[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0040] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings:
[0041] As Figure 2 shown, the present invention provides a method for calculating the actual highway traffic capacity under intelligent connected vehicle formations. In the case of the operation of intelligent connected vehicles on a highway, by analyzing the historical intelligent connected vehicle formation data in a section, the probability distribution of vehicle formations with different lengths is determined. And estimate the headway between intelligent connected vehicles in the formation queue and the headway between non-formation connected vehicles, and estimate the actual traffic capacity of vehicles in the case of the existence of intelligent connected vehicle formations;
[0042] Specifically, it includes:
[0043] Step 1. Analyze the formation situation of intelligent connected vehicles running on the road section. There are mixed formations and non - formations of intelligent connected vehicles running on the road section, as well as multiple groups of vehicle formations with different formation lengths; as shown in the appendix Figure 1 . Considering environmental factors such as communication delay and control stability, the maximum allowable formation length is N 0 . According to historical monitoring data, count the formation quantity corresponding to the data number i, time t i , vehicle formation length, average vehicle speed v , head - to - head spacing within the formation i and non - formation head - to - head spacing as shown in Table 1. Among them, when the vehicle formation length is 1, it is the number of intelligent connected vehicles not participating in the formation.
[0044] Table 1
[0045]
[0046] For any set of data i, the sum of vehicles with all formation lengths in the road section is equal to the total number of intelligent connected vehicles N i , that is:
[0047]
[0048] Therefore, for K sets of historical monitoring data, the vehicle formation data set H of the road section can be obtained as H = [H 1 ,..., H K . Among them, the set of data i Among them, the average vehicle speed
[0049] Step 2. Estimate the vehicle distribution with formation length j at a given time according to the historical vehicle formation data set . Use the density - based clustering OPTICS algorithm to group the historical vehicle formation data, and establish a prediction model for each formed cluster data set to predict the vehicle formation length distribution at a given time;
[0050]
[0050] Specifically include:
[0051] Step 21. Group the historical vehicle formation data set according to peak hours and off - peak hours; among them, compare the total number of intelligent connected vehicles N i with the threshold to determine whether it is in peak hours or off - peak hours; when it is peak hours, otherwise it is off - peak hours;
[0052] Step 22: Normalize the historical vehicle formation data set and represent it by the ratio of different formation lengths to the total number of intelligent connected vehicles And convert the time t i (in hours) into the moment t' of the day i ∈[0, 23], then the historical vehicle formation data set changes to the time-series vehicle formation data
[0053] Step 23: For the time-series vehicle formation data, select the Euclidean distance as the clustering similarity metric; for the data Qi m and Qj b , the minimum average error can be expressed as
[0054] Step 24: Considering the scale of the actual data and the uncertainty of the actual number of clustering clusters, use the density clustering OPTICS algorithm to cluster the peak period and the off-peak period respectively. By setting the algorithm parameters, the algorithm parameters are the maximum neighborhood radius ε and the minimum number of samples MinPts in the neighborhood. Cluster the two historical vehicle formation data sets of the peak period and the off-peak period respectively to obtain the clustered historical vehicle formation data set
[0055] Step 25: For each clustered historical vehicle formation data set, use the Bayesian structural time series model to establish a vehicle number state observation structure model for the formation length j; the vehicle number state observation structure model is specifically as follows: where the matrices Z, T, R are 0-1 matrices, ε t,j and η t are Gaussian error terms
[0056]
[0057] α t+1 = T t α t + R t η t
[0058]
[0059] η t ~N(0, Q t ) (8)
[0060] Step 26: According to the observed historical vehicle formation data, apply the Kalman filter to update the estimated value of the state; use the spike-and-slab method to perform variable selection on the structural model and calculate the regression coefficients
[0061] Step 27: Then use the Bayesian model averaging method to combine and generate at a given time The predicted results below
[0062] Step 3. According to the historical vehicle formation data set Estimate the headway at ultra-high speed (i.e., the average vehicle speed );
[0063] Specifically, it includes:
[0064] Step 31. According to the historical headway data under non-ultra-high speed (v i ≤120 km / h), use Gaussian Naive Bayes to predict the headway L between the connected vehicles in the formation queue and the headway L between non-formation connected vehicles 0 ; among them, non-formation vehicles include the leading vehicle of the vehicle formation queue and the connected vehicle in front, two connected vehicles on the road that are not in the formation queue, etc. 3
[0065] Step 32. Calculate the average headway under ultra-high speed conditions, and estimate the actual highway capacity; the length of the i-th group of vehicle formations is Then the average headway The calculation formula is:
[0066]
[0067] Among them, the total number of connected vehicles Can be expressed as
[0068] Step 4. Based on the average headway And the average vehicle speed, calculate the actual highway capacity of the vehicle formation under ultra-high speed conditions; among them, the calculation formula of the actual highway capacity is:
[0069]
[0070] At the same time, the correction coefficient f of the formation length is the ratio of the actual capacity C to the reference capacity C p , and the calculation is as follows:
[0071]
[0072] In practical applications, different average vehicle speeds can be selected to calculate the correction coefficient, and the actual capacity can be calculated conveniently through a list.
[0073] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
