Abstract

The connected vehicle technology is a remarkable trend in the field of the intelligent transportation system. Since the actual deployment of the connected vehicle system is still lacking hitherto, simulation is widely adopted as the major method of verification in related researches. Although traditional commercial traffic simulation systems perform well in macroscopic simulations, they seem redundant in the circumstance of small-size traffic. In addition, those systems are unable to simulate the communication between vehicles and road-side infrastructures. This study designs a platform for the simulation of intersection traffic control using connected vehicle technology. By providing an abundance of customizable parameters, the platform can simulate at various levels of speed to meet different requirements, serving as a basis for testing further research.
