| description | Although automated vehicles could release drivers from the driving task, there are still passengers sitting in the vehicle. It is required that the driving comfort of passengers should be guaranteed. Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) vehicle is of the one important type of automated vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications with various communication links. Different V2V communication links might have different driving comfort. Then, this paper focuses on exploring which link type for CACC vehicles is better from the perspective of improving driving comfort. To deal with this, car-following models of manual-driven vehicles (MDV) and CACC vehicles were first described. Then, simulations were performed using these car-following models, in which various CACC feedback link types, CACC penetration rates, and flow scenarios were taken into consideration. Simulations outputted microcosmic trajectory data of vehicles, based on which the driving comfort was evaluated using the comfort index described by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 2631-1. From the driving comfort perspective, simulation results suggest that CACC should monitor the immediately preceding vehicle and the third vehicle ahead when CACC penetration rates are less than approximately 50%. Additionally, if CACC penetration rates exceed 50%, the better choice is that CACC receives feedback links from two immediately successive vehicles ahead. |
