Simulation Scenarios
For the simulations, two different scenarios, an urban scenario in an excerpt of the
city of Frankfurt/Main (Germany) and a highway scenario outside the city, were
selected. The first simulation series were performed with non-V2X-based vehicles
only. Then, the percentage of V2X equipped vehicles was increased.
The urban scenario is located in the city of Frankfurt/Main. Vehicles follow a
predefined route, which becomes congested after a short amount of time. The
reason for the congestion is the high vehicle density (about 900 vehicles per hour)
that causes traffic jam in the vicinity of traffic lights. The implemented V2X
application allows the calculation of circumnavigation routes by the V2X-bases
vehicles as described before. During the simulation, circumnavigation roads might
also become congested. But due to the permanent updates of the road segment
speed weights, following vehicles do not use the road congested in the meantime
and calculate new routes instead. Figure shows the main roads (red lines) and the
most used circumnavigation routes (green lines).
