Description

Vehicle ecological driving control method and electronic equipment for mixed traffic flow

[0001] The present invention claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the Patent Office of China on June 26, 2023, with application number 202310757724.X and title “Vehicle ecological driving control method and electronic device for mixed traffic flow”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the fields of artificial potential field theory, traffic flow theory and vehicle motion planning and control, and in particular to a vehicle ecological driving control method and electronic equipment for mixed traffic flow. Background Art

[0003] In recent years, with the rapid increase in the number of vehicles, energy consumption and pollutant emissions have become increasingly prominent. Furthermore, road vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, account for approximately three-quarters of transportation emissions. Eco-driving is a strategy that improves the energy efficiency and emission reduction efficiency of transportation systems by modifying vehicle driving behavior. Its fundamental approach is to provide vehicles with real-time driving recommendations to reduce stop-and-start, idling, and abrupt acceleration / deceleration. Numerous studies and practices have demonstrated that eco-driving can reduce fuel consumption and emissions by 3%-20%. With the recent advancement of autonomous driving and communication technologies, controlling connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to achieve eco-driving is considered an effective and promising approach. Compared to highway environments, urban road traffic flow is frequently interrupted by traffic lights. Vehicle acceleration, deceleration, and idling at signalized intersections increase fuel consumption and emissions. Therefore, developing eco-driving strategies for urban road environments is of great significance.

[0004] Currently, existing research on ecological driving strategies for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) ignores the impact of other vehicles on them, or focuses solely on connected and autonomous driving scenarios. However, it is foreseeable that human-driven vehicles (MVs) and connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will coexist on the road for a long time, forming mixed traffic flows.

[0005] Therefore, it is imperative to fully consider the mutual impacts between human-driven vehicles (MVs) and connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) implementing eco-driving strategies in mixed traffic flows to ensure that eco-driving strategies do not negatively impact the safety of mixed traffic flows. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that eco-driving vehicles often decelerate when approaching intersections, and this deceleration behavior is difficult for drivers of vehicles behind the eco-driving vehicle to predict. Therefore, the safety impact of following vehicles on vehicles implementing eco-driving strategies cannot be ignored, yet this point has been overlooked in many studies and practices.

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the following embodiments and implementations may be combined with each other.

[0036] As shown in FIG1 and FIG2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle ecological driving control method for mixed traffic flow, the method comprising:

[0037] Step S1: Obtain signal intersection timing information, historical vehicle status information, and real-time vehicle status information; based on shock wave evolution theory, calculate the intersection gathering wave velocity and dissipation wave velocity to obtain the location of the farthest queue point at the downstream intersection of the networked autonomous driving vehicle and the time when the farthest queue is formed.

[0038] Specifically, step S1 includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S101: collecting signal phase and timing information (SPaT), historical vehicle status information, and real-time vehicle status information, wherein the vehicle status information includes vehicle position, vehicle speed, and vehicle acceleration.

[0040] Step S102: calibrate the intersection saturation flow rate q based on historical vehicle status information s , saturation flow density ρ s and congestion flow density ρ j .

[0041] Step S103: Obtain the arrival flow rate q based on the real-time vehicle status information a and the arrival flow density ρ a .

[0042] Step S104: Calculate the intersection gathering wave speed w1, which is expressed as follows: w1 = (0-q a ) / (ρ j -ρ a ).

[0043] Calculate the intersection evanescent wave velocity w2, the expression is as follows: w2=(q s -0) / (ρ s -ρ j ).

[0044] Also included: intersection departure wave w3 is: w3=(q s -qa ) / (ρ s -ρ a ).

[0045] It should be noted that the schematic diagram of intersection queue evolution and shock waves is shown in Figure 3. The gathering wave w1 refers to the shock wave generated by the traffic state changing from arrival flow to congestion flow, that is, the straight line AB in Figure 3; the dissipating wave w2 refers to the shock wave generated by the traffic state changing from congestion flow to saturation flow, that is, the straight line BC in Figure 3; the departing wave w3 refers to the shock wave generated by the traffic state changing from arrival flow to saturation flow, that is, the straight line BD in Figure 3.

[0046] Step S105: predict the queue situation of the vehicles in front of the CAV based on the shock wave propagation speed at the intersection and the vehicle status information, and obtain the farthest queue point position l at the intersection that the CAV will face. mq and the time t at which the furthest queue is formed mq .

