Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent transportation, more particularly, to a vehicle cooperative control method for a diverging or merging area. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of population, the transportation industry is facing unprecedented challenges. As an important support for the development of national economy, the demand for transportation is increasing rapidly, especially on the trunk line such as highway, the traffic density is increasing, and the traffic efficiency is decreasing, which has become a prominent problem to be solved.
[0003] In the highway network, the traffic conditions at the continuous diverging or merging bottlenecks such as hub interchanges and ramps are particularly complex. These areas are prone to reduce the efficiency of the trunk line due to frequent interweaving, merging and exiting of vehicles, and further have a chain reaction on the entire road network, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. For example, during the morning and evening peak hours or holiday travel peaks, the diverging or merging areas of the highway often appear vehicle congestion, causing the rear vehicles to queue for several kilometers, seriously affecting the normal traffic of the road.
[0004] In view of the above traffic problems, the existing technology mainly adopts two strategies. One is to deploy a large number of roadside sensors and communication devices, trying to monitor and manage traffic flow comprehensively and in real time. However, this method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, large-scale deployment of devices requires a huge amount of investment, including device purchase costs, device installation and maintenance, and subsequent upgrade costs, which is a heavy economic burden for many transportation management departments. On the other hand, due to the limitations of infrastructure conditions in some areas, such as remote mountainous areas or old roads, it is difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale deployment of devices, which greatly limits the practical application of this method.
[0005] The other strategy is to deploy devices only in key areas such as ramps and diverging or merging areas. Although this way reduces the cost to some extent, it also brings new problems. Since vehicles can only receive traffic information and control information when they approach these key areas, there is a significant "lag" in information transmission. For example, when a vehicle approaches a diverging or merging area, it learns about the congestion ahead, and by then it is often too late to take action, making it difficult to effectively avoid congestion and fundamentally solve the problem of vehicle congestion. In addition, in the continuous ramps and diverging or merging areas, only a single area is controlled, and the traffic efficiency that can be improved is limited. Because the traffic conditions between the areas are interrelated when vehicles travel in continuous diverging or merging areas, the control of a single area cannot optimize the overall traffic flow, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for transportation. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims at the technical problems existing in the prior art, and provides a vehicle cooperative control method for a split-flow area, which solves the problems of high cost and control delay of the existing control method.

[0011] establishing a cooperative vehicle formation, and sending the optimal speed limit value to each vehicle in the cooperative vehicle formation, so that each vehicle travels according to the optimal speed limit value.

[0017] The merging and diverging area refers to an area where vehicles perform merging and diverging operations, and the traffic condition thereof is complex and prone to cause congestion.
[0018] In view of the problems of high cost, information lag and limited traffic efficiency improvement in single area control in the prior art, the present application makes a series of innovative improvements, aiming to realize efficient passing of vehicles on the expressway trunk in the continuous merging and diverging area and reduce the accident rate.
[0019] The grating array is composed of a plurality of grating sensors arranged in an array, which can be installed on road sections such as high-speed merging and diverging areas, and is used to accurately monitor various physical characteristic data of vehicles when passing, such as length, speed, etc., to provide basic information for traffic flow analysis.
[0020] The vehicle-road cloud integrates the intelligent traffic system of the vehicle end, the roadside infrastructure and the cloud data processing. The vehicle collects its own state information through the vehicle-mounted equipment, the roadside unit collects surrounding traffic data, and both of them transmit the data to the cloud for integration and analysis through the network, so as to realize comprehensive perception and intelligent decision of traffic information.
[0021] The application adopts a combination of a grating array and vehicle-road cloud data as a bottom layer data source. The grating array sensing device has the characteristics of relatively low cost and flexible deployment, and is suitable for being widely installed on traffic trunks. However, the detection accuracy of the grating array will be affected in bad weather conditions, such as rainy and snowy weather. The vehicle-road cloud system can obtain more comprehensive and accurate traffic information through various sensors, and is less affected by weather. The fusion of the data of the two can not only exert the cost and deployment advantages of the grating array, but also make up for the low detection accuracy of the grating array in special weather, forming a cost-effective and stable and reliable data acquisition method.
[0022] Based on the fusion of the grating array and the vehicle-road cloud data, the application generates a data fusion mechanism and a variable speed limit control model, and constructs a collaborative vehicle platoon. The dynamic balanced regulation and control of the trunk traffic in multiple split and merge areas is realized, the vehicle passing efficiency is effectively improved, and the accident rate is reduced.
[0023] Specifically, in the continuous split and merge area, the traffic conditions of the ramp and the split and merge area are informed to the vehicle in advance by deploying the roadside device in the key area, and the vehicle performs corresponding acceleration and deceleration operation according to the received information. Before the split and merge area, the roadside device generates lane-level trajectory and speed induction linkage control information according to the cooperative control algorithm, and transmits the information to the platoon vehicle. The vehicle adjusts the speed reasonably according to the information, combines the insertable gap, avoids congestion in the split and merge area, realizes the dynamic balanced regulation and control of the trunk traffic in multiple split and merge areas, effectively improves the vehicle passing efficiency, and reduces the accident rate.

