The invention provides a flow
rate control method and
system for highway mixed traffic confluence, and relates to the technical field of traffic control, and the method comprises the steps: constructing a highway
cell grid, and calculating the density information of vehicles in cells according to the lateral flow rate, the longitudinal flow rate and the ramp
cell confluence flow rate from adjacent cells to a target
cell; calculating the permeability of each type of vehicles in the cells and the
traffic speed of the cells based on the density information of the vehicles in the target cells, and constructing a lane changing rate model according to the
traffic speed and the vehicle distance information in the cells; based on the density information and a lane change rate model, constructing a lane change demand function and a cellular supply function of each type of vehicles, and updating a lateral flow rate; calculating the
traffic capacity of cells based on the
traffic speed, the permeability and the
vehicle type information, and calculating a flow rate balance target ratio between upstream lanes of the confluence area according to the
traffic capacity of the cells; and based on the flow rate balance target ratio, the lane change rate of the human-driven vehicle and the ramp cell convergence flow rate, calculating the lane change demand of the automatic driving vehicle in the upstream cell of the convergence area, and generating an automatic driving lane change strategy. According to the method, lane-level traffic is accurately modeled, and the inter-lane flow rate of the upstream of the confluence area is dynamically managed by using the active cooperative
control function of the automatic driving vehicle.
