Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) can access signal plans and optimize trajectories to minimize delays and reduce fuel consumption. However, optimizing trajectories for individual vehicles significantly increases complexity, especially for joint optimization of traffic signals and vehicle trajectories. Given the current technical, regulatory, and policy constraints, a superior intersection management approach is necessary before fully automated driving is achieved. This paper introduces an adaptive coupling control (ACC) method based on vehicle platooning to optimize signal timings and vehicle trajectories in mixed traffic. Initially, vehicle platoon segmentation is conducted, led by CAVs. The study then proposes a single-layer coupled optimization model based on vehicle platoons, simplifying the joint optimization model. To address logistic constraint difficulties, a linearization of the coupled model (LCM) method is developed. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the ACC method significantly reduces vehicle delay and fuel consumption. At high CAV penetration rates (0.8 &lt; R &lt;1) and high traffic volumes (over 900 pcu/h), vehicle platoon control delivers excellent performance, with delays and fuel consumption even lower than in a fully automated environment (R = 1). This surprising result suggests that the mixed platoon system (ACC method) positively impacts mixed traffic.</p>","PeriodicalId":50381,"journal":{"name":"IET Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"18 8","pages":"1459-1476"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/itr2.12523","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141968111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although long short-term memory (LSTM) or its variants have been widely used in recent studies, they may produce unacceptable results in long-term prediction due to the iterative output that accumulates error. To address this issue, a transformer-based long-term trajectory prediction model is proposed here, which utilizes the self-attention mechanism to extract time series features from historical trajectory data. For long-term prediction scenarios, we a trajectory stabilization module is introduced to ensure the stationarity of the time series for better predictability. Additionally, the transformer output strategy is improved to generate the prediction sequence by a single step instead of serial dynamic decoding, thus effectively enhancing the precision and inference speed. The proposed model is validated using real data obtained from China's Southwest Air Traffic Management Bureau. The experimental results demonstrate that this model outperforms the benchmark model.

However, the generation of HDVM remains a challenging problem, especially in complex urban scenarios. Moreover, numerous factors in the urban environment can degrade the accuracy of HDVM, necessitating a reliable error quantification. To address these challenges, this paper presents an open-source and generic HDVM generation pipeline that integrates the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), inertial navigation system (INS), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and camera. The pipeline begins by extracting semantic information from raw images using the Swin Transformer. The absolute 3D information of semantic objects is then retrieved using depth from the 3D LiDAR, and pose estimation from GNSS/INS integrated navigation system. Vector information (VI), such as lane lines, is extracted from the semantic information to construct the HDVM. To assess the potential error of the HDVM, this paper systematically quantifies the impacts of two key error sources, segmentation and LiDAR-camera extrinsic parameter error. An error propagation scheme is first formed to illustrate how these errors fundamentally influence the accuracy of the HDVM. The effectiveness of the proposed pipeline is demonstrated through our codeavailable at https://github.com/ebhrz/HDMap.

With the recent popularity of reinforcement learning, numerous researchers have turned to implicit signal coordination. However, these methods inevitably require learning coordination from scratch. To maximize the use of prior knowledge, this study proposes an explicit coordinated signal control (ECSC) method using a soft actor–critic for cycle length determination. This method can fundamentally solve the challenges encountered by traditional methods in determining the cycle length. Soft actor–critic was selected among various reinforcement learning methods. A single agent was administered to the arterials. An action is defined as the selection of a cycle length from among the candidates. The state is represented as a feature vector, including the cycle length and features of each leg at every intersection. The reward is defined as departures that indirectly minimize system vehicle delays. Simulation results indicate that ECSC significantly outperforms the baseline methods, as evident in system vehicle delay across nearly all demand scenarios and throughput in high demand scenarios.

This study presents an EVTSP system that considers queue spillbacks on approaches along the routes of EVs and the negative impacts of signal preemption on non-priority traffic.
