Parameter sensitivity analysis of a cooperative system by means of microscopic traffic simulation

The scope of the research study is to evaluate the parameter sensitivity of certain cooperative systems' parameters within microsimulation scenarios. A methodology and testing framework for the evaluation of the parameter sensitivity is developed. The parameter sensitivity of cooperative of a Broken Down Vehicle Warning function is tested and analyzed. Within this research, it was shown that certain parameter variations have significant effects on the overall traffic, showing that the effects of parameter variations shall be taken into consideration when performing microsimulation of cooperative systems. The sensitivity analysis showed that the proportion of C2X vehicles and the communication range are generally sensitive to variations. These results are especially interesting for electric vehicles as cooperative system can be enablers for the electric vehicles. Furthermore electric vehicles will benefit from an increased driving efficiency.     «
