[0002] With the high-quality development of China's social economy and the increasing demand for transportation, expressways, as an important part of comprehensive transportation hubs, provide a major channel for medium and long-distance transportation. However, the increasing demand for travel has made the traffic environment increasingly complex, and traffic flow management is facing severe challenges. In particular, when the road is temporarily maintained or a traffic accident occurs, the number of available lanes on the expressway is reduced, and it is urgent to design reasonable traffic flow control measures to deal with abnormal events. The development of intelligent connected driving technology provides an opportunity for the development of reasonable control measures and provides a new direction for the development of traffic efficiency. However, before the implementation of intelligent connected driving technology in the entire road network, a mixed flow of manually driven vehicles and intelligent connected vehicles will exist for a long time, and the uncertainty of the movement behavior of manually driven vehicles will bring new challenges to the development of control measures.

Variable speed limit control is to dynamically calculate the optimal speed limit value of vehicles in the control area according to the real-time traffic flow state, but the compliance rate of the driver will greatly affect the control effect. The development of intelligent connected driving technology provides favorable conditions for efficient and precise implementation of variable speed limit control. In a mixed flow environment, how to indirectly guide the movement behavior of manually driven vehicles by taking advantage of the controllability, safety, and sensitivity of intelligent connected vehicles to optimize the implementation effect of variable speed limit control is the key to improving the traffic efficiency and safety of vehicles in the bottleneck area.

[0051] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar parts or the same or similar steps.

[0052] Since the existing intelligent network connected driving technology has not fully covered the road network, the mixed flow composed of manual driving vehicles and intelligent network connected vehicles will exist for a long time, and the uncertainty of the moving behavior of manual driving vehicles will bring new challenges to the development of control measures. In order to solve this technical problem and improve the operation efficiency and safety of the entire control system, the present application provides a kind of intelligent network connected vehicle speed calculation method considering the passing fairness of bottleneck area, as shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps S101-S104:

[0053] Step S101: set a statistical period, and count the traffic flow of the abnormal event point in the set historical period to the current time; determine the passing capacity of the bottleneck area formed by the abnormal event according to the traffic flow; set a flow limiting area and a speed coordination area on the upstream of the bottleneck area according to the scale of the abnormal event. One side of the speed coordination area is the bottleneck area, and the other side is the flow limiting area.

[0054] Step S102: count the vehicle moving information in the flow limiting area and the speed coordination area, calculate the average passing speed and traffic density of the vehicles in the flow limiting area, and calculate the average passing speed and traffic density of the vehicles in the speed coordination area.

[0055] Step S103: in the flow limiting area, the current traffic demand is calculated according to the average passing speed and traffic density of the vehicles in the flow limiting area, and the speed of the intelligent network connected vehicle is adjusted by comparing the size of the traffic demand and the passing capacity of the bottleneck area.

[0056] Step S104: in the speed coordination zone, when the number of queued vehicles in the lane where the abnormal event occurs reaches the preset number, the speed of the vehicle in the lane where the abnormal event occurs is compared with the speed of the vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the intelligent connected vehicle on the corresponding lane is decelerated according to the preset deceleration rule.

[0057] The application provides an intelligent connected vehicle speed calculation method considering the passing fairness of a bottleneck area, so as to match the inflow of the bottleneck area with the passing capacity thereof, build a flow limiting area and a speed coordination area upstream of the bottleneck, build an intelligent connected vehicle speed solving method, directly control the micro driving behavior of the intelligent connected vehicle, guide the movement of the manually driven vehicle, and improve the operation efficiency and safety of the whole system.

[0058] Specifically,

[0059] In step S101, a statistical period is preset, such as the past one hour or three hours, the traffic flow of the abnormal event point in the set historical period to the current time is counted by using a device such as a traffic detector, and is recorded to the corresponding traffic flow set respectively, and the change characteristics of the traffic flow near the bottleneck point after the incident are analyzed, so as to determine the passing capacity of the bottleneck area after the incident.

[0060] Further, according to the scale of the abnormal event, the propagation distance of the congestion wave is estimated, and the control area range is determined, the control area is set upstream of the bottleneck area, and the control area includes a functionally different flow limiting area and a speed coordination area, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, one side of the speed coordination area is the bottleneck area, and the other side is the flow limiting area, wherein the rounded rectangle represents a vehicle, the white filled rounded rectangle represents a manually driven vehicle, and the gray filled rounded rectangle represents an intelligent connected vehicle.

[0061] In step S102, the vehicle movement information in the control area is first counted.

