Description

Connected and autonomous vehicles are a particularly important part of future smart road networks. The purpose of this diploma thesis is to investigate the influence of the integration of connected and autonomous vehicles into traffic on urban road networks. For this reason, a microscopic simulation of sixteen scenarios of future traffic on the road network of the Athens was carried out, which differ in the rate of penetration of such vehicles into traffic. The SUMO microscopic simulation software was used for the simulation. Findings reveal that the integration of connected vehicles into traffic improves traffic conditions at any rate of their penetration into traffic. The integration of autonomous vehicles does not lead to any significant improvement in traffic, while in large percentages of their penetration into traffic, these vehicles tend to deregulate the network.
