Abstract :
The paper deals with the design of individual vehicle speed, taking into account the topographical characteristics of the road, the speed limit and the current traffic conditions. The look-ahead speed selection algorithm is implemented in microscopic traffic simulation environment V ISSIM u sing COM interface and MATLAB programming. The proposed look-ahead control is tested and analyzed on one of main transportation roads in Hungary namely between Tatabánya and Györ. The main novelty of the paper is the implementation of the look-ahead control in a realistic traffic environment, where the benefits of the method can be tested during different traffic conditions.
