Automated vehicles are widely considered as an important element of future transportation systems, and their adoption is expected to reduce traffic jams. In this paper, we propose a new mathematical model, namely, the controlled-SOV (C-SOV) model, to investigate the effects of controlled vehicles on traffic flow. Our Proposed model incorporates vehicle control in to the well-known stochastic optimal velocity (SOV) model. We propose two control. The gap-based control method regulates the velocity of a controlled vehicle to smooth its front and rear gaps, whereas the flow-based control method regulates the velocity of a controlled vehicle to smooth its front and rear flow. The results of our simulations indicate that the gap-based control, there are density regions where the flow rate is lower than that in the case where no control is applied. On the other hand, the flow-based control method consistently improves traffic flow.
