Abstract: With the applications of GPS/DR/MM integrated positioning technology and vehicle infrastructure integration technology, three traffic patterns with which intelligent vehicles go through the intersection are put forward. These three traffic patterns include signal lights adaptive traffic pattern, vehicle self-organizing traffic pattern and vehicle infrastructure integration traffic pattern. They can reduce vehicle delay, avoid traffic conflicts, decrease the probability of traffic accidents, improve traffic efficiency and realize the barrier-free accessibility of intelligent vehicles to the intersection. According to the parameters such as vehicles arrival rate, critical velocity and the average vehicle spacing, a clearance movement model and a circular path model are established respectively in view of these three traffic patterns.

Key words: intelligent vehicle, intersection, traffic pattern, capacity of intersection
