16. ABSTRACT
As part of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) development, a significant number of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV) applications are now being designed to improve a variety of transportation-related Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs). Safety, mobility and environmental sustainability typically represent the three cornerstones when evaluating the effectiveness of a CAV application system. These key MOEs can be evaluated through various performance indicators, many that are described in the literature. Most CAV applications are typically developed with the major goal of improving one of these key elements. As examples: 1) crash avoidance systems on vehicles are being developed specifically for improving safety; 2) adaptive signal control systems are being put into place to improve mobility; and 3) ecoapproach and departure systems at signalized intersections are now being contemplated to reduce vehicle energy and emissions. To date, very few studies on CAV applications have been conducted that provide a holistic assessment of all three of these MOE elements. Many CAV applications may have co-benefits in the sense that they can improve a combination of safety, mobility and environmental sustainability. On the other hand, some CAV applications may actually have tradeoffs between these elements.

WiththeproliferationofCAVapplications, theU.S.Departmentof Transportation, alongwith supportfrombothpublicandprivatesectors, hasdevelopeda ConnectedVehicle Reference ImplementationArchitecture (CVRIA, see[Iteris, 2015]), whichcategorizesanddescribesthe foundationofmanyCAV-basedapplications.In addition, EuropehasalsobeenfundingCAV-relatedprojectsaspartoftheirSeventhFrameworkProgramme[EuropeanCommission, 2016]. Theseprojectstackleanumberoftrafficimprovements, includingsafety, mobility enhancement, minimizationofenvironmentalimpacts, energyefficiency, security, andpublic health.InAsia, manyresearchersarealsodevelopingCAV-basedITSapplications.Forexample, JapanisactivelysettingupaRobotTaxisystemtooperatedriverlesscarsandanonlineservice totransportpassengerstostadiumsfortheOlympicsofthefuture[Futurism, 2016].
TobetterunderstandtheimpactsofemergingCAVapplicationsinasystematicway, wehave carriedoutacomprehensiveliteraturereviewovermanyCAVapplicationsthatmaybebroadly classifiedintothreemajorcategories, dependingonthetypeoffocusedobjectsthathavebeen involvedintheapplication’sdevelopinganddeployingprocess.Thesecategoriesinclude:
Vehicle-centric: Vehicle-centricapplicationsrefertoCAVapplicationsthatbenefitthe vehicleitself(i.e., ego-vehicle)and/ortheentiretransportationsystem, usingadvanced sensorsandcommunicationstechnologies.TheseCAVapplicationsaretypicallydesignedto adjustavehicle’sendogenousoperationalparameters(e.g., powertrainandvehicle dynamics), basedonsensingoftheenvironmentandcommunicatingwithothervehicles.

However, veryfewresearcheffortsexaminea comprehensive set ofMOEssimultaneously. Further, thereareonlyafewprojectsthatactuallyfine-tunetheirsystemparametersinorder toachieveawiderangeofco-benefitsacrossdifferenttypesofmeasuresofeffectiveness (MOEs).
TogetfurtherinsightintotheimpactsofemergingCAVapplicationsinasystematicway, we haveestablishedanevaluationframeworkanddevelopedaperformance-orientedtaxonomy basedonthekeymeasuresofeffectiveness.Inthiswhitepaper, wepresenttheframework alongwithapossibleparametertuningstrategy.Thisisfollowedbyadetailedanalysisonthe potentialco-benefitsofsometypicalCAVapplications.ThreespecificexampleCAVapplications arethenanalyzedindetail:HighSpeedDifferentialWarning(vehicle-centricsafety-focused), LaneSpeedMonitoring(vehicle-centricmobility-focused)andEco-Speed Harmonization (infrastructure-centricenvironmentalimpacts-oriented).Foreachoftheseexamples, we describetheexistingtradeoffsandco-benefitsofdifferenttypesofMOEs.Thelastsectionof thiswhitepaperprovidesconclusionsandhighlightsfuture researchdirections.