[0047] Specifically, the current queue length L0 is obtained according to the signal intersection timing information and the real-time vehicle status information.

[0048] The time when the first connected autonomous vehicle CAV enters the intersection is t0, and the signal will be at t g Turn green all the time, t r In order to unify the calculation of the farthest queue point position and formation time in different situations, it is necessary to calculate the green light start time t g Adjust, t′ g Indicates the adjusted green light start time, calculated by the following formula:

[0049] Where c is the signal cycle length.

[0050] Use the adjusted green light start time t′ g , calculate the distance L between the farthest queue point and the stop line mq , the expression is as follows:

[0051] Where w1 is the velocity of the gathering wave, w2 is the velocity of the dissipating wave, and t′ g represents the adjusted green light start time, t0 is the time when the first connected autonomous vehicle enters the intersection, and ρ j is the congestion flow density, and N0 is the total number of vehicles between the first connected autonomous vehicle and the stop line.

[0052] Calculate the farthest queue point position l at the downstream intersection of the connected autonomous vehicle mq , the expression is as follows: mq =l s -Lmq .

[0053] Calculate the time t when the furthest queue is formed mq , the expression is as follows: mq =-L mq / w2.

[0054] Where, l s Indicates the stop line position.

[0055] Step S2, based on the position of the farthest queue point at the downstream intersection of the connected autonomous vehicle and the time when the farthest queue is formed, predict the time when the connected autonomous vehicle passes the stop line and the vehicle status.

[0056] It should be noted that in order to ensure the original traffic efficiency of the intersection, it is necessary to predict the time when the networked autonomous driving vehicle CAV passes the stop line. and vehicle status (Terminal state). Among them, the terminal state This includes the position and speed of the CAV as it passes through the stop line. The speed at which the CAV passes through the stop line corresponds to the saturated flow speed. Since vehicles often pass through intersections with saturated traffic conditions, where queues often form, this example assumes that the controlled CAV should also pass through at this speed. This not only maintains existing traffic efficiency but also reduces the CAV's speed through the intersection, further ensuring safety.

[0057] Get the time it takes for a connected autonomous vehicle to pass the stop line The expression is as follows:

[0058] Get the vehicle status of a connected autonomous vehicle passing a stop line The expression is as follows:

[0059] Where, v s It represents the speed at which a connected autonomous vehicle passes the stop line, i.e. the speed of the saturated flow.

[0060] Step S3: constructing a method for predicting the longitudinal acceleration of a manually driven vehicle based on the risk field model to obtain a predicted trajectory of the manually driven vehicle.

[0061] The expression is as follows: f (t)=max(a min ,min(a max ,g(t))).

[0062] Where a f(t) represents the longitudinal acceleration of the manually driven vehicle, g(t) represents the acceleration expected by the driver, and a min Indicates the minimum acceleration of the vehicle, a max Indicates the maximum acceleration of the vehicle, T p Indicates the driver's preview time, r d represents the driver's expected risk, η represents the impact factor of speed on risk, λ represents the impact factor of distance on risk, l represents the position of the vehicle, v represents the speed of the vehicle, L represents the length of the vehicle, t represents time, i represents the vehicle number, where the i-1th vehicle is in front of the i-th vehicle.

[0063] In step S4, the vehicle's instantaneous fuel consumption and the penalty for crossing the stop line are used as objective functions, the vehicle dynamics constraints and trajectory constraints are set, and an optimal ecological reference trajectory planning model for the connected autonomous vehicle is constructed and solved to obtain the acceleration curve of the connected autonomous vehicle, thereby obtaining the ecological reference trajectory of the connected autonomous vehicle.

[0064] Taking the vehicle's instantaneous fuel consumption and the penalty for passing the stop line as the objective function, the expression is as follows:

[0065] Where, Indicates the time it takes for a connected autonomous vehicle to pass the stop line Vehicle status; Indicates the vehicle status of a connected autonomous vehicle passing a stop line; represents the penalty for the connected autonomous vehicle passing the stop line; L(v(t), a(t), t) represents the instantaneous fuel consumption of the vehicle; v(t) represents the speed of the connected autonomous vehicle at time t, and a(t) represents the acceleration of the connected autonomous vehicle at time t; Q f and α1 both represent penalty weights.

[0066] In addition, the vehicle motion must satisfy the following dynamic formulas and dynamic constraints:

[0067] 0≤v(t)≤v max .

[0068] a min ≤a(t)≤a max .

