Effect of Adaptive Cruise Control on Mixed Traffic Flow: A Comparison of Constant Time Gap Policy with Variable Time Gap Policy by Jiakuan Dong, Jiangfeng Wang, Lei Chen, Zhijun Gao, Dongyu Luo

“…Meanwhile, the scatter of mixed traffic flow with VTG policy in the flow-density diagram gradually clusters in the middle range of density (i.e., 20–40 veh/km) with the increase of the penetration rates of ACC vehicles, where the traffic flow operates more efficiently. These results indicate that VTG policy is better than CTG policy when designing controllers for ACC in the context of traffic flow operation and control.…”
