Abstract
This article considers criteria to determine when stop-and-go waves form in platoons of human-driven vehicles, and when they can be dissipated by the presence of an autonomous vehicle. Our analysis takes the start from the observation that the standard notion of string/ring stability definition, which requires uniformity with respect to the number of vehicles in the platoon, is too demanding for a mixed traffic scenario. The setting under consideration is the following: the vehicles run along a ring road and the human-driven vehicles obey a combined follow-the-leader and optimal velocity model, while the autonomous vehicle obeys an appropriately designed model. The criteria are tested on a linearized version of the resulting platoon dynamics and simulation tests using nonlinear model are carried out.
