Network Evolution Analysis of Vehicle Road-Driving Behavior Strategies and Design of Information Guidance Algorithm

By analyzing the influence of time and safety factors on the behavior strategies of vehicles on the road,a network game evolution model between drivers that considers the behavior strategies of the driving vehicle itself and its neighbors is constructed,and the competition relationship between different types of cars is studied.The influence of the proportion of driving vehicle types on the potential risk of the road is also discussed.This paper presents a guidance algorithm for vehicle dynamic behavior preference information.The correctness of the algorithm is verified by an example.Research shows:The choice of behavior strategies,such as speeding and lane changing,is related to the expected benefits of time,safety,and neighboring vehicle strategies,and the critical value of payable benefits is obtained.The higher the proportion of aggressive vehicles on the road,the greater the potential risk on the road.Whether there is a vehicle in the adjacent lane of the driving vehicle will affect the type of driving vehicle.Information guidance helps to stabilize the state of vehicles on the road,and the policy transition probability also helps stabilize the form of vehicles cars on the road.Still,information guidance has a more significant impact on the transition of vehicle types.Finally,the guidance strategy of managers is given when the road is smooth and congested.

An Adaptive Vision Navigation Algorithm in Agricultural IoT System for Smart Agricultural Robots

As the agricultural internet of things(IoT)technology has evolved,smart agricultural robots needs to have both flexibility and adaptability when moving in complex field environments.In this paper,we propose the concept of a vision-based navigation system for the agricultural IoT and a binocular vision navigation algorithm for smart agricultural robots,which can fuse the edge contour and the height information of rows of crop in images to extract the navigation parameters.First,the speeded-up robust feature(SURF)extracting and matching algorithm is used to obtain featuring point pairs from the green crop row images observed by the binocular parallel vision system.Then the confidence density image is constructed by integrating the enhanced elevation image and the corresponding binarized crop row image,where the edge contour and the height information of crop row are fused to extract the navigation parameters(θ,d)based on the model of a smart agricultural robot.Finally,the five navigation network instruction sets are designed based on the navigation angleθand the lateral distance d,which represent the basic movements for a certain type of smart agricultural robot working in a field.Simulated experimental results in the laboratory show that the algorithm proposed in this study is effective with small turning errors and low standard deviations,and can provide a valuable reference for the further practical application of binocular vision navigation systems in smart agricultural robots in the agricultural IoT system.

Method of Generating Strategic Guidance Information for Driving Evacuation Flows to Approach Safety-Based System Optimal Dynamic Flows: Case Study of a Large Stadium

In previous evacuation flow planning, a system optimal dynamic traffic assignment(SODTA) did not consider the exogenous costs caused by potential traffic accidents. A traffic accident,which might occur as a result of traffic congestion, will impact an evacuation process because of accidentrelated delays experienced by the downstream vehicles. This paper establishes a safety-based SO-DTA linear programming model in which the generalized system cost incorporates both the travel time and the accident-related delay. The goal is to minimize the generalized system cost under the cell transmission setup. Furthermore, the authors provide strategic guidance information that considers both the objective of the decision maker and the route choice behavior of the evacuees. Mathematically,the authors propose an unconstrained non-linear programming model aimed at minimizing the gap between the safety-based flows and the stochastic real-world evacuation flows, to provide strategic travel time information to be published on variable message signs(VMS). In the case study, the authors found that the safety-based SO-DTA model can reduce congestion and improve the evacuation efficiency; the stochastic real-world evacuation flows, guided by strategic information, can approach the safety-based flows.

Study on the Reduced Traffic Congestion Method Based on Dynamic Guidance Information

This paper studies how to generate the reasonable information of travelers' decision in real network. This problem is very complex because the travelers' decision is constrained by different human behavior. The network conditions can be predicted by using the advanced dynamic OD(Origin-Destination, OD) estimation techniques. Based on the improved mesoscopic traffic model, the predictable dynamic traffic guidance information can be obtained accurately.A consistency algorithm is designed to investigate the travelers' decision by simulating the dynamic response to guidance information. The simulation results show that the proposed method can provide the best guidance information. Further,a case study is conducted to verify the theoretical results and to draw managerial insights into the potential of dynamic guidance strategy in improving traffic performance.
