Abstract:

Considering that a large number of CAV and HV will mix in the future, an agglomeration lane-changing model considering drivers' driving styles was proposed to enable CAV vehicles to achieve local agglomeration, promote traffic flow homogenization, and enhance traffic operation efficiency. The influence of driving styles in agglomeration was investigated, and the effects of aggressive, conservative, and autonomous vehicle driving styles on the three agglomeration lane-changing models CDA, CVA, and NOA were quantitatively analyzed. The agglomeration lane-changing model is based on the NGSIM database, and vehicle driving styles were classified using principal component analysis and K-means analysis, and finally simulated using Matlab to analyze the road capacity under the three lane-changing models. The research results indicate that the application of the lane-changing model and the increase in the penetration rate of aggressive drivers effectively improved road capacity, with the two roads studied showing a maximum increase of more than 7% in capacity. The increase in the proportion of conservative drivers improved road traffic flow stability and safety levels, while the increase in CAV penetration rate significantly improved road traffic flow stability and safety levels while also improving road capacity.
