Abstract
The primary objective of this paper is to improve the traffic mobility and stability by connected cruise control (CCC) system design. An extension of Newell's car-following model with consideration of CCC is developed. The dynamics of the proposed CCC car-following model is then analyzed, and an example of connectivity structure in heterogeneous platoons comprised of CCC and non-CCC vehicles is considered. The result reveals that with appropriately designed model parameters, connected cruise control can improve the string stability of traffic on one hand. On the other hand, the introduction of CCC vehicles makes travelling safer and more comfortable.
