[0019] In the embodiment, the urban intersection conflict area scene model only considers motor vehicles, and does not consider other traffic elements such as non-motor vehicles and pedestrians.
[0020] The green light extension strategy is considered to realize the ART priority passing, and the signal cycle is not changed. If the remaining green light time can guarantee that the ART passes completely, no measures need to be taken; otherwise, the green light extension strategy is taken, and after the ART passes the intersection, the signal light switches to the next phase.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, on the basis of ensuring the priority of the intelligent rail rapid transit system, the delay calculation of the right-turn vehicle is similar to the crossing delay at the unsignalized intersection, assuming that the ART arrival obeys the Poisson distribution, the average delay calculation formula of the intelligent network vehicle right-turning in the conflict area is: ; wherein, , , T1 is the average delay of the intelligent network vehicle right-turning in the conflict area, s; λ is the intelligent rail vehicle arrival rate; T pass is the intelligent rail vehicle passing time, s; T headway is the headway, s. L is the total length of the ART, m; V is the driving speed of the ART, m / s.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the step of modeling the cooperative control problem of the intelligent rail rapid transit system and the intelligent network vehicle as a cooperative game model specifically comprises: calculating the minimum decision distance and the maximum communication distance of the road side unit in the scenario of the priority of the intelligent rail rapid transit system; determining the detection range of each entrance lane of the intersection based on the minimum decision distance and the maximum communication distance of the road side unit; respectively calculating the safety benefit, the efficiency benefit and the comfort benefit of the intelligent rail rapid transit system and the intelligent network vehicle.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the step of calculating the minimum decision distance and the maximum communication distance of the road side unit in the scenario of the priority of the intelligent rail rapid transit system specifically comprises: calculating the maximum communication distance based on the modified logarithmic distance path loss model; determining the minimum decision distance based on the double constraints of real-time response and safety braking in the scenario of the priority of the intelligent rail rapid transit system.
[0024] In the present embodiment, the control range of the RSU is calculated by considering multiple factors such as ensuring the priority of the ART, minimizing the impact on the overall traffic, adapting to the signal control logic, etc.
[0025] To determine the communication coverage range of the RSU, the present application uses the modified logarithmic distance path loss model, which comprehensively considers the free space attenuation, multipath effect and environmental interference, and the path loss is expressed as: ; wherein, PL(d) is the path loss at a distance d from the transmitter, dB; PL0 is the path loss at a reference distance d0, dB; n is the path loss exponent; d is the actual distance, m; d0 is the reference distance, m; Shadow fading margin, dB.
[0026] Combined with the log-distance path loss model, the maximum communication distance D max is expressed as: ; In the formula, D max is the maximum communication distance, m; P t is the transmission power, dBm; S is the receiver sensitivity, dBm; µ is the mean of the shadow fading margin ; z is the quantile of the standard normal distribution related to the required probability; is the standard deviation of the shadow fading margin .
[0027] For the ART priority scenario, the functional control range of the RSU needs to meet the dual constraints of real-time response and safety braking, and the minimum decision distance is expressed as: ; In the formula, D min is the minimum distance required for intelligent network vehicle decision, m; V vehicle is the CAV operating speed, m / s; t responde is the system response time, s; is the CAV deceleration, m / s 2 .
[0028] Considering the maximum communication distance, the minimum decision distance, and giving a certain safety allowance distance, the detection range of each approach of the intersection is finally determined to be 100 m.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the safety benefit of the intelligent rail rapid transit system is: ; Wherein, a is the acceleration of the intelligent rail vehicle when driving, a ref is the reference acceleration, V ref is the reference speed, is a normal number; The safety benefit of the intelligent network vehicle is: ; Wherein, , p is the probability of the intelligent network vehicle and the intelligent rail vehicle in the same lane, S 变道 represents the safety benefit brought by the intelligent network vehicle when avoiding the intelligent rail vehicle by changing lanes, and is usually taken as 1; N is the number of lanes, d is the distance of the intelligent network vehicle from the intersection, D is the detection range, and the probability value p depends on the initial same lane probability, lane changing feasibility, system response time, etc.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the probability calculation formula of the intelligent network vehicle and the intelligent rail vehicle in the same lane is: The efficiency benefit of the intelligent rail rapid transit system is: ; Wherein, , L cross is the length of the intersection, m; t t is the time required for the ART to accelerate through the intersection at the maximum safe acceleration, s; t ref is the reference saving time, s.
