Motivation Simulation framework Evaluation Summary
◮ Solve traffic congestion problems ◮ Decrease pollution ◮ Increase safety ◮ Decrease severe injuries/deaths Source: http://www.path.berkeley.edu
◮ Mainly totally automated (e.g., California PATH project) ◮ Recent change of perspective (SARTRE project)

Motivation Simulation framework Evaluation Summary
◮ Network protocols for the management of platoons in mixed
highways
◮ Create, join, merge, split, leave, etc.
◮ Testing environments (simulators)
◮ A simulation framework for platooning
◮ Simulate realistic traffic scenarios ◮ Simulate realistic wireless communications Segata, Dressler, Lo Cigno, Gerla A Simulation Tool for Automated Platooning in Mixed Highway Scenarios 3
Motivation Simulation framework Evaluation Summary
◮ SUMO road traffic simulator ◮ OMNeT++ network simulator
◮ Introduce a new car following model in SUMO
◮ Acts as human or as an automated controller ◮ Implements CC, ACC and CACC
◮ Extend Veins
◮ Access functionalities provided by the new model ◮ e.g., activateACC, setCCSpeed, etc Segata, Dressler, Lo Cigno, Gerla A Simulation Tool for Automated Platooning in Mixed Highway Scenarios 4

Motivation Simulation framework Evaluation Summary
◮ Development of a new simulation framework ◮ Simulate automated plus human driven cars ◮ Evaluate performances of platooning protocols
◮ What is the best way to organize/manage platoons? ◮ How can we deal with the presence of human-driven cars? ◮ Can we really improve throughput/safety and reduce CO2
emissions?
