Raju, Narayana (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), Reddy, N. (author), Dong, Y. (author), Farah, H. (author)Automated driving systems, which can take over certain dynamic driving tasks from the driver, are becoming increasingly available in commercial vehicles. One of these automated driving systems widely introduced in commercial vehicles is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). This system is designed to maintain certain desired driving speeds and time...journal article 2022

(author)Truck platooning is an application of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) which relies on vehicle-to-vehicle communications facilitated by vehicle ad-hoc networks. Communication uncertainties can affect the performance of a CACC controller. Previous research has not considered the full spectrum of possible car-following scenarios needed...conference paper 2021

Calvert, S.C. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)The inclusion of human factors (HF) in mathematical models is proving crucial to allow complex driving behaviour and interactions to be explicitly considered to capture driving phenomena. An important area where such integration is required is for the role of anticipation by drivers to compensate for critical traffic situations. In this paper...journal article 2020

(author)Realistic microscopic traffic simulation is essential for prospective evaluation of the potential impacts of new traffic control strategies. Freeway corridors with interacting bottlenecks and dedicated lanes generate complex traffic flow phenomena and congestion patterns, which are difficult to reproduce with existing microscopic simulation...journal article 2019

(author)Sags are roadway sections along which the gradient increases gradually in the direction of traffic. Sags are generally bottlenecks in freeway networks. Previous research suggests that traffic management measures using advanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems could reduce congestion on freeways, but little is known about their potential...journal article 2019

Calvert, S.C. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author)With automated and cooperative driving making its breakthrough, and related systems in fast development, their future influence and impact on roads and traffic may be extensive. Truck platooning is such an application that relies on the development of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) and is said to be practice ready. While the main...journal article 2019

Xiao, L. (author), Wang, M. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) systems have the potential to increase roadway capacity and mitigate traffic congestion thanks to the short following distance enabled by inter-vehicle communication. However, due to limitations in acceleration and deceleration capabilities of CACC systems, deactivation and switch to ACC or human...journal article 2018

van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), Wang, M. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)It is remarkable that drivers (on average) can safely navigate through dense traffic at high speeds—conditions in which the time headways between vehicles are in the same order of magnitude as human reaction times. One explanation for this is the ability of drivers to anticipate on the traffic conditions in their surroundings. In this paper,...conference paper 2018

Schakel, W.J. (author), Gorter, C.M. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), van Arem, B. (author)With the increasing number of vehicles equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it becomes important to assess its impact on traffic flow efficiency, in particular with respect to capacity and queue discharge rate. Simulation studies and surveys suggest that ACC has both positive and negative effects on traffic flow, but empirical...journal article 2017

Calvert, S.C. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)With low-level vehicle automation already available, there is a necessity to estimate its effects on traffic flow, especially if these could be negative. A long gradual transitionwill occur frommanual driving to automateddriving, inwhichmany yet unknown traffic flow dynamics will be present. These effects have the potential to increasingly...journal article 2017

de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Gorter, C.M. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), van Arem, B. (author)Objective: Adaptive cruise control (ACC), a technology that allows for automated car following, is becoming increasingly prevalent. Previous surveys have shown that drivers generally regard ACC as pleasant but that they have to intervene when the ACC reaches its operational limits. The former research has been mostly concerned with specific car...journal article 2017

Schakel, W.J. (author)With the use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), traffic efficiency may be improved. This thesis presents an advisory system using advice on headway, speed and lane, in order to prevent potential problems 1-2km downstream. Current systems operate on smaller scale (e.g. Adaptive Cruise Control) or larger scale (e.g. route advice). With...doctoral thesis 2015

Schakel, W.J. (author), Van Arem, B. (author), Van Lint, J.W.C. (author)For a recently developed in-car speed, headway and lane use advisory system, this paper investigates empirically advice validity (advice given in correct traffic circumstances), credibility (advice logical to drivers) and frequency. The system has been developed to optimize traffic flow by giving advice on a tactical scale. This scale allows...conference paper 2014

(author)A new advisory ADAS system is implemented in micro simulation to asses the effects on traffic flow as well as on safety.

Schakel, W.J. (author), Van Arem, B. (author)This paper presents an extension of a microscopic freeway driver model for urban traffic. As urban traffic is more complex than freeway traffic, and because scientific models require extensive development, scientific models are often limited to freeways. For urban studies commercial software is often used. Models describing the behaviour in...conference paper 2012
