Reducing the risk of rear-end collisions with infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) integration of variable speed limit control and adaptive cruise control system.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared with VSL-only and ACC-only scenarios, this integrated I2V system is more effective on reducing rear-end collision risks. The findings of this study provide useful information for traffic agencies to implement novel techniques to improve safety on freeways.
