网联自动驾驶环境下交叉口车道分配与车辆轨迹协同优化

In the collaborative optimization of intersection signal timing and Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) trajectory planning, the CAV exit, left turn, through, and right turn lanes can be assigned dynamically in the operation period. Based on the characteristics of CAV technology, this paper proposes a set of dynamic control rules for lane assignment under CAV, named as "flexible lane strategy". Compared to the existing fixed lane strategy, the proposed strategy can adjust the number of exit lanes and entrance lanes (including left turn, through, right turn) for different directions of traffic flow during operation. Lane assignment, signal timing and CAV trajectory planning are incorporated into a unified optimization framework to build a mixed integer linear programming optimization model. Meanwhile, feasible phase and sequence schemes can be automatically generated according to lane assignment in each direction, and the effectiveness of the model is verified through a case study. The results show that the optimization model can generate the optimal lane assignment scheme according to the traffic demand of each flow direction, especially when the lane assignment of the fixed lane strategy does not match the traffic composition of each flow direction, the flexible lane strategy helps to improve the intersection traffic efficiency. In low flow scenario, the flexible Lane strategy reduces average vehicle delay by 4.08%. In high-traffic scenarios, the fixed lane strategy at the intersection will be in a supersaturated state, while the flexible lane strategy can still meet the demand.
