Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of road intersection conflict resolution technology, specifically to a method, system, and medium for obtaining the effective distance of the intersection conflict zone. Background Technology

[0002] Road intersections are the most complex and critical nodes in urban transportation systems, and their operational safety and traffic efficiency directly affect the overall performance of the road network. Because multiple directions and types of traffic flows converge within an intersection, potential path conflicts are inevitable during vehicle passage. Considering the definite external dimensions of vehicles and the need to maintain necessary lateral safety distances during travel, the actual trajectories of vehicles passing through an intersection are distributed in a strip-like pattern. The overlapping portions of the path strips from different directions constitute the conflict zone of the intersection.

[0003] In traditional signal-controlled intersections, traffic lights typically separate conflicting traffic flows in time to avoid collisions. With the development of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and intelligent traffic control technologies, intersection management is gradually shifting towards intelligent cooperative control based on vehicle-road cooperation. In this model, vehicles can coordinate their driving states through real-time communication and path prediction, allowing them to sequentially pass through conflict zones according to a set time sequence without relying on traditional traffic lights. This achieves safe, collision-free, and non-stop passage, significantly improving the spatial and temporal utilization efficiency of the intersection. Accurately determining the effective distance of intersection conflict zones has become one of the key technical challenges in realizing intelligent cooperative passage.

[0004] The so-called conflict zone effective distance refers to the range of travel that a vehicle must avoid with other vehicles traveling in conflict directions from the time it enters the conflict zone until it leaves. This distance directly determines the vehicle's speed adjustment and timing of passage when approaching the conflict zone, and its calculation accuracy has a decisive impact on safety decisions and traffic coordination. However, current research has mostly focused on conflict point identification and path geometric overlap analysis, but has failed to fully consider the comprehensive influence of vehicle travel direction (such as straight-ahead or turning) and path geometric characteristics on the effective distance, leading to discrepancies between the calculated results and actual operation.

[0005] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Summary of the Invention

[0077] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0078] Existing methods for obtaining the effective distance of conflict zones fail to fully consider the combined impact of vehicle travel direction (e.g., straight ahead, turning) and path geometry on the effective distance, leading to discrepancies between calculated results and actual operation. Therefore, establishing a method for calculating and obtaining the effective distance of intersection conflict zones that can take into account both vehicle travel direction and path geometry, and providing a scientific basis for intelligent connected vehicles' safety decisions, speed control, and path optimization at intersections, has become a critical technical problem urgently needing to be solved in the field of intelligent transportation.

[0079] The technical concept of this invention is as follows: First, based on the geometric parameters and lane alignment information of the road intersection, boundary line equations for vehicle trajectories in different directions are established. Then, the boundary line equations for vehicle trajectories in two conflicting directions are solved simultaneously to obtain the coordinates of each intersection point in the conflict zone, determining the coordinates of the entry and exit points of the conflict zone. Next, based on the differences in vehicle travel directions, corresponding conflict zone action distance calculation models are established for diverging conflict zones, intersection conflict zones, and merging conflict zones, including various combinations such as straight-to-turn, turn-to-turn, and straight-to-straight. Taking into account geometric features such as vehicle width, turning radius, and lateral clearance, the action distances of various conflict zones are accurately calculated through geometric calculations. Finally, the action distance results for each type are output to provide support for speed control and path optimization of intelligent connected vehicles.

[0080] Example 1

[0081] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for obtaining the effective distance of an intersection conflict zone, the method comprising:

[0082] Step 1: Obtain the geometric parameters and lane alignment information of the road intersection. Based on the geometric parameters and lane alignment information, establish the boundary line equations of vehicle travel trajectories in different directions.

[0083] In this embodiment, step 1 specifically includes:

[0084] Step 11: Obtain the geometric parameter information and lane alignment information of the road intersection. The geometric parameter information includes the number of lanes, lane width, and turning radius; the lane alignment information includes the vehicle driving direction and lane geometric features.

[0085] Step 12: Based on the geometric parameters and lane alignment information, and combined with the vehicle width and lateral clearance, establish the boundary line equations for vehicle travel trajectories in different directions.

