Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of intelligent transportation, and in particular relates to a traffic light signal control system and method based on vehicle-to-infrastructure cooperation. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous growth of the number of motor vehicles in cities, the pressure on urban road traffic is increasing, and problems such as traffic congestion, low traffic efficiency, and high energy consumption are becoming increasingly prominent. In order to alleviate the above problems, the traditional traffic light signal control system has gradually developed towards intelligence and self-adaptation. Some existing systems make dynamic adjustments to traffic light timing to a certain extent by sensing traffic flow changes and combining historical data prediction, which has improved the traffic operation condition to a certain extent. However, most of these systems still take single intersection as the control object, lack regional coordination optimization capability, and cannot effectively deal with the chain congestion problem caused by high-density and strong-coupling road network structure.
[0003] In recent years, the development of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology has provided a new breakthrough for urban traffic intelligence. By interconnecting road infrastructure, edge computing units, and vehicle terminals, more accurate and real-time dynamic perception of traffic status can be achieved, providing high-precision input conditions for traffic control systems. At the same time, the acquisition of vehicle path intention and other driving behavior information also provides new data support for predicting traffic evolution trends and optimizing control strategies.
[0004] Although some existing research has attempted to introduce vehicle-to-infrastructure information into the signal timing control model, there are still the following deficiencies: (1) Most control methods rely on rule libraries or heuristic strategies, making it difficult to handle timing linkage and strategy conflicts between multiple intersections; (2) There is a lack of modeling of traffic state uncertainty, especially in fast-changing and high-noise environments, with poor control stability; (3) The path intention information uploaded by the vehicle terminal is not fully utilized to guide the timing strategy, and the overall traffic efficiency and individual vehicle experience cannot be considered; (4) The timing strategy lacks a systematic modeling and optimization mechanism for regional synchronization characteristics such as green wave coordination and cycle offset.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an intelligent traffic light signal control system that can integrate vehicle-to-infrastructure data, consider traffic state uncertainty, and adapt to the structure of multiple intersections in cities, in order to achieve global coordination, adaptive adjustment, and path-level guidance, and comprehensively improve the traffic efficiency and traffic safety of urban road networks.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0028] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application or the prior art, the drawings needed in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the application, and other drawings can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor.
[0029] Figure 1 is a system block diagram of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The application is described below in conjunction with the drawings and the detailed description.
[0031] The embodiment solves the above problems by the following steps:
[0032] In one embodiment, with reference to Figure 1 The application provides a traffic light signal control system based on vehicle-road cooperation, which uses a real-time communication mechanism between road infrastructure and vehicle-mounted equipment to realize a multi-source traffic state perception, intelligent traffic strategy game decision and dynamic signal timing control intelligent traffic control system. Specifically, the system includes the following modules:
[0033] A traffic information perception and graph modeling module is used to deploy edge control units at multiple intersections, construct a city road network graph model with intersections as nodes and roads as edges, and collect real-time traffic state data at each intersection and vehicle dynamic data uploaded by vehicle-mounted terminals.
[0034] The traffic information perception and graph modeling module collects real-time traffic state data at the intersection through various traffic perception devices deployed at the intersection, such as traffic cameras, geomagnetic detectors, radar sensors, microwave vehicle detectors, etc. The traffic state data includes but is not limited to:
[0035] The instantaneous number of vehicles passing through each direction lane;
[0036] The average length and waiting time of the queued vehicles on each lane;
[0037] The current phase, cycle and historical timing record of the traffic light in the intersection;
[0038] The road environment state (such as whether there is construction, whether there is traffic restriction, current weather, etc.);
[0039] The module also acquires real-time vehicle dynamic information through a V2I communication interface with the vehicle-mounted terminal, and the vehicle dynamic data includes:
[0040] The current position coordinates (GPS, Beidou) of the vehicle, instantaneous speed;
[0041] The set navigation destination and expected path intention (straight, left turn, right turn, etc.) of the vehicle;
[0042] The predicted arrival time and historical driving trajectory segment of the vehicle;
[0043] If it is a public vehicle or a logistics vehicle, it can also include its task priority information.
