Dyna-Style Learning with A Macroscopic Model for Vehicle Platooning in Mixed-Autonomy Traffic

arXiv:2405.02062v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Platooning of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) plays a vital role in modernizing highways, ushering in enhanced efficiency and safety. This paper explores the significance of platooning in smart highways, employing a coupled partial differential equation (PDE) and ordinary differential equation (ODE) model to elucidate the complex interaction between bulk traffic flow and CAV platoons. Our study focuses on developing a Dyna-style planning and learning framework tailored for platoon control, with a specific goal of …
