Figure 5.11: Map1- low density - Platoon control - ATWT
Low traffic density The platoon controller has the best ATWT values for φmin
set to 1 or 5. The difference is very small but φmin = 5 should be preferred
because φmin = 1 can sometimes cause very fast switching of the traffic lights.
This gives for θ = 5 an ATWT value of 18.33 and empty queues. The highest
value is given for φmin = 20 and θ = 110. Figure 5.11 shows that all values are
increasing for increasing θ and φmin. Thus lower θ,s give the best results
