A Traffic Strategy for Mixed Intersections Based on Platoon and Dynamic Priority
In a mixed intersection composed of autonomous and manual vehicles,the traditional traffic strategy leads to slow traffic,long waiting time,and low efficiency.To solve the prob-lem,in this paper,platoons of vehicles are formed based on the distance between vehicles.The platoons with autonomous and manual vehicles are controlled by different traffic strategies and priorities,which effectively prevents the traffic efficiency reduction of autonomous vehicles and ensures the fairness of traffic at intersections.Simulations show that with the increase of penetra-tion rate,the proposed strategy is superior to the traditional strategies in terms of the average speed,the average waiting time,and the average fuel consumption.
