Improvement of Variable Speed Limit Control Effectiveness in Context of Connected Vehicles

The problem with Variable Speed Limit Control (VSLC), as one of powerful ITS services, is that a certain percentage of drivers do not obey posted speed limits. Mentioned behavior induces a reduction of the VSLC service effectiveness. In order to deal with this problem, the concept of Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) is introduced. ISA can directly reduce the vehicle’s speed according to the information obtained from the traffic control system installed on road infrastructure. Computed optimal speed limits are transmitted to the vehicles with ISA communication capabilities. Today, the connected vehicles concept is the core approach for implementation ISA system. The focus of this paper is to provide an analysis regarding the impact of the ISA on the effectiveness of VSLC in the context of connected driving.
