Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication protocols are hereby used for the insertion of vehicles into a traffic simulation of a real-world intersection. Until now, real world traffic could be inserted into a simulation through stationary detectors, for example magnet field sensors, induction loops, cameras, radar etc. The downside of this detection method is that only momentary information can be obtained and e.g. the behavior of the vehicles approaching an intersection can only be approximated. ACVs however continuously broadcast their positions and speeds via CAMs. Detecting vehicles though these messages leads to a more realistic representation of the vehicle’s driving behavior. The current paper describes how CAMs are used to place and move ACVs inside the simulation of a real-world intersection in Braunschweig with the traffic simulation SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility). Furthermore, it describes an approach to how these continuously detected vehicles could be further used as control units. Since the positions and speeds of ACVs are synchronized with the real-world behavior, they can be used to adjust the simulated upstream movements and positioning of conventional vehicles (CV) to match reality. Until all vehicles are equipped with V2X technology, this approach could enable more realistic simulated traffic flow behavior.Keyphrases: adaptive traffic control, automated connected vehicles, car2x, traffic flow simulation In: Melanie Weber, Laura Bieker-Walz, Robert Hilbrich and Michael Behrisch (editors).