[0044] Based on the above multi-source data, the module models the urban traffic system as a heterogeneous graph structure, wherein:
[0045] The nodes represent various intersections, and each node is associated with its current traffic state vector;
[0046] The edges represent the road connection relationship between adjacent intersections, and the edge attributes can include road length, traffic capacity, average travel time, historical congestion coefficient, etc.;
[0047] If necessary, vehicle intention path prediction results can also be introduced to construct traffic flow prediction channel weights on the graph structure to assist path-level signal scheduling modeling.
[0048] By establishing the urban road network graph model, the system can perform traffic state propagation analysis based on spatial topology, strategy game modeling and signal timing strategy generation on the graph structure, significantly improving the regional coordination and overall traffic efficiency of traffic light control strategies.
[0049] In a specific implementation example, taking a certain urban intersection "Intersection A" as an example, the intersection is deployed with an edge computing unit and a multi-modal perception device:
[0050] The traffic perception system detects that the eastbound lane queue exceeds 80 meters, with an average waiting time of 90 seconds;
[0051] The path intention information uploaded by the vehicle terminal indicates that about 60% of the vehicles plan to continue straight after crossing the intersection to go to Intersection B, and there is a short-term bottleneck on the road;
[0052] The system accordingly sets the edge between A and B in the graph model as a high-weight traffic path, and accordingly allocates higher priority to the green light timing for this direction in the game model;
[0053] Thus, intelligent timing control is realized under the support of path-level and graph structure.
[0054] The fuzzy game strategy generation module is configured to construct a set of traffic light timing strategies based on real-time traffic state data of the intersection, define a fuzzy utility function for each candidate traffic light timing strategy, determine vehicle intention based on vehicle dynamic data, determine the fuzzy factor of the fuzzy utility function based on the vehicle intention, and weight the fuzzy membership degree of the traffic light timing strategy.
[0055] The fuzzy game strategy generation module specifically includes:
[0056] The strategy candidate generation submodule:
[0057] This submodule automatically generates a set of feasible traffic light timing strategies based on the topological structure of the intersection (such as three-phase, four-phase, and five-phase intersections), traffic flow data, and historical timing parameters, denoted as:
[0058] A = {a1, a2, …, an} m}
[0059] where each strategy a m The following information elements are defined:
[0060] T i : total signal cycle length (unit: seconds);
[0061] g ij : green time of the jth traffic phase in strategy a i
[0062] r ij : red time;
[0063] y ij : yellow time;
[0064] s ij : adjacent phase interval time (e.g. safety transition time between right-turn green and opposite straight green);
[0065] φ i : execution order of phases in this strategy (e.g. "straight→left→right").
[0066] The generation of strategy set can be based on the following methods:
[0067] Manual setting: based on the experience of managers;
[0068] Rule base method: predefine experience timing strategies (e.g. "balanced scheme", "straight priority scheme", "high flow priority scheme", etc.);
[0069] Adaptive generation method: dynamically combine strategies according to the current cycle traffic state (e.g. extend the green time of the phase with long queue);
[0070] Genetic / reinforcement learning method: learn optimal strategy combination from historical timing results.
[0071] The specific strategy is not the focus of the present application, and those skilled in the art can use any of the above methods to implement the strategy set and update it appropriately.
[0072] All strategies must satisfy the road traffic safety constraints:
[0073] g ij ≥ g min (minimum green time should not be less than the relevant provisions);
[0074] g ij + y ij + s ij ≤ Ti
[0075] The conflict phase cannot be released at the same time.
[0076] Fuzzy utility index construction and membership function design submodule:
[0077] To evaluate the effect of candidate strategy a i , we need to define the fuzzy utility function μ i to describe the degree of adaptation of the strategy to the current traffic state.
