Abstract:

Considering the problem that the existing trajectory planning algorithms for connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) passing through intersections cannot achieve optimal coordination of traffic efficiency and safety, the concept of dynamic distance windows (DDW) is introduced according to different initial driving states when CAV drives into the communication range of the intersection, and a trajectory planning algorithm which is suitable for the optimal traffic efficiency under the controllable and safe driving condition is proposed. The DDW corresponding to the initial driving state of CAV can be obtained according to the information of initial driving state parameters of CAV and the signal lights, and the constraints of the maximum comfortable acceleration/deceleration and the speed limit of road. For the two types of situation that the distance between the initial position of CAV and a certain position in front of the stop line is within or outside of the DDW, the corresponding trajectory planning algorithm is designed respectively to achieve the minimum delay of CAV passing through the intersection. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the efficiency of CAV passing through the intersection, with smaller speed fluctuations and smoother spatiotemporal trajectory of CAV.