[0026] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the grating array is arranged on the trunk of the road due to its low cost, and the roadside equipment is arranged in the split-flow area and a detection area before the split-flow area (hereinafter referred to as a specific detection area) due to its relatively high cost. In the specific detection area, the lane average speed and the vehicle average density of the specific detection area are sensed by the grating array and the roadside equipment at the same time.
[0027] The grating array data acquisition includes:

[0029] According to the average time difference and the fixed length of the specific detection area (km), the first lane average speed (km / h) is calculated, and the calculation formula is ;
[0030] The number of vehicles passing through the lane range with a fixed length (km) covered by the grating array in the current t period is counted , and the first vehicle average density is calculated, and the calculation formula is .

[0033] The total number of vehicles in the specific detection area is counted by collecting data uploaded from the roadside equipment of the traffic monitoring point in the specific detection area in the current t period and the total length of the lane of the specific detection area , and the second vehicle average density is calculated, and the calculation formula is .
[0034] Based on the first lane average speed, the first vehicle average density of the specific detection area perceived by the grating array, and the second lane average speed and the second vehicle average density of the specific detection area perceived by the roadside equipment, a vector parameter is formed .
[0035] Step 2, input the vector parameter into the data cross-domain fusion model to obtain cross-domain fusion data, and the cross-domain fusion data includes fusion lane speed and fusion vehicle density .
[0036] The vector parameter input data is input into the cross-domain fusion model to obtain cross-domain fusion data, which mainly includes fusion lane speed and fusion vehicle density.
[0037] Specifically, the working process of the cross-domain fusion model is as follows:

[0040] According to the first vehicle average density and the second vehicle average density and the corresponding weight coefficients and , the fusion vehicle density is calculated, and the calculation formula is: .
[0041] wherein the weight coefficients of the first lane average speed and the second lane average speed are determined as follows: and , including:

[0044] calculating a weight coefficient according to the first error sum of squares and the second error sum of squares and .
[0045] wherein the calculation formula of the first error sum of squares is:
[0046] ;
[0047] ;

[0051] ;
[0052] wherein, denotes the second error sum of squares, is the second lane average speed detected by the road side equipment in the i-th historical time period, denotes the error square of the second lane average speed detected by the road side equipment and the third lane average speed detected by the speed radar in the i-th historical time period, and n is the number of historical sample time periods;
[0053] calculating a weight coefficient according to the first error sum of squares and the second error sum of squares and , comprising:
[0054] ;
[0055] .
[0056] Similarly, the first vehicle average density and the second vehicle average density Weighting coefficients and ,include:
[0057] Obtain the first average vehicle density in a specific detection area detected by the grating array under similar scenarios in historical time periods to the current time period t. The second average vehicle density in a specific detection area detected by roadside equipment The average density of third vehicles at the center point of a specific detection area detected by microwave radar;

