The estimation scheme is tested using the commercial traffic simulator Aimsun under various penetration rates of connected vehicles, employing a traffic scenario that features congested as well as free-flow conditions. The case of mixed traffic comprising conventional and connected vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control, which feature a systematically different car-following behavior than regular vehicles, is also considered. In both cases, it is demonstrated that the estimation results are satisfactory, even for low penetration rates.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης::Σχολή Μηχανικών Παραγωγής και ΔιοίκησηςFountoulakis_Markos_MSc_2016.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2016-07-20application/pdf6.2 MBfree Fountoulakis Markos Φουντουλακης Μαρκος Papageorgiou Markos Παπαγεωργιου Μαρκος Papamichail Ioannis Παπαμιχαηλ Ιωαννης Nikolos Ioannis Νικολος Ιωαννης Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης Technical University of Crete Traffic estimation Connected vehicles Microscopic simulation
