| contents | This report examines the effect of mixed traffic, specifically the variation in robot vehicle (RV) penetration rates, on the fundamental diagrams at unsignalized intersections. Through a series of simulations across four distinct intersections, the relationship between traffic flow characteristics were analyzed. The RV penetration rates were varied from 0% to 100% in increments of 25%. The study reveals that while the presence of RVs influences traffic dynamics, the impact on flow and speed is not uniform across different levels of RV penetration. The fundamental diagrams indicate that intersections may experience an increase in capacity with varying levels of RVs, but this trend does not consistently hold as RV penetration approaches 100%. The variability observed across intersections suggests that local factors possibly influence the traffic flow characteristics. These findings highlight the complexity of integrating RVs into the existing traffic system and underscore the need for intersection-specific traffic management strategies to accommodate the transition towards increased RV presence. |
