Vehicular communication technology leverages communication equipment and infrastructure to improve road safety and provide useful services for road user. In order to operate properly, many of these services need continuous data gathering to assess road situations accurately. In this paper, we analyse the impact of communication technology penetration rate and the proportion of application-equipped vehicles on the efficiency of a Lane Changing Advisory Application in improving travel delay and traffic fluidity. We model the system analytically and perform extensive simulations at different penetration rates both with a microscopic traffic simulator and a network simulator. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication outcomes influence application efficiency and therefore driver behaviour. The mobility pattern is fed back into the traffic simulator in a closed loop in order to assess traffic fluidity. The results of the study present the impact of DSRC penetration ratio on the application performance and by consequence on road traffic fluidity. They show that even at low penetration rates of 10% and 25%, total travel time and traffic fluidity are enhanced. |