This represents the squared error between the average density of the second vehicle detected by the roadside equipment and the average density of the third lane detected by the microwave radar during the j-th historical period.
[0068] According to the third error square sum and the fourth error square sum, a weight coefficient is calculated And , comprising:
[0069] ;
[0070] .
[0071] Step 3, when the fusion vehicle density is greater than the bottleneck density, an optimal speed limit value is obtained through a variable speed limit control model according to the fusion lane speed and the fusion vehicle density .
[0072] It can be understood that after the fusion lane speed and the fusion vehicle density of the fixed length of the specific detection area before the split and merge area are calculated through step 2, the optimal speed limit value of the vehicle on the fixed length of the lane before the split and merge area is obtained based on the variable speed limit control model.
[0073] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , when the fusion vehicle density is greater than the bottleneck density, the variable speed limit control model is triggered to re-plan the optimal speed limit value of the vehicle.
[0074] Firstly, the constraint range of the vehicle speed is determined, i.e. the safe speed range of the vehicle driving in the specific detection area: the speed limit cannot be lower than the minimum safe speed required by the road. This ensures that the vehicle has enough power and safety distance when driving on the road, avoiding rear-end accidents caused by too low speed. The speed limit cannot be higher than the maximum speed designed by the road. Taking the expressway as an example, the value range is: 60km / h-120km / h.
[0075] The traffic flow is calculated by using the Greenish model , wherein, is the lane fusion speed, is the vehicle fusion density, is the jam density (calculated according to historical data).
[0076] The deviation between the lane fusion speed of the current period t and the average speed of the lane in the past preset period is calculated to represent the speed stability, .
[0077] The accident risk , is calculated by using the historical accident data fitting coefficient.
[0078] The traffic flow , vehicle speed stability and accident risk , traffic flow , vehicle speed stability and accident risk are unified into the same dimension.
[0079] The principle of normalization is to calculate the maximum / minimum of the current traffic flow , vehicle speed stability and accident risk , so that they are within the range of [0, 1].
[0080] Among them, for traffic flow , by collecting historical traffic data, analyzing the traffic flow of the section in different time periods and different conditions, the maximum and minimum values of the traffic flow are found. Then normalize the traffic flow, the normalization formula is:
[0081] , wherein represents the minimum value of the traffic flow of all historical similar time periods, represents the maximum value of the traffic flow of all historical similar time periods.
[0082] For vehicle speed stability S, the normalization formula is:
[0083] , , wherein is the current period lane fusion speed, is the maximum value of the of the historical multiple similar scene time periods.
[0084] For accident risk R, the normalization formula is: , wherein represents the maximum value of the accident risk index under similar conditions. It can be obtained by historical data.
[0085] The objective function is constructed , vehicle speed stability and accident risk as factors, set the weight , , and , then .
[0086] According to the constructed objective function, the optimal speed limit value is solved. Specifically, taking the speed limit of 60km / h to 120km / h with a step of 10km / h as an example, =5km / h.
[0087] In the safety speed range, taking the lane fusion speed as the starting point, each speed limit speed candidate value is obtained in a stepwise decreasing manner;
[0088] Based on each speed limit speed candidate value and the vehicle fusion density , the corresponding , and are calculated, and the objective function is substituted to obtain value, wherein, when solving the optimal speed limit speed value, a plurality of speed limit speed candidate values are obtained in a stepwise decreasing manner, and the vehicle fusion density in the specific area is unchanged, that is, the optimal speed limit speed value is solved under the condition that the vehicle fusion density is the same.
[0089] Compare all values, find the speed limit speed candidate value that makes the maximum as the optimal speed limit value : .
[0090] Step 4, establishing a cooperative vehicle platoon, sending the optimal speed limit value to each vehicle in the cooperative vehicle platoon, so that each vehicle travels according to the optimal speed limit value.
[0091] It can be understood that the cooperative vehicle platoon: vehicles maintain a specific distance and speed through information interaction and cooperative control, and travel in a platoon form. This helps to improve road capacity, reduce energy consumption, and optimize traffic flow in complex road sections such as merging and diverging areas, and reduce traffic congestion.
[0092] When the merging and diverging area is congested, the vehicles on the lane of the specific detection area before the merging and diverging area are platooned to smoothly pass through the merging and diverging area.
[0093] Establishing a cooperative vehicle platoon, specifically, determining a lead vehicle according to the OBU installed on each vehicle on the lane in the specific detection area, and determining the number of vehicles in the vehicle platoon according to the communication distance range of the OBU of the lead vehicle.
[0094] It should be noted that the determination of the lead vehicle according to the OBU installed on each vehicle on the lane in the specific detection area is realized by using an existing relatively mature algorithm, and will not be described in detail here.
[0095] In the process of establishing the vehicle platoon, the front vehicle is decelerated, the speed of the following vehicle is unchanged, and the lead vehicle is appropriately lowered to form a small inter-vehicle distance with the following vehicle The vehicle fleet is reduced to reduce the influence of wind resistance, and a certain delay is caused due to the reduction of the speed of the leading vehicle.