[0078] Specifically, the fuzzy evaluation index includes:
[0079] Average waiting time
[0080] Maximum queue length Q i = max j (q j )
[0081] Traffic flow rate
[0082] Direction saturation
[0083] Where f ij is the phase flow, and c ij is the maximum release capacity of the channel.
[0084] Map each index through the fuzzy membership function to [0, 1] (traffic flow rate and direction saturation do not need to be mapped):
[0085] For the average waiting time
[0086]
[0087] For the maximum queue length
[0088]
[0089] Then combine into a fuzzy utility vector:
[0090]
[0091] Vehicle intention-driven fuzzy factor extraction submodule:
[0092] This submodule is responsible for statistical modeling and proportional modeling of path intention information uploaded by the vehicle terminal, and then generating direction weighted fuzzy factors.
[0093] The intersection has 3 types of directions: left turn (L), straight (S), and right turn (R). In this period:
[0094] n L ,n S ,n R : number of vehicles in three directions;
[0095] N = n L + n S + n R : total number of vehicles;
[0096] Then the intention ratio is:
[0097]
[0098] To improve the weight of the main traffic direction in fuzzy evaluation, introduce fuzzy factor θ k , defined as:
[0099] The basic weight is 1, and the maximum enhancement coefficient is κ, where 1.0 ≤ κ ≤ 2.0
[0100] A specific calculation example:
[0101] p L = 0.2, p S = 0.6, p R = 0.2
[0102] κ = 1.5
[0103] θ S = 1.5, θ L = θ R ≈ 1.133
[0104] Fuzzy utility function weighted integration and strategy score sub-module:
[0105] Used to combine the direction weighting factor and fuzzy index value, update the weighted fuzzy utility function of strategy a i :
[0106]
[0107] Where:
[0108] μ jk (a i ) represents the membership value of the jth fuzzy index in the kth direction;
[0109] w jk represents the weight in direction k;
[0110] θ k represents the direction fuzzy factor (vehicle intention decision).
[0111] Further, it can be simplified to matrix form for fast parallel calculation.
[0112] All strategy final scores Sequence of construction, for sorting screening.
[0113] In a specific calculation example:
[0114] Current cycle statistics: 50 left turns, 200 straight, 50 right turns;
[0115] The intention distribution ratio is: p L = 0.167, p S = 0.667, p R = 0.167;
[0116] Let the maximum fuzzy weight promotion coefficient κ = 1.5;
[0117] θ S = 1.5, θ L = θ R ≈ 1.125
[0118] Fuzzy scores are given to the three strategies, assuming the membership vectors are as follows:
[0119] Strategy number μ W ]]> μ Q ]]> μ T ]]> μ S ]]> μ final ]]> a1 0.6 0.5 0.7 0.6 0.65 a2 0.7 0.4 0.8 0.75 0.73 (highest) a3 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.5 0.62
[0120] The final strategy a2 is pushed to the fuzzy game solving module to participate in the Nash equilibrium iteration process.
[0121] Game optimization and traffic light control module, for calling fuzzy game solving mechanism according to the adjacency relationship between intersections in the city road network graph model and the change range of traffic light timing parameters, obtaining the optimal traffic light control strategy that meets the fuzzy Nash equilibrium condition, and outputting the adjustment parameters of traffic light duration for the current cycle.
[0122] This module receives the following inputs:
[0123] City traffic road network graph G = (V, E) from the traffic information perception and graph modeling module
[0124] The candidate traffic light control strategy set of each intersection v i
[0125] The fuzzy utility value μ i (a ij ) of each candidate strategy, including the direction weighted fuzzy factor correction;
[0126] Connection information between each node and adjacent nodes, i.e. adjacent set N(v i );
[0127] The traffic state vector s i of each node in the current cycle, including queue length, waiting time, intention distribution, etc.
[0128] Further fuzzy game environment construction
[0129] Game modeling objects include:
[0130] Each intersection v i ∈V is a game player;
[0131] Each player v i selects a control strategy a i from the strategy set A i in the current control period;
[0132] The strategy combination of all nodes is denoted as a={a1,a2,...,a n};
[0133] The strategy influence relationship network between nodes is established through the graph structure E.
