SPD-HARM + Q-WARN + CACC:
The
Benefits of Bundling
•The three INFLO
applications are closely linked.
•By
deploying them in concert, the effectiveness of each is improved:
•SPD-HARM benefits Q-WARN by slowing and managing
upstream traffic, thus reducing the
risk of secondary collisions
•CACC benefits SPD-HARM by providing a mechanism for
harmonizing traffic flow and
reducing or mitigating acceleration variability
•Q-WARN benefits CACC by providing the platoon sufficient
notification of an impending queue
to effectively manage a response
•The following example illustrates how all three
applications used in conjunction
can help minimize the impact of a freeway incident on traffic flow…
