摘要: 根据车路协同环境城市快速路分流区不同车型的自动、人工驾驶混合车流特征,引入动态加速度、可变换道概率改进元胞自动机模型车流运行规则;设计了考虑主路自动驾驶渗透率、大型车混入率、驶出自动驾驶渗透率、驶出车流率、出口匝道车道数、换道决策点距离等因素耦合作用的分流区换道仿真试验;对比分析了多因素耦合作用下驶出车辆自由换道率、平均换道距离等指标影响程度,研究了城市快速路分流区道路通行能力变化规律;提出了基于可变换道决策点距离的分流区道路混合车流通行能力提升策略。研究结果表明:分流区驶出车辆自由换道率越高,道路通行能力越大;主路车流自动驾驶渗透率对通行能力的影响最为显著,自动驾驶环境可达到人工驾驶环境道路通行能力的2倍;出口匝道车道数对通行能力的影响不显著,2条出口匝道比1条出口匝道的通行能力提升约3%;换道决策点距离对通行能力的影响较为显著,车辆换道决策点距离从100 m增加到150 m时,分流区道路通行能力可提高9.6%~10.6%。可见,可借助移动式交通标志提前引导车辆换道决策,显著提高分流区道路通行能力。Abstract: According to the mixed traffic flow characteristics of vehicles including different types of automatic vehicles (AVs) and human-driven vehicles (HVs) in the urban expressway diversion area under a vehicle-infrastructure cooperative environment, the dynamic acceleration and variable lane-changing probability were introduced to improve the traffic flow rules of a cellular automata model. The lane-changing simulation experiments in the diversion area were designed by considering the coupling influence of factors such as the penetration rate of AVs on the main road, proportion of large vehicles, penetration rate of off-ramp AVs, rate of off-ramp vehicles, number of off-ramp lanes, and distance before lane-changing. The influences of indicators including the free lane-changing rate and average distance before lane-changing of off-ramp vehicles were compared and analyzed under multi-factor coupling actions, and change rules of road capacity of the urban expressway diversion area were studied. On the basis of the variable distance before lane-changing, a strategy for improving the road capacity of the diversion area with mixed traffic flows was proposed. Analysis results show that the road capacity improves as the free lane-changing rate of off-ramp vehicles in the diversion area increases. The penetration rate of AVs on the main road has the most significant impact on the road capacity, and the road capacity under the environment with fully AVs is twice that under the environment with fully HVs. The impact of the number of off-ramp lanes on the road capacity is not significant, and the road capacity of two off-ramp lanes improves by about 3%, compared with that of one off-ramp lane. The distance before lane-changing greatly affects the road capacity, and the road capacity of the diversion area enhances by 9.6%-10.6% when the distance before lane-changing increases from 100 m to 150 m. Therefore, mobile traffic signs can be utilized to guide vehicles to change lanes in advance, which can significantly enhance the traffic capacity of the diversion area. 1 tab, 20 figs, 31 refs.