[0134] The joint fuzzy utility function of each node v i is denoted as:
[0135]
[0136] Wherein:
[0137] is the fuzzy utility of node v i for its own strategy a i ;
[0138] is the adjacent coordination penalty function between strategies;
[0139] λ is the coordination factor (0≤λ≤1);
[0140] a N(i) is the current strategy combination of adjacent nodes.
[0141] The adjacent coordination penalty function is determined in the following way according to the adjacent condition:
[0142] Method one, time offset conflict degree
[0143] Let T i (a i ) represent the total control period of strategy a i , if the period difference of two adjacent nodes v i ,v j is too large, it is easy to cause vehicle crosstalk, then:
[0144] Ψ1(a i ,a j )=|T i (a i )-Tj (a j )|
[0145] Method two: green wave band misalignment penalty
[0146] Let δ ij be the recommended green wave band propagation delay from v i to v j , if v j does not open the traffic phase on time, causing queue accumulation, then
[0147] Ψ2(a i ,a j ) = |green start time j - (green end time i + δ ij )|
[0148] After determining the above conditions, the fuzzy Nash equilibrium strategy mechanism is solved, and the purpose is to find the strategy combination
[0149]
[0150] such that for any node v i :
[0151]
[0152] For each node v i , the initial selection is the strategy with the highest fuzzy utility.
[0153] Optimal response updates are performed for all nodes in turn:
[0154]
[0155] All node strategies are stable, that is:
[0156] a (t+1) = a (t)
[0157] Converge to an approximate fuzzy Nash equilibrium when
[0158] Once the optimal strategy combination a * is determined, the system will:
[0159] Analyze the intersection strategy corresponding parameter set, including:
[0160] Each traffic phase green time;
[0161] Phase release order;
[0162] Total cycle length;
[0163] Green wave band time offset of adjacent intersections.
[0164] At the same time, the parameters are verified for boundary legality:
[0165] The green light must not be shorter than the minimum safe travel time;
[0166] Adjacent phases are not in conflict;
[0167] The cycle must not exceed the system maximum cycle limit (such as 180s);
[0168] Finally, the specific adjustment parameters are obtained.
[0169] A vehicle intention analysis and path guidance module is configured to receive vehicle dynamic data uploaded by a vehicle terminal, real-time traffic state data and game solving results, identify target vehicles that can still reach the destination as needed after changing the path intention, generate a detour suggestion for path guidance based on the game solving results, and push the suggestion to the corresponding vehicle.
[0170] The unit is configured to receive vehicle dynamic data uploaded by a vehicle terminal in real time through a V2I communication link, including but not limited to the following fields:
[0171] p v (t): current position coordinates of the vehicle (GPS);
[0172] v v (t): instantaneous speed of the vehicle;
[0173] θ v (t): heading angle of the vehicle;
[0174] Destination coordinates (obtained through a navigation system);
[0175] π v (t): vehicle path planning trajectory (which can be represented as a sequence of intersections);
[0176] Expected arrival time at each intersection;
[0177] κ v : vehicle category (such as ordinary car, bus, rescue vehicle, etc.).
[0178] On the basis of the above data, the unit combines with the city road network graph G=(V, E) to identify the vehicle path intention:
[0179] Extract the set of vehicles V i that plan to pass through the intersection v i in the current cycle;
[0180] For each vehicle v, according to its path trajectory v (t) derive its passing direction intention at intersection v i :
[0181] σ v (v i ) ∈ {left turn, straight, right turn}
[0182] The above results are used to support fuzzy game strategy weighting and subsequent guidance judgment.