[0086] Specifically, for any first vehicle V α The boundary line equation for its vehicle travel trajectory is derived from the left boundary line equation F. Lα And the right boundary line equation F Rα Indicates; for the second vehicle V in the other directionβ The boundary line equation for its vehicle travel trajectory is derived from the left boundary line equation F. Lβ And the right boundary line equation F Rβ express.

[0087] Step 2: Based on the traffic paths in different directions at the road intersection, classify the conflict zone types; the conflict zone types include diverging conflict zones, intersecting conflict zones, and merging conflict zones;

[0088] In this embodiment, step 2 specifically includes:

[0089] Based on the different traffic paths at the road intersection, identify vehicle pairs with potential conflict relationships;

[0090] Based on the different directions of vehicle travel, conflict zones are classified into diverging conflict zones, intersecting conflict zones, and merging conflict zones.

[0091] Step 3: Solve the equations of the boundary lines of the vehicle trajectories of any two conflict directions simultaneously to find the coordinates of each intersection point in the conflict zone; based on the coordinates of each intersection point in the conflict zone, determine the coordinates of the entry point and the exit point in the conflict zone.

[0092] In this embodiment, we assume that the first vehicle V α With the second vehicle V β There is a conflicting association, through the first vehicle V α With the second vehicle V β By simultaneously solving the equations of the vehicle travel trajectory boundary line, the conflict point ρ can be obtained. λ coordinates (x) ρλ ,y ρλ ), where λ={1,2,3,4}. Let ρ a (x ρa ,y ρa ) represents the coordinates of the entry point into the conflict zone, ρ e (x ρe ,y ρe () indicates the coordinates of the departure point in the conflict zone.

[0093] like Figure 2 As shown, for the traffic diversion conflict zone, the coordinates of the entry point and departure point of the conflict zone can be expressed as:

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] For a conflict zone, the coordinates of the entry point and the exit point can be represented as:

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] For the merging conflict zone, the coordinates of the entry point and the departure point of the conflict zone can be represented as:

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] Step 4: Based on the conflict zone type, the coordinates of the entry point and the departure point of the conflict zone, calculate the conflict zone action distance using a pre-built conflict zone action distance calculation model for different conflict zone types to obtain the conflict zone action distance.

[0103] In this embodiment, the pre-constructed conflict zone action distance calculation models for different conflict zone types include three main categories:

[0104] Calculation model for the effective distance of the diversion conflict zone;

[0105] Model for calculating the effective distance of cross-conflict zones;

[0106] Model for calculating the effective distance of the merging conflict zone.

[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, based on the different directions of travel of the conflicting vehicles, traffic diversion conflicts can be divided into two categories: straight-to-turning conflicts and turning-to-turning conflicts.

[0108] (1) When the first vehicle V α To turn, the second vehicle V β When going straight, assume the first vehicle V α The coordinates of the turning center are (x α0 ,y α0 ), the first vehicle V α The turning radius is r α Then, the effective distance of the diversion conflict zone can be calculated geometrically. That is, the expression of the calculation model for the effective distance of the first diversion conflict zone is:

[0109] ;

[0110] ;

[0111] in, Indicates the traffic diversion conflict zone for the first vehicle V α The effective range; Indicates the traffic diversion conflict zone for the second vehicle V β The effective range; r α For the first vehicle V α The turning radius; xρa ,y ρa These are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the entry point into the conflict zone, respectively; x ρe ,y ρe These are the x and y coordinates of the departure point from the conflict zone, respectively; x α0 ,y α0 The first vehicle V α The x and y coordinates of the center of the turning circle; w β Indicates the second vehicle V β The width of the car body, w c Indicates the second vehicle V β Lateral clearance width; here, the first vehicle V is set. α Second vehicle V β Lateral clearance width w c They are the same.