[0031] The efficiency benefit of the intelligent network vehicle is: ; Wherein, k j is the blockage density, vehicles / m; V f is the free flow speed, m / s; Q ref is the reference traffic volume, vehicles / s; T is the average delay of conflict vehicles in the conflict area, s; T ref is the reference delay, s.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the comfort benefit of the intelligent rail rapid transit system is: ; Wherein, a ref is the reference acceleration, m / s 2 ; The comfort benefit of the intelligent network vehicle is: ; Wherein, a vehicle is the acceleration of the intelligent network vehicle, m / s 2 .
[0033] The influence of the length of the ART itself on the intersection traffic conditions is considered when calculating the benefit, effectively making up for the shortcomings of traditional research methods.
[0034] The comprehensive benefit is composed of the safety benefit, the efficiency benefit and the comfort benefit, and the comprehensive benefit function is defined as: ; ; According to the analytic hierarchy process, the judgment matrix is set combined with expert opinions, and the weight is obtained by using the characteristic vector method: ; The consistency test of the judgment matrix is passed, and the system comprehensive benefit function is defined as: ; The safety performance of the SUMO built-in original model and the optimized model in the conflict area of the intersection was compared and analyzed. The results showed that the original model frequently appeared vehicle sudden braking behavior in the conflict area, and there was a non-physical crossing phenomenon between vehicles, indicating that its conflict resolution mechanism was insufficient. In contrast, the optimized model effectively avoided sudden braking and vehicle collision problems by restructuring vehicle interaction logic and decision-making mechanism. Qualitative analysis showed that the optimized model could more reasonably coordinate vehicle trajectories, reduce risk conflicts, and thus improve intersection operation safety.
[0035] By setting multiple groups of flow rate ratio parameters through the control variable method, the simulation data of the SUMO built-in original model and the optimized model constructed in this study were compared. As shown in Table 1, compared with the original model, the optimized model proposed in this paper showed better results under different flow combinations, and the average delay of ART was reduced.
[0036] Table 1 ART average delay table
[0037] As shown in Table 2, the optimized model showed better traffic efficiency when the flow rate ratio was low and high. It is worth noting that the overall delay of the optimized model remained stable under different flow rate conditions, without significant fluctuations, showing stronger robustness.
[0038] Table 2 System average delay table
[0039] Through the control variable experiment, the flow rate of westbound straight and right-turn vehicles was gradually increased, the delay distribution of right-turn vehicles under different flow rate combinations was collected, and the data was recorded. As shown in Figure 2 , the delay distribution of right-turn vehicles in the conflict area of the intersection showed a significant bimodal feature. The main peak was concentrated in the time interval of (5, 7] seconds, and there was a secondary peak structure, and with the increase of flow, the amplitude of the secondary peak showed a significant increasing trend.
[0040] The optimized model proposed in this study showed significant improvement in pollutant emissions compared with the SUMO built-in original model. As shown in Figure 3 , the optimized model showed a downward trend in key pollutant emission indicators, with a 6.8% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a 9.3% reduction in hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, a 55.4% reduction in nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions, and a 38.5% reduction in particulate matter (PM x ) emissions.
[0041] In addition, the experimental results show that the average fuel consumption of the original model is 1409 grams, while the average fuel consumption of the optimized model is reduced to 1381 grams, with a reduction of 1.99%, achieving higher fuel economy. As Figure 4 The fuel consumption time sequence characteristics of each CAV in the optimized model are visually characterized by scatter plots, which present the instantaneous energy consumption distribution of each CAV unit and reflect the dynamic evolution process of fuel economy under the collaborative control strategy.
[0042] The ART control strategy under heterogeneous traffic flow provided by the embodiment of the present application can eliminate the traffic safety hazards in the conflict area of the intersection, guarantee the safety benefits of each game participant (i.e., ART and CAV), improve the passing efficiency of the game core participant ART without sacrificing the overall passing efficiency of the intersection, reduce the time of ART staying in the intersection, explore the delay distribution of non-priority participants in the conflict area, compare the delay change trend under different flow rates, and reduce the average fuel consumption and air pollutant emissions.

The system comprises: A scene construction module is used to construct a conflict area scene model of the urban intersection, and ensure the priority passing of the intelligent rail rapid transit system based on the green light extension strategy; A game module is used to model the cooperative control problem of the intelligent rail rapid transit system and the intelligent network vehicle as a cooperative game model; A weight allocation module is used to allocate weights to each item of income based on the analytic hierarchy process, and generate a comprehensive income function based on the weights; A strategy generation module is used to generate a control strategy based on the comprehensive income function.
