Cooperative Control for Lane Change Maneuvers with Connected Automated Vehicles: A Field Experiment

Connected automation systems coordinate vehicle communications and automated vehicle control to improve transportation system mobility, safety, and sustainability. While most research of field experiments to date has focused on automated vehicle control in simple highway driving scenarios, such as Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), real-world deployment of CACC and related traffic management technologies will require automation of all traffic movements, including lane change and merge maneuvers, to fully realize potential system benefits. This paper describes an effort in developing an innovative vehicle control platform and algorithm to successfully conduct a field experiment of a cooperative lane change maneuver, executed using automated speed control, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, and vehicle-based radar systems. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed platform and algorithm, and also raise research questions to be addressed in the future.
