Abstract:

To avoid frequent start-stop of vehicles and reduce delays and fuel consumption at exit lane for left-turn intersections, an optimal trajectory control model for left-turning vehicles is proposed. The model is applicable to exit lane for left-turn intersections in an intelligent connected vehicle environment. Firstly, the unique features of the exit lane for left-turn intersections are analyzed in terms of fuel consumption compared to traditional intersections. Secondly, the corresponding trajectory control double-layer model is established by considering the geometric design and traffic signals of the intersection, optimizing the lane selection and the time to enter the exit lane for left-turn. Finally, SUMO and Python software are used to simulate and verify the proposed control model and simulated experiments are designed to analyze the effects of different parameters such as traffic volume, green signal ratio and length of exit lane for left-turn on the model's performance. The experiments show that the proposed optimal trajectory control model effectively reduces delays and fuel consumption, with an average reduction of 26.6% in vehicle delay and 50.2% in fuel consumption compared to the Krauss control model. Moreover, the optimal trajectory control model exhibits robustness under different lengths of the exit lane for left-turn and has wide applicability.