[0183] To avoid pushing path adjustment suggestions to all vehicles, the system only identifies vehicles that can be guided to change the passing path but can still successfully reach the original destination, forming a target vehicle set V target The specific method is as follows:
[0184] For each vehicle v, if its original path trajectory is:
[0185]
[0186] The system searches all feasible alternative path sets from the current position p v (t):
[0187]
[0188] And calculates the estimated cost (such as predicted time, traffic load, etc.) of each path:
[0189]
[0190] If there is satisfying:
[0191]
[0192] And the traffic light strategy of the intersection contained in the current period has better passing conditions (such as high green light release probability), the vehicle is included in the target vehicle set.
[0193] Based on the game optimization and the optimal traffic light timing strategy combination output by the traffic light control module in the current period
[0194]
[0195] Select the path scheme with the maximum passing guarantee degree from the alternative paths.
[0196] The calculation method is as follows:
[0197] For each path , count the control strategy coordination degree of the intersection it passes through:
[0198]
[0199] The ranking index is constructed by comprehensively considering the path cost and the coordination degree:
[0200]
[0201] The path with the highest index value is selected as the recommended path
[0202] The system generates a structured path adjustment suggestion for each target vehicle, including:
[0203] Recommended path trajectory (intersection sequence or navigation route segment);
[0204] Estimated time saving;
[0205] Comparison and analysis of the current traffic direction and the recommended direction;
[0206] Whether there is a green wave passing interval;
[0207] Behavioral suggestions (such as "maintain current speed, change lane into right turn lane after 3 seconds").
[0208] Specific examples are:
[0209] During the morning rush hour in a city, intersections A, B, and C form a congestion bottleneck on a main road. The original path of the vehicle is A→B→C→D, and the estimated time is 17 minutes.
[0210] Traffic game results show that the traffic light release time at C is insufficient, which is prone to queue accumulation;
[0211] The alternative path A→E→F→D can pass through multiple green wave release intersections in the current period;
[0212] The system judges that C(π alt ) = 16.5 min ≤ 17 + ε;
[0213] Guide the vehicle to turn right into E road in advance to avoid the bottleneck at C intersection.
[0214] Finally, the system pushes the path adjustment suggestion to the vehicle and prompts it: "It is recommended to turn right in advance to avoid the high congestion intersection C on E road, and it is estimated to save 1.2 minutes."
[0215] Traffic light instruction execution module, for receiving the traffic light adjustment parameters output by the game optimization and traffic light control module, and issuing the adjustment parameters to the traffic light controllers of each intersection to realize the update of the traffic light state.
[0216] This module mainly includes the following functions:
[0217] I. Control parameter receiving function
[0218] The module receives traffic light timing parameters output by upstream modules of the system, which include:
[0219] total duration of the current control cycle;
[0220] green light time, yellow light time and red light time of each traffic phase;
[0221] the order of each phase;
[0222] optional offset time, coordination control information, etc.
[0223] These parameters are generated by the system according to traffic flow state, vehicle intention information and multi-intersection coordination strategy, and represent the optimal traffic light release scheme for the current period.
[0224] II. Instruction conversion and formatting function
[0225] In order to ensure that the timing strategy can be correctly recognized and executed by the actual traffic light controller, the module analyzes and formats the received control parameters to generate standard control instructions. The instruction format can be adapted according to the brand and protocol requirements of the traffic controller, and common formats include structured data files (such as JSON or XML) or control code instruction sets.
[0226] The module also checks the legality of the parameters, such as whether the green light time meets the minimum release requirement, whether the total cycle time exceeds the upper limit of the controller, etc.
[0227] III. Communication delivery function
[0228] The module sends the formatted control instructions to the traffic light controller deployed at the intersection through the communication interface. The communication method can be serial communication, Ethernet communication, 4G / 5G cellular communication or Internet of Things communication, etc., which is determined according to the controller model and deployment environment.
[0229] The module supports batch delivery, timed delivery, multicast delivery, etc. to meet the control needs of different scale road networks.
[0230] In another embodiment, the present application also provides a traffic light signal control method based on car-road cooperation, which uses the aforementioned embodiment to control the traffic light signal.
