This paper presents a traffic oscillation mitigation-oriented optimal control framework for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in a mixed traffic environment where the behavior of human-driven vehicles (HVs) is unknown. The primary objective of this framework is to alleviate traffic oscillations, thereby improving overall traffic flow. To achieve this, we introduce a novel total equilibrium spacing estimation method, incorporating stochastic parameters into a car-following model and quantifying the deviation between the mean and equilibrium spacing. This estimation, integrated with a jam-absorption driving strategy, is embedded into a Model Predictive Control (MPC) model for the objective of mitigating traffic oscillations. The efficacy of the proposed control method is evaluated through two experiments utilizing real vehicle trajectory datasets. The first experiment focuses on a single CAV, exploring the impact of key controller parameters on oscillation mitigation. Results demonstrate the optimal performance of the proposed Oscillation Mitigation-based Model Predictive Control (OM-MPC) model, even with a shorter CAV distance (e.g., 100 m), revealing a positive correlation between CAV distance and suitable preset oscillation duration. The second experiment extends the investigation to multiple stop-and-go shockwaves and varying CAV penetration rates. A comparative analysis of control models, including OM-MPC, regular MPC, and proportional-integral with saturation, is conducted based on velocity mean (VM), road segment congestion index (RI), and vehicle stop times (VST). The findings underscore the effectiveness of the proposed control method in mitigating traffic oscillations and enhancing overall traffic efficiency, establishing it as the optimal choice among the three approaches.
