Freeway bottlenecks lead to traffic congestion and speed reduction, resulting in increased risks of rear-end collision. This paper aimed to develop a control strategy of an integrated system of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) and variable speed limit (VSL) to reduce rear-end collision risks near freeway bottlenecks. A microscopic simulation testbed was first constructed, in which the realistic PATH CACC models and surrogate safety measures of the time exposed time-to-collision (TET) and time integrated time-to-collision (TIT) were used. A feedback control algorithm was then developed for the proposed vehicle to infrastructure system of CACC and VSL. The simulation results showed that the proposed integration system with 100% CACC penetration rate can reduce the rear-end collision risks effectively, with the TIT and TET declined by 98%. The average travel time was also decreased by 33%, compared with the manual vehicles without any control. Moreover, the safety improvements of the proposed integrated system are quite stable at the various bottlenecks with different magnitudes of speed reductions. The sensitivity analyses suggested that the penetration rate of CACC has significant impact on safety performance. The VSL control plays an important role in reducing rear-end collision risks when the penetration rate of CACC is low. The combination of CACC and VSL controls mitigates the negative effects of the mixed traffic flow of the manual and CACC vehicles.
