Increasing Throughput in Urban Roads by Connected Vehicles
summary
Claims that using connected vehicles and adaptive cruise control to form platoons raises intersection saturation from ~1,200 vph per lane to as much as 4,800 vph in experiments, or ~3,000 vph with 1.2s headways, by keeping vehicles moving as tight trains through greens. Models and simulations show capacity scales linearly with saturation flow, so doubled service lets double throughput (or half cycle times to cut delays); prototypes in the Netherlands and Richmond demonstrate sub‑second following and feasible platoon control.
