Description:

The Saxton Laboratory is supplementing the Office of Operations R&D’s connected automation research program, which includes an initial focus on applications that use longitudinal control, with active driver engagement and advisory information, to improve transportation operations. The Saxton Laboratory develops, assesses, and tests advanced concepts using experimental vehicles at test tracks and, in some cases, on operating roadways. Recent projects include cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), speed harmonization, cooperative lane change and merge, as well as Eco-Approach and departure from signalized intersections. Further research is needed to understand how lateral control could enable cooperative lane changes and merging, achieve better lane balancing in congested traffic, and allow significantly narrower lanes and other geometric changes to increase efficiencies in building and operating roadways.
