Freeway Traffic Management in Presence of Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems (VACS)

During the last decade, there has been a significant effort to develop a variety of Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems (VACS). These are expected to revolutionise the features and capabilities of individual vehicles within the next decades. The introduction of VACS brings along the (sometimes ignored) necessity and continuously growing opportunities for accordingly adapted or utterly new Traffic Management (TM) actions and strategies. This calls for a new era of freeway TM research and practice, which is indispensable in order to accompany, complement and exploit the evolving VACS deployment. Specifically, the development of new traffic flow modelling and control approaches should become a priority in the years to come.