[0112] (2) When the first vehicle V α Second vehicle V β When both are turning, assume the second vehicle V β The coordinates of the turning center are (x β0 ,y β0 ), second vehicle V β The turning radius is r β The effective distance of the diversion conflict zone can then be calculated geometrically. Therefore, the expression for the calculation model of the effective distance of the second diversion conflict zone is:

[0113] ;

[0114] ;

[0115] in, Indicates the traffic diversion conflict zone for the first vehicle V α The effective range; Indicates the traffic diversion conflict zone for the second vehicle V β The effective range; r α For the first vehicle V α The turning radius; r β For the second vehicle V β The turning radius; x ρe ,y ρe These are the x and y coordinates of the departure point from the conflict zone, respectively; x α0 ,y α0 The first vehicle V α The x and y coordinates of the center of the turning circle; x β0 ,y β0 The second vehicle V β The x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the center of the turning circle.

[0116] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, based on the different directions of travel of the conflicting vehicles, cross-traffic conflicts can be divided into three categories: straight-on-straight-on conflicts, straight-on-turning conflicts, and turning-turning conflicts.

[0117] (1) When the first vehicle V α Second vehicle V β When both are going straight, the effective distance of the intersection conflict zone can be obtained through geometric calculation. That is, the expression for the calculation model of the effective distance of the first intersection conflict zone is:

[0118] ;

[0119] ;

[0120] in, Indicates the intersection conflict zone for the first vehicle V α The effective range, Indicates the intersection conflict zone for the second vehicle V β The effective range, w α Indicates the first vehicle V α Vehicle width; w β Indicates the second vehicle V β Vehicle width; w c Indicates the second vehicle V β Lateral clearance width; x ρa ,y ρa These are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the entry point into the conflict zone, respectively; x ρe ,y ρe These are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the departure point from the conflict zone, respectively.

[0121] (2) When the first vehicle V α To turn, the second vehicle V β When the traffic is going straight, the effective distance of the intersection conflict zone can be obtained through geometric calculation. That is, the expression of the calculation model for the effective distance of the second intersection conflict zone is:

[0122] ;

[0123] ;

[0124] Where, r α For the first vehicle V α The turning radius; x α0 ,y α0 The first vehicle V α The x and y coordinates of the center of the turning circle;

[0125] (3) When the first vehicle V α Second vehicle V βWhen both are turning, the effective distance of the intersection conflict zone can be obtained through geometric calculation. That is, the expression of the calculation model for the effective distance of the third intersection conflict zone is:

[0126] ;

[0127] ;

[0128] Where, r β For the second vehicle V β The turning radius.

[0129] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, based on the different directions of travel of the conflicting vehicles, merging conflicts can be divided into two categories: straight-to-turning conflicts and turning-to-turning conflicts.

[0130] (1) When the first vehicle V α To turn, the second vehicle V β When the flow is straight, the effective distance of the merging conflict zone can be obtained through geometric calculation. The expression for the calculation model of the effective distance of the first merging conflict zone is:

[0131] ;

[0132] ;

[0133] in, Indicates the merging conflict zone for the first vehicle V α The effective range, Indicates the merging conflict zone for the second vehicle V β The effective range; r α For the first vehicle V α The turning radius; x ρa ,y ρa These are the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the entry point into the conflict zone, respectively; x ρe ,y ρe These are the x and y coordinates of the departure point from the conflict zone, respectively; x α0 ,y α0 The first vehicle V α The x and y coordinates of the center of the turning circle; w β Indicates the second vehicle V β Vehicle width; w c Indicates the second vehicle V β Lateral clearance width;

[0134] (2) When the first vehicle V α Second vehicle V β When both are turning, the effective distance of the merging conflict zone can be obtained through geometric calculations. The expression for the calculation model of the effective distance of the second merging conflict zone is as follows:

[0135] ;

[0136] ;

[0137] Where, r β For the second vehicle V β The turning radius.

[0138] As a further implementation, the method also includes:

[0139] Step 5: Based on the conflict zone type and vehicle travel direction, output the effective distance of each type of conflict zone for use in the safe speed decision and path optimization of intelligent connected vehicles, that is, to provide input parameters for the safe speed decision and path optimization of vehicles at intersections.
