Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provide the most intriguing opportunity to reduce pollution, energy consumption, travel delays. In this letter, we address problem of vehicle platoon formation in a traffic network with partial CAV penetration rates. We investigate interaction between human-driven (HDV) dynamics, rigorous control framework that enables HDVs by only controlling CAVs within...

Traffic congestion has large economic and social costs. The introduction of autonomous vehicles can potentially reduce this by increasing road capacity via vehicle platooning creating an avenue for influencing people's choice routes. We consider a network parallel roads with two modes transportation: 1) human drivers, who will choose the quickest route available to them, 2) ride hailing service...

Traffic safety is arguably the most important traffic metric from a human perspective. Still, many millions of people are killed on roads every year. In this paper, concept Herd Immunity for Safety (HITS) presented first time. This focuses identifying and describing increased level that achieved when Connected Automated Vehicles (CAV) Human Driven (HDV) co-exist in mixed traffic. The underlying...
