A VISSIM based ADAS simulation platform to complement the UKCITE real world connected vehicle test environment
Published in Conference: 25th ITS World Congress. At: Copenhagen, Denmark, 2018
UKCITE, an InnovateUK funded project, provides a test environment on a mix road network in the UK. This paper presents the simulation counterpart of the real world test environment. It uses the VISSIM microscopic traffic simulation environment together with MATLAB, python and C++ to simulate advance driver assistance systems (ADAS). Vehicle specific simulation parameters are tuned based on human factor studies carried out on driver simulator as well as published data. Driver models are implemented using the VISSIM DLL interface to replicate expected drivers responses to ADAS. Within the scope of this project, various driver-warning systems were implemented. This paper focuses on cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) and emergency electronic brake Light (EEBL). Individual vehicle behaviours were evaluated using a model of the Gaydon test track. The impact of these algorithms on the traffic was evaluated using a calibrated model of a portion of the M42 smart motorway.
