Abstract:

To improve the traffic efficiency of interchange, a simulation model of complete process is built by timed Petri net (TdPN) considering multiple separation and merging behaviors in the process of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) passing through the interchange. In the light of vehicle priority, a speed guidance strategy is proposed and a CAVs cooperative control model is established, so as to form a complete interchange TdPN model. This method is verified by simulation and compared with the cooperative control method of interchange exit and its connecting area, cooperative control method of multi-merging areas within the interchange. The results indicate that when the traffic demand is large, the control effect of this method is the best, which can further improve traffic efficiency and relieve the traffic pressure.

Key words: traffic simulation, Petri net, connected and automated vehicles(CAVs), interchange, cooperative control