[0062] In some embodiments, the vehicle movement trajectory in the set control area is captured by using a device such as a traffic detector, including the passing speed and position of the vehicle in different lanes in the flow limiting area and the speed coordination area, and the number of queued vehicles in the lane where the abnormal event occurs in the speed coordination area is counted.

[0063] According to the counted vehicle movement information, the average passing speed and the traffic density of the vehicle in the flow limiting area and the speed coordination area are calculated respectively.

[0064] In step S103, the application analyzes the traffic demand characteristics based on the traffic state in the flow limiting area after the abnormal event, so as to control the average passing speed of the vehicle in the flow limiting area, and further control the traffic flow flowing into the speed coordination area, so as to match the real-time passing capacity near the bottleneck.

[0065] In the flow restriction zone, according to the vehicle average speed and the traffic density calculated in step S102, the current traffic demand is calculated, and the calculation formula can be shown as formula (1):

[0066]

[0067] wherein, denotes the traffic demand of the flow restriction zone at time t; denotes the vehicle average speed of the flow restriction zone at time t; denotes the traffic density of the flow restriction zone at time t.

[0068] In order to match the real-time traffic demand with the passing capacity of the bottleneck, the relationship between the traffic demand and the passing capacity of the bottleneck is compared, if the traffic demand is greater than the passing capacity of the bottleneck, the flow restriction zone reduces the moving speed of the intelligent connected vehicle to reduce the traffic flow under the premise of ensuring safety; if the traffic demand is less than the passing capacity of the bottleneck, the flow restriction zone needs to increase the moving speed of the intelligent connected vehicle to reduce the traffic flow under the premise of ensuring safety; if the traffic demand is equal to the passing capacity of the bottleneck, the intelligent driving model (IDM) rule is used to update the vehicle speed.

[0069] In some embodiments, in the flow restriction zone, when determining the passing speed of the individual intelligent connected vehicle, first, the intelligent connected vehicle speed limit value of the flow restriction zone is calculated according to the passing capacity of the bottleneck zone and the traffic density of the flow restriction zone, and the calculation formula is shown as formula (2):

[0070]

[0071] wherein, denotes the intelligent connected vehicle speed limit value of the flow restriction zone at time t; denotes the passing capacity of the bottleneck zone at time t; denotes the traffic density of the flow restriction zone at time t.

[0072] Secondly, the speed of the intelligent connected vehicle is determined under the condition of ensuring safety.

[0073] In some embodiments, the speed of the intelligent connected vehicle is set with a safety constraint condition, wherein the constraint condition includes that the speed change rate of the vehicle itself in the flow restriction zone is less than the maximum acceleration and the vehicle maintains a safe distance from the front vehicle. The calculation method follows formulas (3)-(5):

[0074]

[0075] wherein, denotes the speed of vehicle i at time t; a max denotes the maximum acceleration; represents the position of vehicle i at time t; h min represents the minimum safe headway between vehicles; L represents the average vehicle length; Δt represents the time step; represents the acceleration of vehicle i at time t.

[0076] In some embodiments, when considering that the target vehicle maintains a safe distance from the preceding vehicle, when the preceding vehicle of the target intelligent connected vehicle is a manually driven vehicle, a microscopic traffic flow model is introduced to determine the acceleration, speed, and position of the manually driven vehicle, specifically in accordance with the following formulas (6) and (7):

[0077]

[0078] in, represents the acceleration of the manually driven car at time t; a max represents the maximum acceleration; u represents the free flow speed; represents the speed of the manually driven car at time t; Indicates the desired headway; represents the speed difference between the target intelligent connected vehicle and the preceding manually driven vehicle; s0 represents the safe headway; h min represents the expected headway; b represents the maximum deceleration.

[0079] Based on the above description, it can be seen that for intelligent connected vehicles in traffic-restricted areas, the actual travel speed is determined based on the speed limit value. If the safety conditions are not met, the vehicle passes at the critical speed that meets the safety conditions according to the above relationship.

[0080] In step S104, the present invention optimizes the microscopic trajectories of intelligent connected vehicles within the speed coordination zone, based on controlling vehicle speeds in the flow-restricted zone, to ensure smooth and safe passage through the bottleneck. In particular, vehicles in the lane where the abnormal event occurred must complete a forced lane change to pass through the bottleneck. When a vehicle fails to change lanes, a queue forms at the bottleneck. When vehicles accumulate at the bottleneck and frequently change lanes, this impacts the normal passage of vehicles in other lanes, creating a congestion wave that propagates upstream. Therefore, it is necessary to rationally optimize the microscopic driving behavior of intelligent connected vehicles within the speed coordination zone to coordinate the movement of each vehicle and improve overall traffic efficiency and fairness.

