Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of connected vehicle traffic control, specifically a method for dynamic short-term lane control of vehicles turning and making U-turns in a connected environment. Background Technology

[0002] In a connected environment, vehicles can communicate with each other, with infrastructure, and with the network in real time. This connected environment provides the foundation for dynamic short-term lane control, especially when vehicles are turning or making U-turns. Dynamic short-term lane control is a set of techniques used to temporarily adjust traffic flow control measures in response to short-term fluctuations in traffic demand.

[0003] Traditional turning and U-turn methods often struggle to adapt to instantaneous changes in traffic flow, thus limiting the efficiency and safety of road networks. In a connected environment, vehicles and infrastructure can exchange data in real time, including information such as location, speed, direction of travel, and headway. This information exchange enables more flexible and intelligent traffic management. For example, a connected traffic control system can use real-time data to determine when and where vehicles are permitted to turn and make U-turns, thereby optimizing traffic flow and reducing conflicts.

The central authorities coordinate to give way, maintaining a short-term vehicle-free lane; proceed to step 9; Step 8: Construct a short-term channel. t The target vehicle must make a U-turn within the short-term lane to enter lane 2, and then change lanes to lane 1; Step 8.1: Calculate the duration of the short-time channel using equations (9) to (11). ,long ,Width Among them, width The center point is the center point of the front of the target vehicle when making a U-turn; (9) (10) (11) In equation (9), The U-turn radius for the target vehicle to turn into lane 2. The inner radius of the target vehicle turning into the second lane. The outer radius of the target vehicle turning around to the second lane. The minimum outer radius for the target vehicle to make a U-turn into the second lane; Step 8.2: Calculate the number of road bollards to be lowered using formula (12). Thus, under the control of roadside intelligent transportation equipment, t Automatically lowered with the front of the target vehicle as the center. Each bollard provides space for the target vehicle to turn around; (12) Step 8.3: Within the short-term lane provided by the descending bollard, the target vehicle makes a U-turn and enters the second lane. Simultaneously, vehicles approaching in the second lane outside the short-term lane receive the target vehicle's U-turn signal and, within a specified time... The central authorities coordinated to give way in order to keep the lanes clear of vehicles for a short period of time; Step 8.4 t The target vehicle coordinates with the vehicle in lane 1, and after changing lanes to lane 1, proceed to step 9; Step 9 t The control operation ends when the target vehicle turns right into its destination in lane 1.
