This research evaluated the effects of automated vehicle control strategies on system level emissions, travel time and wait time through a series of traffic lights. The study was conducted using traffic simulation and a realistic vehicle mix. Two control strategies were evaluated including a single vehicle control strategy and a multi-vehicle coordination heuristic. The performance of each control strategy was recorded under various levels of connected and autonomous vehicle technology (V2X technology) and 3 levels of traffic flow.