Parameter Tuning Strategies Asseenintheliteraturedescribedabove, a numberoftraffic-relatednetwork-wideparameters can haveanimpactonperformanceofvariousCAVapplications.Somesystemparameters are not readilycontrollable; forexample, thepenetrationrateofCAVapplication-equipped vehicles andtrafficvolume.However, other system-wideparameters existthatarecontrollable, for example vehicledynamics-related parameters(e.g., car-followingparameters), infrastructure-related (e.g., rampmetertiming), andpowertrain-relatedparameters (e.g., gearselection).To be more specific, vehicledynamics-relatedparametersincludetrajectoryplanningandother vehiclemaneuvers;Infrastructure-relatedparametersconsistofsignalphaseandtimingsuchas thered/greentimeratio;Powertrain-relatedparameterscompriseregenerativebrakingand A/Cpowerusage.
Ratherthansetthecontrollableparametersatfixedvalues, itispossibleto“tune”an applicationwithdifferentbenefitsintermsofsafety, mobilityandenvironmentalimpacts.The ultimategoaloffutureCAVapplicationsistoachieveperformanceimprovement across all aspectsofsafety, mobilityand environment/energy.Bytuning thecontrollable system-wide parametersofasingleapplication, positivesynergisticeffects may be achieved, intermsof improvementofallMOEs(seeFigure 4).

Specific Case Studies Tocompleteour study, we selected three CAV applications thatwere recently intheliterature foramorein-depthanalysis.TheCAVapplicationsinclude HighSpeed DifferentialWarning (HSDW, vehicle-centric), LaneSpeedMonitoring (LSM, vehicle-centric), andEco-Speed Harmonization(ESH, infrastructure-centric).Intheseapplications, itisassumedthat information(suchasinstantaneousspeedandlocation)canbeobtainedviaV2V communicationintheform ofBasicSafetyMessages(BSM)[Kenney, 2011].Byexchangingsuch informationwithin aspecific communicationrange, the vehicle-centricHSDWapplication can identifydifferentscenarioswherehigh-speeddifferentialsexistbetweenthe ego or host vehicleand thesurrounding remotevehiclesonthecurrentlaneoradjacentlanes. The application canthen providethedriverwithguidanceondecelerationoperation, aimingto reducetheriskofcollision throughtimelydeceleration [Lietal., 2016].
TheLSMapplicationwasmainlydesignedtoachievemobilitybenefitsintermsofaverage speed(oraveragetriptraveltime)bymonitoring real-timelane-leveltrafficstateinthe downstreamandadvisingthedriverthefasterlanetotravelin.TheLSMapplicationbelongsto themobility-focusedvehicle-centricapplicationcategory, however, safetyandenvironmental impactswerenottakenintoconsiderationwhenthisapplicationwasinitiallydesigned. Weset upa simulation oftheoperation, suchthat thedriver-vehicle-unitsequippedwiththeLSM functionwouldchoosetochangeto a target (moreadvantageous) laneafterestimatingand comparingthedownstreamtrafficstate.This lane-change advice often leads tomorefrequent

