A steady of an autonomous cruising traffic flow simulator including communication network

摘要

This report describes an autonomous traffic flow simulator including inter-vehicle and road-to-vehicle communications. First, autonomously running vehicles' traffic flow is modeled in detail, and modeling of the assumed driving assistance system, inter-vehicle communications and road-to-vehicle communications is carried out. Second, based on such modeling, a microscopic traffic flow simulator is constructed, and performance evaluation methods are mentioned. Last, as examples of performance evaluations, the effects of shadowing in inter-vehicle communications and road-to-vehicle communications are examined.
