Coordinated control method of intersection traffic light in one-way road based on V2X

One-way roads have potential for improving vehicle speed and reducing traffic delay.Suffering from dense road network,most of adjacent intersections’distance on one-way roads becomes relatively close,which makes isolated control of intersections inefficient in this scene.Thus,it is significant to develop coordinated control of multiple intersection signals on the one-way roads.This paper proposes a signal coordination control method that is suitable for one-way arterial roads.This method uses the cooperation technology of the vehicle infrastructure to collect intersection traffic information and share information among the intersections.Adaptive signal control system is adopted for each intersection in the coordination system,and the green light time is adjusted in real time based on the number of vehicles in queue.The offset and clearance time can be calculated according to the real-time traffic volume.The proposed method was verified with simulation results by VISSIM traffic simulation software.The results compared with other methods show that the coordinated control method proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the average delay of vehicles on the arterial roads and improve the traffic efficiency.

Improved STCA Model for Multi-Lane Using Driving Guidance under CVIS

In a multi-lane area,the increasing randomness of lane changes contributes to traffic insecurity and local traffic flow instability.A study on safe lane shifting activity that focuses on threat assessment under real-time knowledge is necessary to enhance smooth vehicle flow.This paper proposed amore comprehensive lane changing guidance rule to investigate the status of surrounding vehicles to accommodate future vehicle-on-road collaborative environments based on these parameters 1)lane change demand and 2)treat assessment function.The collaborative relationships between vehicles are analyzed using a cellular automata model based on their location,velocity,and acceleration.We analyze and examine the relationship between the number of lanes and traffic flow when the road capacity is heavily mined via intelligent lane changing.Our analysis can further provide theoretical guidance for the selection of road expansion mode.Our proposed STCA-L is compared based on the average speed,average flow,lane changing frequency,spatial and temporal pattern of STCA,STCA-I,and STCA-S,and STCA-M under different vehicle densities.The numerical simulation results show that our proposed STCA-L provides themost flexible lane changing guidance in the multi-lanes road.Moreover,the simulated results show that the exponential growth of physical space cannot provide the corresponding increase in the average flow of vehicles.

Modeling and Simulation of Packet Delivery Rate in LTE-V Network Based on Markov Chain

As one of the most promising communication technologies for vehicular networks, LTE-V has the advantages of wide coverage and a high transmission rate. 3 GPP released the technical specification of LTE-V in March 2017, launching a spate of related research and industrialization. In this paper, we propose a communication model based on Markov process to evaluate the reliability of LTE-V. We derived the Packet Delivery Rate(PDR) of LTE-V based on the model. Moreover, we use Poisson process to model the distribution of vehicles on a highway,then combine the communication model with the vehicles’ distribution to derive the PDR under this scenario. To verify the correctness of the proposed model, we established a simulation program on the MATLAB platform. By comparing the simulation results and the mathematical results, we found that simulation results are a very good fit for the model.