TheESHapplicationbelongs in theinfrastructure-centricapplicationcategoryandwasprimarily designedtoreducefuelconsumptiontoprotecttheenvironment.Aspeedharmonization schemewasusedtosmooththespeedsofvehiclesequippedwiththeESHfunction.Inthe simulation, thedriver-vehicle-unitswiththeESHfunctionwereadvised totravelata proper velocity, helping regulatetrafficflowbasedon downstream trafficconditions.Thepurposeof thespeedharmonizationstrategyistoreduceunnecessarystop-and-gobehaviorandto encouragesmoothdrivingatenergy-efficientspeedsfor the entiretrafficflow. Sincehard brakingbehavior is weakenedbytheESHapplication, thepotentialconflictriskswereexpected tobemitigatedaswell, whichisviewedasaco-benefitbetweenenvironmentalimpactsand safety.Formoredetailsofthethree applicationsplease referto[Lietal., 2016]; [Tianetal., 2016]; and [Wuetal., 2015].
Performance Indicators
Inthissection, weexaminethesethree applications in detail, illustrating thetradeoffsandco-benefitsofseveralmajorMOEs, i.e., safety, mobilityandenvironmentalsustainability.Three performanceindicatorswereusedtorepresentthesethreeMOEs.Forsafety, weconsider averageconflictnumber (theprobabilityofacrash).Formobility, weuseaveragetraveltime. Andforenvironmentalimpacts, we use averagefuelconsumption.Theperformancemeasure results(averagespeed, traveltime, andaveragefuelconsumption) are generatedfromthe microscopictrafficsimulationsoftwarePARAMICS, whichwasdevelopedtomodelthe individualvehiclesdynamics behavior, andtoconnectcontrolschemesandon-roadusers throughanApplicationProgrammingInterface(API)[Paramics, 2015]. AParamics APIcalculates theaggregatedtraveltimeresults, vehicle-miles-travelledandvehicle-hours-travelled.The United States Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA) MOVESmodel(USEPA, 2015)was embeddedintheAPIandthetailpipeemissionswerecalculated inthe APIaswell.Asfor the conflictnumbercalculation, PARAMICSproducesamassivevehicletrajectoryfile, which isthen usedasinputinto theSurrogateSafetyAssessmentModel(SSAM).SSAMthen postprocesses thedataandgeneratesa potentialconflictnumber associatedwithvehicleIDs[Federal Highway Administration, 2015].

Conclusions and Future Work This whitepaperprovidesanin-depthliteraturereview onCAVapplicationsrelatedresearch, analyzing thepotentialtradeoffsandco-benefitsofthreekeyMOEsamongvariousCAV applicationsindetail.Abroadthree-levelclassificationofCAVapplicationshasbeenproposed, i.e., vehicle-centric, infrastructure-centric, andtraveler-centricapplications.Itwasconcluded thatatrendexiststhataportionofthoseCAVapplicationsarebeingdesignedtoimprovemore thanoneMOE(usuallytwo), however, veryfewCAVapplicationsimproveallthethreemajor MOEs(i.e., safety, mobilityandenvironmentalimpacts).BasedonafundamentalMOEs framework, wepropose atuning approachor strategy, where somekeysystem-wide parameters beoptimized, therebyhelping achievepositivesynergisticeffectswiththeultimate goal ofimprovingallthekeyMOEs.
Incombinationwithco-benefitsanalysisofsometypicalCAVapplications, weidentifiedthekey influential parameters onsystemperformance (benefits), suchastrajectoryplanning, increased spacing, capacityincrease, speeds/decelerationsmoothing, regenerativebraking, vehicle’s dynamicsandexogenoussignalphaseandtimingadjustment, etc.Thein-depthinvestigationof theHighSpeedDifferentialWarning, theLaneSpeedMonitoringandtheEco-Speed Harmonization showthatthereexiststradeoffsbetweenthekeyMOEsforasingle-MOE-focusedapplication(e.g., the HSDWapplicationcaseandthe LSMapplicationcase).Onthe otherhand, someCAVapplicationsmayhaveco-benefitsinthesensethattheycanimprovea combinationofsafety, mobilityandenvironmentalsustainabilitybybetterdesigningortuning systemparameters(e.g., theESHapplicationcase).
Moreover, otherthantheapplicationitself, manynetwork-widefactorscouldaffectthe performanceofaspecificapplication.Forinstance, penetrationrateofapplication-equipped vehiclesisoneimportantdimensionthatshouldbetakenintoaccountwhentheperformance ismeasured, especiallywhenthereisgrowingtrendtowardmixedtrafficwithinthenext decade.Otherparametersconsideredasmacroscopicinfluentialfactors onsystem performance includebutnotlimittotrafficdemand, truckpercentageandevencommunication transmissionrange.
