New driving strategy uses police swerving to absorb traffic jams

Researchers have developed a new jam-absorption driving strategy inspired by police car swerving maneuvers to mitigate stop-and-go traffic waves. This strategy, termed Single-Vehicle Double-Detector Jam-Absorption Driving (SD-JAD), aims to suppress traffic congestion by having a dedicated vehicle perform "slow-in" and "fast-out" actions. The proposed method is designed for practical implementation, utilizing only two roadside detectors to measure key parameters and has demonstrated success in simulations without causing secondary waves.

    Transforming Police-Car Swerving for Mitigating Isolated Stop-and-Go Traffic Waves: A Practice-Oriented Jam-Absorption Driving Strategy

    arXiv:2602.10234v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Stop-and-go traffic waves, a major form of freeway congestion, impose severe and persistent adverse impacts, including reduced traffic efficiency, increased safety risks, and elevated vehicle emissions. Among various freew…
