Traffic flow effects of Integrated full-range Speed Assistance (IRSA)
conference paper
This paper discusses the assessment of the effects
of Integrated full-Range Speed Assistance (IRSA), using the
ITS modeller. The aim of IRSA is to assist drivers in their
longitudinal driving task by providing speed advice or speed
warnings and cruise control-like functionalities. The effects of
the application of IRSA in three scenarios (Approaching a
traffic jam, Approaching a reduced speed limit zone and
Leaving the head of a queue) are presented. Positive effects on
throughput, safety and the environment were achieved. In
addition, the paper discusses general aspects of modeling
vehicle and driver behavior for co-operative systems, and how
this is done in the ITS modeller
