An investigation of autonomous vehicle roundabout situation

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of connected autonomous behavior in real vehicles on vehicle fuel consumption and emission reductions. Authors provide a preliminary theoretical summary to assess the driving conditions of autonomous vehicles in roundabout, which attempts exploring the impact of driving behavior patterns on fuel consumption and emissions, and including other key factors of autonomous vehicles to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. After summarizing, driving behavior, effective in-vehicle systems, both roundabout physical parameters and vehicle type are all play an important role in energy using. ZalaZONE's roundabout is selected for preliminary test scenario establishment, which lays a design foundation for further in-depth testing.
