How do modular autonomous vehicles impact traffic flow?
Modular Autonomous Vehicle in Heterogeneous Traffic Flow: Modeling, Simulation, and Implication
September 27, 2024
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.17945- This research proposes a traffic flow model that incorporates Modular Autonomous Vehicles (MAVs), which can connect and detach to form "trains" in traffic.
- The model uses a cellular automata approach, simulating individual vehicle behavior with rules for MAV docking, collective movement, and detaching. While not using LLMs directly, the concept of mode-dependent behavior (independent, docking, collective) for agents in a shared environment is relevant to LLM-based multi-agent systems. This work offers a concrete example of simulating complex multi-agent interactions with a rule-based approach.
