Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the recent emerging technologies, including the Internet of things (IOT), vehicle to everything (V2X), artificial intelligence (AI) and distributed computing, the transportation system has been enabled to perceive and manage diversified travel demand in individual-level resolution. Based on the trajectory records of individual trips, various operation and control issues in different domains, such as intersection signal control, transportation scheduling, vehicle movement planning, and bus dispatching, can be dealt with increasing amounts of information and more advanced optimization methods. The emerging technologies have promoted the development of conventional control and optimization theories in the existing literature and the practical applicability of related works in the real world.

Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to welcome original research and surveys with a focus on intelligent traffic control and optimization theories and applications, based on advanced technologies. It also aims to promote the exchanges and interactions between investigators across different fields. We invite high quality, original research articles, as well as review articles.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Transport infrastructure layout and design for IOT applications;
  2. Transportation cyber-physical systems modeling;
  3. Traffic information detection and fusion based on vehicle-to-infrastructure sensing;
  4. Intelligent traffic signal control and cooperative intersections;
  5. Advanced control technology for connected and automated vehicles (CV/AVs);
  6. Cooperative control of signal intersections and CV/AVs with V2X communications;
  7. Traffic flow optimization in the mix of human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and CV/Avs;
  8. Integration and cooperative optimization of multimodal transportation systems;
  9. Traffic system simulation under V2X communication environment.

The development of vehicle electrification and intelligent network technologies has led to a new type of mixed and power-heterogeneous traffic flow, comprised of regular vehicles (RVs) and connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), fuel vehicles (FVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). To reduce the energy consumption of mixed and power-heterogeneous traffic flow operating at a signalized intersection, the Ecological Control Unit–Cooperative Adaptive Control (ECU-CACC) is proposed in this paper. The vehicle platoon is divided into units which are named minimum ecological control units (min-ECUs). A bi-level control framework is designed to improve traffic efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The lower-level aims to plan the best ecological trajectory for every min-ECU, and the upper-level optimizes the passing strategies for efficiency through speed coordination. Scenario numerical experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the bi-level optimal control model and analyze the energy-saving effect of ECU-CACC under different vehicle mixing situations. The results from the experiment prove the excellent energy-saving potential of the proposed ECU-CACC, which helps the min-ECUs save about 10–20% energy consumption compared with a regular pattern.

At present, the total length of accident blackspot accounts for 0.25% of the total length of the road network, while the total number of accidents that occurred at accident black spots accounts for 25% of the total number of accidents on the road network. This paper describes a traffic accident black spot recognition model based on the adaptive kernel density estimation method combined with the road risk index. Using the traffic accident data of national and provincial trunk lines in Shanghai and ArcGIS software, the recognition results of black spots were compared with the recognition results of the accident frequency method and the kernel density estimation method, and the clustering degree of recognition results of adaptive kernel density estimation method were analyzed. The results show that: the accident prediction accuracy index values of the accident frequency method, kernel density estimation method, and traffic accident black spot recognition model were 14.39, 16.36, and 18.25, respectively, and the lengths of the traffic accident black spot sections were 184.68, 162.45, and 145.57, respectively, which means that the accident black spot section determined by the accident black spot recognition model was the shortest and the number of traffic accidents identified was the largest. Considering the safety improvement budget of 20% of the road length, the adaptive kernel density estimation method could identify about 69% of the traffic accidents, which was 1.13 times and 1.27 times that of the kernel density estimation method and the accident frequency method, respectively.
