Microscopic simulation-based testing of internal boundary control of lane-free automated vehicle trafficMicroscopic simulation-based testing of internal boundary control of lane-free automated vehicle traffic Σύντομη Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Short Paper 2024-06-262023enThe TrafficFluid concept allows vehicles to move in a lane-free environment and enables capacity sharing between two directions without lane restrictions. In this context, Internal Boundary Con-trol (IBC) has recently been introduced by the authors and its application has been investigated using macroscopic models. This paper presents a microscopic simulation-based validation of IBC using SUMO TrafficFluid-Sim, i.e. a simulation tool able to implement lane-free traffic. A Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), that is a feedback control scheme, is employed for IBC. An extension of the well-known Cell Transmission Model (CTM) is utilized for the design of the controller. Simulation investigations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme/ ERC Grant Agreement n.
