  • Patent number: 12260763
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dynamic regulation method for a lane changing decision point of a CAV dedicated lane in a diverging area of an expressway, applied to the diverging area of the expressway in which the CAV dedicated lane is provided at an inner side of a road. Vehicles traveling in the CAV dedicated lane are all CAVs. Both the CAVs and human-driven vehicles can travel in ordinary lanes. The method calculates the lane changing decision points of diversion vehicles in the CAV dedicated lane at current time using corresponding algorithms based on a relationship between the lane changing decision points of the CAV dedicated lane and traffic efficiency and a traffic safety.

  • Publication number: 20240371262
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for traffic flow control considering a bus stop in a connected environment, comprising: determining an influence region of the bus stop; dividing the influence region of the bus stop into influence subregions; collecting vehicle information of each of the influence subregions at time t; comparing lane changing pressures of different influence subregions of the bus stop; determining a predicted count of lane changing vehicles of each of the influence subregions based on lane changing pressure differences; and selecting optimal lane changing vehicles to complete lane changing. A vehicle density distribution in the influence region of the bus stop can be dynamically regulated through vehicle information interaction in the connected environment, thereby making the spatial distribution of the traffic flow more balanced, saving vehicle traveling time, and improving the operation efficiency of the traffic flow.

  • Patent number: 12131645
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for lane changing decision for vehicles on expressways considering safety risks in a networked environment, which is applicable to a multi-lane expressway. The method includes collecting a demand for lane change of a target vehicle; collecting a roadway and a lane where the target vehicle is located; collecting intervals between the target vehicle and a front vehicle and a rear vehicle on a lane that is switching into; determining a lane change direction of the vehicle; and executing a lane change operation by the target vehicle. A lane changing decision model provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure helps to improve the efficiency of lane change and the safety of lane change in expressways and provides a support for changing lanes in a multi-lane expressway.
