Connected Autonomous Vehicles: Safety During Merging and Lane Change and Impact on Traffic Flow

Project Summary

• A real time algorithm for calculating safe spacing for lane changes and merging

• Protocol of negotiating the creation of safety spacing in the destination lane

• Execution of the maneuver in time and space in a way that minimizes impact on traffic flow

• Perform microscopic simulation experiments to assess impact on traffic flow and environment
