Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of urban road traffic signal control technology, and in particular, it is a method for calculating the theoretical stopping delay of vehicles at signalized intersections based on queue dissipation characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] Traffic signal delay is a commonly used performance evaluation indicator for urban road signal control, and it is of great significance for traffic signal control activities such as perception, control, optimization, evaluation, diagnosis, and recommendation.
[0003] Stopping delays at signalized intersections refer to the delays caused by traffic signal control devices during the passage of vehicles through the intersection, resulting in queuing, stopping, and other phenomena, thus losing a certain amount of travel time. This indicator can reflect the quality of signal control strategies and signal timing.
[0004] Stopping delays at signalized intersections can be obtained through either theoretical model calculations or on-site observations. However, the former typically uses complex theoretical formulas and parameters that are mostly available only in simulation environments, making them difficult to collect in real-world scenarios. The latter struggles to capture instances of vehicles queuing before reaching the stop line and lacks automated statistical analysis mechanisms, requiring manual statistics which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and yield minimal benefits.
[0005] In addition, existing technologies do not clearly separate the two different signal control delay scenarios of vehicles queuing in channelized areas and waiting at red lights at stop lines. The general description of vehicle stopping delays at signalized intersections lacks a unified spatiotemporal benchmark.
[0006] Nowadays, traffic detectors using video, radar, and radar-visual fusion technologies have made breakthroughs in video image processing, radar point cloud data processing, and target tracking. They can achieve large-scale vehicle identification and detection. Using related technologies, it is easy to construct a detection domain that covers the channelized area of signalized intersection entrances and scan and record the vehicle location distribution information within the detection domain.
[0007] Based on the vehicle location distribution data collected within the detection domain, combined with the operational background scheme and the dynamic queuing and dissipation characteristics of vehicles, it has become possible to establish an instantaneous, lightweight, and universal prediction model for the arrival and departure times of vehicles at the parking line. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a method for calculating the theoretical stopping delay of vehicles at signalized intersections based on queue dissipation characteristics.

[0010] A traffic detection method with the ability to identify the distribution characteristics of vehicles in different areas is adopted to construct a large-scale traffic detection domain covering the tactical area. When a target vehicle enters the detection domain, the positional distribution characteristics of all vehicles in the detection domain are analyzed to establish a sequence of vehicles to be eliminated.
[0011] Based on the operational background scheme, a time range graph function expressing whether a vehicle has the right-of-way is established in the time domain;
[0012] Based on the dynamic queuing generation and dissipation characteristics of vehicles in the vehicle sequence to be dissipated, a calculation model is established for the time when a vehicle arrives at the parking line and the time when it leaves the parking line.
[0013] The calculation model is used to obtain the queuing delay time of the target vehicle before arriving at the stop line and the waiting delay time at the red light after arriving at the stop line. The sum of the two delay times is the total theoretical stopping delay time of the vehicle at the signalized intersection.
[0014] Furthermore, the tactical area includes parking lines, channelized lanes, and an adjacent portion of the road area, within the tactical area S. MaxQueue A regional detection method is used within the specified area.
[0015] Furthermore, the traffic detection method employing interval vehicle distribution feature recognition constructs a large-scale traffic detection domain covering the tactical area. When a target vehicle enters the detection domain, the positional distribution features of all vehicles in the detection domain are analyzed to establish a sequence of vehicles to be eliminated, specifically including:
[0016] Target vehicle B obj When a vehicle enters the detection domain from a distance, a scan and analysis of the number and location of vehicles within the detection domain is triggered, establishing a sequence containing n+1 vehicles to be eliminated. If n = 0, then the sequence of vehicles to be eliminated is {B}. obj The vehicle's location is expressed as... If the number of vehicles n≥1, then the sequence of vehicles to be eliminated is {B1, ..., B...} n B obj The corresponding vehicle location is expressed as} Vehicle B1 is closest to the stop line. obj The furthest from the parking line, and
[0017] Furthermore, the aforementioned method of establishing a time-range graph function in the time domain to express whether a vehicle has the right-of-way based on the operational background scheme specifically includes:

[0019] The initial moment of the background scheme map is the target vehicle B.obj The moment t0 when the device enters the detection domain and is identified;
[0020] The right-of-way attribute ROW1 in the first time block of the background scheme map is taken from the target vehicle B at time t0. obj Request the right-of-way attribute of the phase, let The duration Δt1 between time t0 and the right-of-way attribute switching time is the duration of this time block; the right-of-way attribute ROW2 of the second time block in the background scheme map is opposite to the right-of-way attribute ROW1 of the previous time block, ROW2 = (-1) × ROW1, and the duration Δt2 between the second and subsequent right-of-way attribute switching times starts at time t0 + Δt1 and ends at time t0 + Δt1. Similarly, the path right attribute (ROW) of the m-th time block in the background scheme map is... m ROW (Right-of-Way) attribute of the previous time block m-1 Conversely, ROW m = (-1) × ROW m-1 =…=(-1) m-1 ×ROW1, the duration Δt from the subsequent right-of-way attribute switch. m Its starting time is End time

[0060] Furthermore, the calculation model obtains the queuing delay time before the target vehicle arrives at the stop line and the waiting delay time at the red light after arriving at the stop line. The sum of the two delay times is the total theoretical stopping delay time of the vehicle at the signalized intersection, specifically including:

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this invention are:
[0073] (1) A unified spatiotemporal reference method for quantifying the signal control delay of vehicles at signalized intersections is established. When a vehicle enters the detection domain, the vehicle position distribution information within the detection domain is scanned immediately, the background scheme is locked, and the calculation of the time when the vehicle arrives at the stop line and leaves the stop line is triggered. In this way, the queuing delay, the red light delay, and the total theoretical stopping delay of the vehicle at the signalized intersection are obtained.
[0074] (2) High practicality: It adopts common traffic detection technologies and conventional traffic detection data. Technologies such as video, radar, radar-visual integration, floating cars, and perception fusion can all provide vehicle location distribution data within the channelized area.
[0075] (3) High robustness, supporting theoretical parking delay calculation under various control scenarios such as fixed period, coordination, sensing, adaptive, pedestrian crossing, and bus priority.
[0076] (4) Real-time calculation: A lightweight logic calculation model is adopted. Once the distance of the channelized area is fixed, the upper limit of the number of vehicles n distributed in the detection domain can be determined. The time complexity of the algorithm is O(1), which can meet the real-time calculation requirements of any device and system.
