Abstract

The future brings Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), where platooning with small inter-vehicle time gaps is possible. However, before the situation that the entire car park exists of CAVs, there is a transition period. This MSc. thesis has developed two strategies (in MOTUS), to let CAVs actively form platoons with dynamic dedicated lane sections (DDLSs). This means that the lane sections temporarily become dedicated to CAVs only under certain traffic density conditions.
