[0002] In recent years, connected vehicle (IoV) and autonomous driving technologies have developed rapidly, and the application prospects of connected autonomous vehicles (ICVs) in transportation systems are becoming increasingly broad. In merging scenarios on multi-lane highway entrance ramps, vehicles must merge smoothly and safely from the ramp onto the main road. This process is crucial for traffic efficiency and safety. Traditional traffic management methods, which rely primarily on static signal control and fixed-cycle scheduling, are difficult to adapt to complex traffic conditions, especially when dealing with mixed traffic flows, lacking flexibility and real-time adjustment capabilities.

[0003] In mixed traffic flows, the driving behavior of human-driven vehicles (HDVs) is uncertain, while ICVs offer vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication capabilities. Existing methods fail to fully utilize the communication advantages of ICVs, resulting in inefficient vehicle collaborative scheduling and right-of-way allocation in dynamic traffic environments, making it difficult to meet rapidly changing traffic demands. Furthermore, existing scheduling control methods often focus on single-vehicle behavior or static signal control, lacking effective multi-vehicle collaborative scheduling strategies. This is particularly true in on-ramp merging scenarios, where the advantages of roadside collaborative control units are not fully utilized.

[0067] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, as shown in the drawings:

[0068] This embodiment discloses a ramp merging method based on roadside coordinated control in a connected mixed traffic environment, including the following steps:

[0069] Determine the optimal merging point for merging vehicles from the ramp lane to the adjacent main lane and identify potential cooperative vehicles in the main lane;

[0070] Construct a safety and efficiency evaluation model that combines vehicle type and driver response behavior to evaluate and decide on the optimal behavior of cooperative vehicles;

[0071] Combined with the kinematic characteristics of the vehicle, the vehicle's merging trajectory is planned and control commands are generated to achieve trajectory tracking and control of the vehicle during the merging process.

[0072] This invention addresses the challenge of collaborative merging control for intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) in mixed traffic scenarios on multi-lane highways, particularly in entrance ramp merging areas. It aims to achieve multi-vehicle collaborative scheduling and dynamic right-of-way allocation to improve traffic efficiency and safety. This invention enables safe and efficient multi-lane merging control in mixed traffic environments, not only improving traffic efficiency but also significantly reducing the risk of traffic accidents. It provides strong technical support for the popularization and application of ICVs and promotes the development of modern transportation systems towards greater intelligence and efficiency.

[0073] In this implementation, existing expected position search algorithms are first applied. For example, RNNs are used to predict potential vehicle trajectories, combined with A* to plan merging points, and MPC is used to optimize speed control strategies. Alternatively, trajectory prediction based on motion models can be used directly to predict the optimal merging point for ramp vehicles and accurately identify potential cooperating vehicles. By comprehensively considering multiple factors such as vehicle speed, inter-vehicle spacing, and traffic flow density, complex mathematical modeling and intelligent algorithms are used to determine the optimal merging position for ramp vehicles in advance, laying the foundation for subsequent coordinated control.

[0074] Among them, the expected position search aims to determine the expected position of the merging vehicle (MV) merging from the ramp lane to the adjacent main lane and assign tasks to the cooperative vehicle (CV) on the main lane.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, at a certain moment, the cooperative vehicle V on the main lane in the potential merging area candidate (t) is:

[0076] V candidate (t) = {j|x j (t)≤x MV (t)+L comm ∧x j (t)≥x MV (t)-L comm};

[0077] Among them, x j (t) and x MV (t) represent the longitudinal positions of vehicle j and the merging vehicle at time t, L comm is the communication range length.

[0078] The predicted longitudinal distance of vehicle j at time t is determined according to the following formula:

[0079]

[0080] Among them, x merge\_start is the vertical coordinate of the starting point of the confluence area, x j (t) represents the longitudinal position of vehicle j at time t, v j (t) is the speed of vehicle j at time t, It is the predicted time for the merging vehicle to reach the starting point of the merging area at its current speed.

[0081] when and When , it indicates that vehicle j and its rear vehicle j+1 are located downstream and upstream of the starting point of the merging area, respectively. At this time, vehicle j is determined to be the leading cooperative vehicle, and its rear vehicle j+1 is determined to be the rear cooperative vehicle.

[0082] The minimum safety distance constraints between the front cooperative vehicle (LCV) and the rear cooperative vehicle (RCV) are set as follows:

[0083]

[0084] in, and are the minimum acceptable distances between the front and rear cooperative vehicles at time t, respectively, and are calculated as follows:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, v MV (t) and v RCV (t) are the speeds of the merging vehicle and the following cooperative vehicle at time t, is the minimum time interval for collaborative merging.

[0087] When the above constraints are not met, the rear cooperative vehicle or the front cooperative vehicle needs to be adjusted according to the safety efficiency evaluation model to ensure that the merging vehicles can merge safely.

[0088] In this embodiment, a carefully designed safety and efficiency assessment model, combined with vehicle type and driver response behavior, evaluates and determines the optimal behavior for vehicles in the main lane. This model intelligently determines whether vehicles in the main lane need to change lanes or adjust their operating status, providing precise and optimal guidance for these vehicles, ensuring efficient and safe traffic flow.

[0089] Among them, the safety efficiency evaluation model is used to determine the best choice of cooperative vehicles (CVs) between maintaining longitudinal driving and changing lanes to optimize the merging process.

Normalize and get the normalized value for Similarly, the normalized values ​​of other safety indicators can be obtained.

[0106] In addition, according to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle, the maximum acceleration value of the cooperative vehicle is set. a 6m / s 2 , then the acceleration of the cooperative vehicle at the current moment is Normalized value for Similarly, the acceleration of the cooperative vehicle at the previous moment Normalized value

[0107] For the weight coefficients: α, β, γ, ζ, η, among which α is used to measure the impact of safety. The more negative it is, the more attention it pays to safety. α = -0.6; β reflects the impact of the acceleration change of the following vehicle on the stability of the system. β = 0.3; γ represents the current vehicle's own acceleration benefit. γ = 0.3; ζ represents the comfort impact caused by the acceleration mutation. ζ = -0.2; η represents the impact of the local traffic efficiency benefit. η = 0.2.

[0108] E local\_efficiency (t) is the local efficiency evaluation index, which is the ratio of the average speed to the expected speed under multi-vehicle cooperation; the local efficiency evaluation index E is determined according to the following formula local\_efficiency (t):

[0109]

[0110] Where N is the total number of vehicles in the cooperative area, v i (t) is the speed of vehicle i at time t, v desired (t) is the desired speed.

[0114] Among them, TT safe TT is the time it takes for the rear vehicle to collide with the front vehicle if it continues to travel at the current speed and acceleration. min The safety threshold is set;

[0115] In the multi-vehicle collaboration scenario, a local maximum efficiency evaluation constraint is set, that is, the efficiency constraint is:

[0116] E local\_efficiency (t)≥E min ;

[0117] Among them, E min is the set minimum efficiency threshold.

[0118] Then, the cooperative vehicle selects the behavior with higher utility according to the value of the safety efficiency evaluation function, namely:

[0119]

[0120] In this embodiment, the Roadside Cooperative Control Unit (RCCU) plays a central role in the entire control process. The RCCU periodically senses the surrounding traffic environment, collects vehicle status information in real time, and performs efficient data processing and calculations. Based on this collected data and pre-set control logic, it generates corresponding control instructions and promptly broadcasts these instructions to the relevant vehicles. This periodic, unified planning and instruction distribution mechanism ensures the coordinated and stable operation of the entire transportation system.
