A Cooperative Control Method for Signal and Vehicles at Intersections Considering Pedestrian Crossing Safety
-
摘要: 针对混合交通下信号交叉口闯行行多、人车冲突风险高且拥堵延误大的问题,研究了信号灯、智能网联汽车(connected autonomous vehicle,CAV)和行人的协同控制方法。第一阶段,结合保护/禁止右转(protect/prohibit right turning,PPRT)策略,构建面向行人安全的深度强化学习信控框架。状态以车辆与行人的位置和速度矩阵表示,刻画路口的时空态势。动作按行人直行与车辆左/右转拆分相位,以信号层面的时空分离抑制主要人车冲突。奖励采用等待时间差,考虑载客量对效率的影响,并以决斗双重深度Q网络算法求解最优策略。第二阶段,建立行人与CAV的速度规划模型,减少人车交互并降低延误。行人侧根据过街距离与绿灯余长计算可行速度区间,并受加速度与速度约束,考虑人群的服从度与随机扰动。CAV侧在高风险场景时,调整满足安全约束的速度水平,削减冲突发生条件。对左转与直行的CAV进行速度引导,使其平滑通过路口。基于长沙市交叉口场景和交通流数据,构建智能网联交叉口和混合交通场景,在城市交通流仿真工具(simulation of urban mobility,SUMO)进行仿真实验。结果表明,在50% CAV渗透率场景下,本文方法的人车冲突和闯行分别为897次和272次,较PPRT分别降低43.37%和53.7%。人均延误11.61 s,较感应式信号控制、PPRT、深度强化学习信号控制分别减少39.15%、55.03%、13.62%,停车次数降至3 279次。优化效果随CAV渗透率的增加而提升,在0%~25%时,冲突减少16.60%,升至100%时综合指标最优。Abstract: Addressing frequent jaywalking, pedestrian-vehicle conflict risk, and heavy congestion at signalized intersections under mixed traffic, this study develops a cooperative control framework for traffic signals, connected autonomous vehicle (CAV), and pedestrians. In Stage 1, a protect/prohibit right-turning (PPRT) strategy is integrated into a pedestrian-oriented deep reinforcement learning (DRL) controller. The state encodes spatial-temporal conditions using matrices of vehicle and pedestrian positions and speeds. Actions split phases into pedestrian-through and vehicle left/right turns to achieve temporal-spatial separation of key conflicts. The reward is based on the difference in cumulative waiting time with passenger-load weighting to reflect social efficiency, and the optimal policy is learned with a dueling double deep Q-network. In Stage 2, coordinated speed planning for pedestrians and CAV is designed to further reduce interactions and delay. Pedestrian speeds are bounded by feasible ranges derived from crossing distance and remaining green time with acceleration and speed constraints and with compliance and stochastic perturbations considered. CAV adjust to safety-feasible speeds when high-risk situations are detected and receive speed guidance for left-turn and through movements to pass the intersection smoothly. Using a Changsha intersection and local traffic data, an intelligent connected intersection and mixed-traffic scenario and implement simulations are built in SUMO. Results show that the proposed method yields 897 pedestrian-vehicle conflicts and 272 jaywalking events at 50% CAV penetration, reductions of 43.37% and 53.7% compared with PPRT. Average per-capita delay is 11.61 s, which is 39.15%, 55.03%, and 13.62% lower than actuated control, PPRT, and DRL-based signal control, and the number of stops decreases to 3 279. Performance improves with higher CAV penetration, with conflicts reduced by 16.60% from 0% to 25%, and overall metrics reaching the best level at 100%.
