Investigating the effects of gradual deployment of market penetration rates (MPR) of connected vehicles on delay time and fuel consumption


Purpose
This research paper aims to investigate the effects of gradual deployment of market penetration rates (MPR) of connected vehicles (MPR of CVs) on delay time and fuel consumption.


Design/methodology/approach
A real-world origin-destination demand matrix survey was conducted in Boston, MA to identify the number of peak hour passing vehicles in the case study.


Findings
The results showed that as the number of CVs (MPR) in the network increases, the total delay time decreases by an average of 14% and the fuel consumption decreases by an average of 56%, respectively, from scenarios 3 to 15 compared to scenario 2.


Research limitations/implications
The first limitation of this study was considering a small network. The considered network shows a small part of the case study.


Originality/value
This study can be a milestone for future research regarding gradual deployment of CVs’ effects on transport networks. Efficient policy(s) may define based on the results of this network for Brockton transport network.
