CACC: Current Research
39
Findings:
•CACC simulations achieved significant reduction in travel delays and improvement in flow
•Drivers of the CACC system selected vehicle-following gaps that were half the length of the gaps they selected when driving the ACC system
•This result has favorable implications for adoption and use of CACC to improve highway capacity and traffic flow

Experiment highlights:
•Experiment tested 16 naïve drivers’ performance and choice-making in ACC and CACC environments
•Subjects adjusted following time gap settings according to preference in different traffic conditions
