Abstract

Although Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is a promising technology for Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV), it is urgent to validate its applicability in real traffic situation. To support the validation, simulation plays a key role, but up-to-date simulation platforms are not generic enough in terms of CACC controller type, background traffic condition, road geometry and traffic control scheme. This paper proposes a generic simulation platform for CACC. It is featured by: i) Enabling evaluation of both CACC-controller performance and its impact on the transportation system; ii) Fast simulation speed and large-scale simulation; iii) Enabling simulation for human-machine task switching; iv) Compatibility with any CACC controller and any vehicle dynamics model.