[0081] To reduce the number of vehicles changing lanes at bottlenecks, the speed of vehicles in the incident lane is coordinated with that of vehicles in adjacent lanes, improving fairness in traffic flow across different lanes. In this invention, when the number of vehicles queuing in the incident lane increases, the speed of intelligent connected driving vehicles in other lanes is coordinated to reduce the number of vehicles queuing.

[0082] For vehicles in different lanes, assuming that it is time t-1, the vehicle in the lane where the abnormal event occurs is vehicle i, and its speed is The vehicle in the adjacent lane is j, and its speed is Then, at the next moment, the update of the target vehicle speed follows:

[0083] The update rule for the target vehicle speed in the lane where the abnormal event occurs is:

[0084] When the speed of vehicle i in the lane where the abnormal event occurs is greater than the speed of vehicle j in the adjacent lane, vehicle i needs to decelerate to smoothly complete the mandatory lane change and find the right lane to change. The deceleration rule follows the following algorithm:

[0085] Calculate the first quotient of the speed difference between the two vehicles and the time step, and get The maximum deceleration is denoted as b. When , according to the safety constraints set above, it is determined whether vehicle i can pass safely at the maximum deceleration b. If the safety constraints cannot be met, the intelligent driving model (IDM) rule is used to update its speed; when When , according to the safety constraints set above, it is determined whether vehicle i can The vehicle decelerates to pass safely. If the safety constraints cannot be met, the intelligent driving model (IDM) rules are used to update its speed.

[0086] Update rules for the target vehicle speed in adjacent lanes:

[0087] When the speed of vehicle i in the lane where the abnormal event occurs is lower than that of vehicle j in the adjacent lane, and there is a queue of vehicles in the bottleneck area of ​​the lane where the abnormal event occurs due to lane change failures, vehicle j needs to slow down to increase the lane change success rate of vehicles in the lane where the abnormal event occurs. Similarly, the deceleration rule follows the following algorithm:

[0088] Calculate the first quotient of the speed difference between the two vehicles and the time step, and get The maximum deceleration is denoted as b. When , the speed of vehicle j is updated to the speed of vehicle i Otherwise, the intelligent driving model (IDM) rule is used to update its speed.

[0089] When the speed of the vehicle in the lane where the abnormal event occurs is equal to the speed of the vehicle in its adjacent lane, the intelligent driving model (IDM) rule is used to update its speed.

[0090] The present invention will be further described below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0091] In order to verify the effectiveness of the intelligent networked driving vehicle speed calculation method proposed in the application, the intelligent networked vehicle and the artificial driving vehicle moving characteristics are integrated to construct a microscopic driving simulation system. In the scene without control, the vehicle following behavior of the intelligent networked vehicle and the artificial driving vehicle is described by using the IDM model, and the lane changing behavior is described by using the MOBIL vehicle lane changing model.

[0092] The MOBIL algorithm is shown in formula (8):

[0093]

[0094] wherein, represents the acceleration change amount of the target vehicle after lane changing; represents the acceleration change amount of the adjacent rear vehicle after lane changing of the target vehicle; represents the acceleration change amount of the adjacent rear vehicle before lane changing of the target vehicle; p is the courtesy; and Δa th is an acceleration threshold value for allowing lane changing to be performed, and when the acceleration increment satisfies the lane changing threshold value, lane changing is performed.

[0095] Simulation scene setting: taking a highway scene as an example, refer to Figure 2 , an abnormal event occurs in the outermost lane of the three lanes of the highway, an accident area with a length of 1 km is set, the flow limiting area (1 area) in the control area has a length of 500 meters, the speed coordination area (2 area) has a length of 1000 meters, the traffic demand is 3000 vehicles / hour for simulation vehicles moving in the first 5 minutes, and the simulation is performed at a constant speed of 4800 vehicles / hour, a total of 55 minutes of simulation is performed each time, and the data collected during the period of 5 minutes to 50 minutes of simulation is taken for comparison and analysis, and each simulation scene is independently run for 5 times.

[0096] In this embodiment, different intelligent networked driving vehicle ratios (Market Penetration Rates, MPR) are set, and the MPR values are 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9.

[0097] In this embodiment, the vehicle passing efficiency and fairness are analyzed. The efficiency is measured by the average passing time of vehicles passing through a specified area upstream of the bottleneck, and the fairness is quantified by the classical index GINI coefficient.
