Summary:This paper proposed a speed harmonization controller for partially connected and automated traffic. It regulated the flow rate of the entire traffic by adjusting only the target cruising speed of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs). The major breakthrough of the proposed controller is that it is able to manage mesoscopic level traffic by controlling microscope level status (desired speed) of a small portion of vehicles. To evaluate the proposed controller, a VISSIM based microscopic simulation evaluation was conducted. Sensitivity analysis was performed for CA V Penetration Rate (PR) and demand level (v/c ratio). Results confirm that the control accuracy of the proposed controller is over 85% across all CA V PRs and demand levels.
