeuvre when an invisible vehicle in front is braking. Such functions have been studied in research projects such as CarTALK 2000 project (de Bruin et al, 2004). Inter-vehicle communication can also be used to achieve platooning where vehicles follow each other with short spacing, as demonstrated in Demo 1997 (Ozguner et al, 1997), Demo 2000 (Tsugawa et al, 2001) and CHAUFFEUR project (Bonnet and Fritz, 2000).…”
