A Comprehensive Control Concept for Merging of Automated Vehicles Under a Broad Class of Traffic Conditions

The paper presents basic theoretical ideas and simulation results of a new and comprehensive control concept for the automatic merging of two streams (A and B) of automated surface vehicles. Extending previous work in this field this concept can cope with vehicles entering a merge-control region (.5...

Summary:The paper presents basic theoretical ideas and simulation results of a new and comprehensive control concept for the automatic merging of two streams (A and B) of automated surface vehicles. Extending previous work in this field this concept can cope with vehicles entering a merge-control region (.5km in length) with arbitrary differing entering velocities 0<v(tE)≤30m/s in both lanes and at arbitrary instants of time tE.
