Abstract

The technologies and models linking individual vehicle control and network operations, despite their critical role in determining whether automated vehicle (AV) technologies can eventually evolve to massive real-world deployments, seem to be an under-represented topic at the Automated Vehicles Symposium (AVS) in the past years. This chapter documents lecture notes of the first AVS breakout session on network modeling, which discusses the latest developments in network AV operations, modeling and simulation from academia, government, and industry perspectives. Specifically, the consensus reached in an attempt to answer questions on how to manage AV fleets in a networked environment, and control mixed traffic to optimally utilize network capacity and challenges ahead, as well as directions for research, practice and policy making are summarized.
