I t is hypothesized that traffic lights may become obsolete and can be remov ed from intersections when all vehicles are both connected and automated. Some changes in traffic light systems may be necessary to accommodate the transition to a road system in which all vehicles are automated\, and this means changing a technology that has been around for more than 100 years. In this talk\, we introduce a new traffic control paradigm: using automat ed vehicles as mobile traffic controllers in cooperation with traffic sign al controllers. In this concept\, automated vehicles can create groups of human-driven vehicles\, negotiate the right of way with each other\, and n avigate human-driven vehicles through the intersection during a new phase called the white phase. This happens only when enough automated vehicles a re present in the intersection neighborhood\, otherwise\, typical green\, yellow\, and red phases are used. The simulation analysis has been very pr omising\, and the new paradigm resulted in total delay reductions ranging from 7 percent to 96 percent when the automated vehicle market penetration rate increases from 10 percent up to 100 percent. This talk will also cov er controlling CAVs in roundabouts and signal-free intersections.\n\nSpeak er(s): Ali Hajbabaie\, \n\nAgenda: \nMechatronics and Automation for Revit alizing Critical infrastructure Health (MARCH) - Moving from Research to A pplication\n\nThe IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Chapter of the Easte rn North Carolina Section is hosting a multi-disciplinary webinar series t itled\, “Mechatronics and Automation for Revitalizing Critical infrastru cture Health (MARCH) - Moving from Research to Application”. The speaker s will be focusing on applied research and development in automation of se nsors\, actuators and intelligent decision making to improve\, automate or smarten critical infrastructure systems such as power\, communication\, w ater\, transportation\, etc. for fault detection\, diagnosis and mitigatio n\, and interconnected collaborative operation. The goal of the webinar se ries is to build and expand connections between faculty and to foster new faculty-industry relationships to widen the applicability of their researc h to a larger industry/academic audience. This webinar also aims to broade n the research horizon and facilitate the integration of scientific aspect s that were previously not considered as prominent factors for the operati on of certain critical infrastructure. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the speakers and other attendees to build partnerships t o participate in funding opportunities and collaborative interdisciplinary research.\n\nRaleigh\, North Carolina\, United States\, Virtual: https:// events.vtools.ieee.org/m/273806 LOCATION:Raleigh\, North Carolina\, United States\, Virtual: https://events .vtools.ieee.org/m/273806 ORGANIZER:bbalago@ncsu.edu SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Webinar Series - MARCH - Traffic Control in the Era of Connected Au tomated Vehicles URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/273806 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Connected automated vehicles (CAVs) are ex pected to bring significant changes to how we travel and how traffic contr ol devices operate.