[0069] Where, v max Indicates the road speed limit, a min Indicates the minimum acceleration of the vehicle, a max represents the maximum acceleration of the vehicle, v(t) represents the speed of the connected autonomous driving vehicle at time t, and a(t) represents the acceleration of the connected autonomous driving vehicle at time t.

[0070] To avoid queuing, the farthest queuing point l obtained in step S1 should be used. mq and its formation time t mq Establish trajectory constraints so that the connected autonomous vehicle CAV can mq When the position is l(t mq ) Upstream of the furthest queue point, that is:

[0071] l(t mq )≤l mq .

[0072] In particular, when there is more than one CAV at the intersection, the queue at the intersection ahead may be eliminated for the second CAV due to the eco-driving behavior of the first CAV, as shown in Figure 4. Therefore, for the CAVs after the first one, the predicted trajectory of the manually driven vehicle MV obtained in step S3 will replace the queue information as the trajectory constraint for the second CAV, that is:

[0073] l(t)≤l p (t).

[0074] Where, l p (t) represents the predicted trajectory of MV.

[0075] After solving the optimal ecological reference trajectory planning model, the acceleration curve a(t) of the connected autonomous vehicle CAV can be obtained. Based on the acceleration curve, the ecological reference trajectory x(t) of the connected autonomous vehicle CAV can be calculated. ref .

[0076] In step S5, a risk factor is set based on the risk field model and the predicted trajectories of the manually driven vehicles before and after the connected autonomous vehicle. A tracking target is constructed based on the risk factor and the ecological reference trajectory. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is used to solve the target and obtain the control input of the connected autonomous vehicle.

[0077] Since eco-driving strategies typically involve slowing down vehicles as they approach intersections, the risks posed by vehicles preceding and following the CAV are also considered. To enhance the robustness of the control strategy, this example employs Model Predictive Control (MPC) to solve the problem in a rolling manner.

[0078] The risk posed by the vehicles in front and behind the connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) involves the trajectory prediction of the vehicles in front and behind the CAV. In this example, the trajectory of the manually driven vehicle behind the CAV can be obtained by inputting the planned trajectory of the CAV into the trajectory prediction method in step S3; and for the manually driven vehicle in front of all CAVs, its predicted trajectory is obtained based on the assumption that its acceleration will remain unchanged for a period of time in the future. According to the predicted trajectory of the manually driven vehicles in front and behind the connected autonomous vehicle, the risk factor of the leading vehicle is set. and rear vehicle risk factors Set the signal light risk factor based on signal timing information

[0079] Set tracking objectives and vehicle dynamics constraints to solve for the control inputs of the connected autonomous vehicle.

[0080] Among them, the expression of the tracking target is:

[0081] In the formula, x(k+i) represents the state of the connected autonomous driving vehicle at step k+i, k represents the current time step, i represents the number of predicted steps, and x(k+i) ref represents the ecological reference trajectory of the connected autonomous driving vehicle, Q ref , β2, β3 and β4 all represent penalty weights, and P represents the prediction time domain.

[0082] After solving the tracking target, the control sequence in the prediction time domain will be obtained: a k , a k+1 ,...,a k+P-1 However, this example only uses a k Control is applied to the CAV, and at the next time step, the environment information is retrieved, the vehicle status information and signal timing information are updated, and the problem is solved again. This process is repeated until the CAV passes the intersection.

[0083] As shown in FIG5 , an embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle ecological driving control system for mixed traffic flow, which is used to implement the above-mentioned vehicle ecological driving control method for mixed traffic flow. The system includes: a central controller and several local controllers deployed on networked autonomous driving vehicles.

[0084] The central controller includes:

[0085] The first result acquisition module is used to collect signal intersection timing information, historical vehicle status information and real-time vehicle status information; based on the shock wave evolution theory, it calculates the intersection assembly wave speed and dissipation wave speed to obtain the position of the farthest queue point at the downstream intersection of the networked autonomous driving vehicle and the time when the farthest queue is formed.

[0086] The second result acquisition module is used to predict the time when the connected autonomous driving vehicle passes the stop line and the vehicle status based on the position of the farthest queue point at the downstream intersection of the connected autonomous driving vehicle and the time when the farthest queue is formed.

[0087] The manually driven vehicle trajectory prediction module is used to construct a longitudinal acceleration prediction method for the manually driven vehicle based on the risk field model, thereby obtaining the predicted trajectory of the manually driven vehicle.