[0096] It should be noted that the data of the leading vehicle and the vehicle to be added to the vehicle fleet are determined, and the process of establishing the vehicle fleet is that initially, only the leading vehicle is in the vehicle fleet, then the second vehicle applies to join the vehicle fleet, and then the third vehicle applies to join the vehicle fleet, and so on, and the vehicle to be added to the vehicle fleet is added to the vehicle fleet by one vehicle at a time.
[0097] In the process of adding each vehicle to the vehicle fleet, the speed of the leading vehicle is reduced, and the speed of the following vehicle remains unchanged, Figure 3 A curve of the speed v-time t of the deceleration strategy of the leading vehicle in the process of the vehicle fleet is shown. Specifically, the leading vehicle is initially added to the vehicle fleet, and in the process of adding the vehicle behind the current vehicle fleet to the vehicle fleet, the leading vehicle is free to decelerate at 0- - - The leading vehicle is decelerated to at - The leading vehicle starts to accelerate to the original speed , and the distance between the leading vehicle and the following vehicle is greater than or equal to the safe distance , and the following vehicle is added to the vehicle fleet, wherein the following vehicle maintains the original speed at 0- - After the period of , the leading vehicle and the following vehicle jointly maintain a constant speed.
[0098] The subsequent vehicles are sequentially added to the vehicle fleet by the same method;
[0099] In the process of adding the vehicle to the vehicle fleet, the leading vehicle refers to all the vehicles in the current vehicle fleet, and the following vehicle refers to the vehicle to be added to the vehicle fleet. For example, after the second vehicle is added to the vehicle fleet, the leading vehicle and the second vehicle behind it in the current vehicle fleet are regarded as a whole. When the third vehicle applies to join the vehicle fleet, the leading vehicle and the second vehicle are regarded as a whole as the leading vehicle to perform the same operation, and the third vehicle is the following vehicle.
[0100] After the vehicle fleet is completed, the optimal speed limit value is sent to each vehicle in the vehicle fleet. The calculated optimal speed limit value is first sent to the leading vehicle, and then the leading vehicle broadcasts the optimal speed limit value to other vehicles in the vehicle fleet, so that all vehicles in the vehicle fleet travel according to the optimal speed limit value to the merging and diverging area.
[0101] When the on-board unit (OBU) of the vehicle receives the optimal speed limit value information, on one hand, it is displayed on the on-board display screen to remind the driver to drive according to the new speed limit; on the other hand, for vehicles equipped with an automatic driving system, the automatic driving system automatically adjusts the vehicle speed according to the received speed limit information, so that the vehicle drives according to the optimal speed limit value.
[0102] At the same time, the vehicles in the platoon transmit and share the optimal speed limit value within the platoon through V2V communication, ensuring that all vehicles in the platoon can obtain and comply with the speed limit in a timely manner. The traffic management center can monitor the execution of the optimal speed limit value by the vehicles in real time, and adjust and optimize it according to the actual traffic conditions, further improving traffic efficiency and safety. For example, if it is found that some vehicles do not drive according to the optimal speed limit, the traffic management center can send reminder information to these vehicles through RSU, or re-evaluate and adjust the optimal speed limit value.
[0103] The vehicle cooperative control method provided by the application has the following advantages:
[0104] (1) From the cost point of view, the combination of grating array and CAV cloud data greatly reduces the cost compared with large-scale deployment of roadside sensors and communication equipment. The grating array sensing device has relatively low cost, and the deployment point is flexible, which can be arranged on the trunk line according to the actual demand, reducing unnecessary equipment investment. At the same time, the data collected by the existing sensors of the CAV cloud system are used to realize data complementation, avoiding large-scale repeated construction, so that the whole system can effectively control the cost under the premise of ensuring the data quality, saving a lot of money for the traffic management department and improving the resource utilization efficiency.
[0105] (2) In terms of traffic efficiency improvement, the application realizes speed induction linkage control. Through the data fusion mechanism and cooperative control algorithm, the vehicles are reasonably grouped, and the speed of the vehicles is adjusted according to the cooperative vehicle platoon to make the vehicles pass through the continuous split and merge area in an orderly manner. For example, in the case of heavy traffic, the signal generated by the cooperative control model is accurately transmitted to the leading vehicle through the roadside equipment, and the leading vehicle adjusts the speed according to the signal to guide the entire platoon of vehicles to pass through the split and merge area smoothly, avoiding congestion and disorderly interlacing of vehicles in this area. This effectively improves the dynamic balanced regulation effect of trunk traffic in multiple split and merge areas, greatly improving the vehicle passing efficiency.
[0106] (3) In terms of safety performance, the application effectively reduces the accident rate. On the one hand, by informing the vehicle of the traffic situation of the diverging and merging area in advance, the vehicle can perform acceleration and deceleration operation in advance, avoiding accidents such as rear-end collision and collision caused by sudden braking or acceleration in the diverging and merging area. On the other hand, the cooperative vehicle platoon mode enhances the coordination between vehicles and makes the driving more orderly, reducing the conflict and interference between vehicles. For example, in the continuous diverging and merging area, the vehicles drive in platoon according to the cooperative control algorithm, maintain appropriate distance and speed, and reduce the risk of accidents caused by too small distance or too large speed difference between vehicles.
