Design of micro-decisions in automated transport

该项目旨在设计用于车辆控制的方法和市场算法，以通过交互式微拍卖、微收费和合作游戏来解决交通拥堵。具体而言，该项目开发和设计激励措施、拍卖以及行为和定价规则，以操纵微观交通动态，如在没有明确车道和共享空间的道路上换道、合并、节能驾驶和在交叉路口驾驶，以实现集体宏观利益。该项目的目标是混合交通，其中自动驾驶汽车和传统的人类驾驶车辆相互作用并共享道路。该项目预计将产生新的交通科学知识，以减少私人汽车对社会、经济和环境的影响。

This project aims to design methods and market algorithms for vehicle control to tackle traffic congestion with interactive micro-auctions, micro-tolling and cooperative games. Specifically, this project develops and designs incentives, auctions and behavioural and pricing rules to manipulate micro traffic dynamics such as lane-changing, merging, energy-efficient driving, and driving at intersections, in roads without defined lanes and shared spaces to achieve collective macro benefits. The project targets mixed traffic where AVs and conventional human-driven vehicles interact and share the road. The project expects to generate new knowledge of transport science to lessen social, economic and environmental impacts of private cars.
