In a mixed traffic environment, AVs will travel by different types of road users, such as human-driven vehicles. The AV controller needs to engage its acceleration and deceleration in such a way so that AV movement must be compatible with immediate upstream vehicles, which could be a human-driven vehicle, and passengers in the AV should feel comfortable as it moves through a mixed traffic environment. This presentation will focus on a physics-based autonomous vehicle longitudinal driver model (PAVL-DM) to move\u00a0an\u00a0AV forward with a minimum following gap while considering safety and passenger comfort. The concept, theoretical considerations, and mathematical formulations of the PAVL-DM longitudinal control model will be discussed along with PAVL-DM model equilibria and robustness for safety assurance and string stability. The numerical analysis related to riding comfort and a dynamic minimum following gap while considering safety will also be presented. It is revealed that PAVL-DM (i) can maintain safety between a subject AV and an immediate front vehicle using a newly defined safe gap function depending on the speed and reaction time of an AV; (ii) shows local stability and string stability; and (iii) provides riding comfort for a range of autonomous driving aggressiveness depending on passengers&#8217; corresponding preferences on driving aggressiveness. In addition, a case study using a real-world dataset will be presented, which proves that an AV with the PAVL-DM model maintains a minimum following gap between a subject AV and an immediate front vehicle without compromising safety and passenger comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaker Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mizanur &#8220;Mizan&#8221; Rahman <\/strong>is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alabama (UA), Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
