Abstract

Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) is an in-car system that automatically maintains a specified speed, taking into account a minimal distance with respect to predecessors. This paper presents the results of a simulation study on the effects of a special lane for ICC vehicles on traffic flow on motorways. The microscopic traffic simulation model MIXIC was used to evaluate the traffic performance and traffic safety. Simulation results demonstrate that the introduction of a dedicated lane for ICC vehicles in the situation of lane drops can improve the traffic flow stability and the traffic throughput.
