Path Optimization and Decision Making Mechanism for Driverless Vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems under Vehicle-Circuit Collaboration

In this study, we construct an unmanned vehicle path optimization model based on fast extended random tree, and after kinematic modeling of unmanned vehicles, we introduce the artificial potential field method to improve the fast extended random tree algorithm, and apply it to the path optimization of unmanned vehicles.According to the swarm intelligence perception decision-making algorithm, the end-to-end unmanned vehicle decision-making model based on vehicle-circuit collaboration is constructed.The effectiveness of this paper's driverless path optimization and decision-making model based on vehicle-circuit collaboration is examined.The waiting time for red light of this paper's model is shorter than other path planning schemes, and the vehicle passing benefit at intersections is the highest.The passing benefit values of this paper's model are 70.3% and 46.8% higher than Maxband scheme and Synchro scheme, respectively.In the right-turn simulation experiments, the main vehicle speed change shows a tendency to accelerate and the path is basically overlapped with the edge of the lane without offsetting the center of the lane.In the normal driving speeds of [14,38], the fuel consumption of the driverless vehicle shows an up and down trend, and the carbon dioxide emission varies with the fuel consumption.The total cost of traveling decreases with increasing speed.
