  • Publication number: 20220375339
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for expressing traffic flow characteristics based on a quantum harmonic oscillator model, including: (1) constructing an energy eigenequation of a quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO) for vehicle movement, and converting the energy eigenequation to an Hermite polynomial; (2) solving traffic flow characteristic parameters using K-order Hermite polynomial approximation; and (3) expressing the traffic flow characteristic parameters on a sphere. On the premise of the autonomous decision of a driving strategy by a driver and centering on the objective limitation that the individual accurate state information in the long-distance expressway traffic flow is not observable, the dynamic evolution of the speed and the state of the vehicle is described using a quantum state, the driving state of the vehicle is expressed as the superposition state of three driving states, and the probability of the three states is represented using QHO model parameters.
