Traffic lights force vehicles to stop frequently at signalized intersections, which leads to excessive fuel consumption, higher emissions, and travel delays. To address these issues, this study develops a trajectory planning method for mixed vehicles at signalized intersections. First, we use the intelligent driver car-following model to analyze the string stability of traffic flow upstream of the intersection. Second, we propose a mixed-vehicle trajectory planning method based on a trigonometric model that considers prefixed traffic signals. The proposed method employs the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) model controller to simulate the trajectory when connected vehicles (equipped with internet access) follow the optimal advisory speed. Essentially, only connected vehicle trajectories need to be controlled because normal vehicles simply follow the connected vehicles according to the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM). The IDM model aims to minimize traffic oscillation and ensure that all vehicles pass the signalized intersection without stopping. The results of a MATLAB simulation indicate that the proposed method can reduce fuel consumption and NOx, HC, CO2, and CO concentrations by 17%, 22.8%, 17.8%, 17%, and 16.9% respectively when the connected vehicle market penetration is 50 percent.

Optimal Trajectory Planning

SUMMARYThis paper presents an optimal trajectory planning method for industrial robots. The paper specially focuses on the applications of path tracking. The problem is to plan the trajectory with a specified geometric path, while allowing the position and orientation of the path to be arbitrarily selected within the specific ranges. The special contributions of the paper include (1) an optimal path tracking formulation focusing on the least time and energy consumption without violating the kinematic constraints, (2) a special mechanism to discretize a prescribed path integration for segment interpolation to fulfill the optimization requirements of a task with its constraints, (3) a novel genetic algorithm (GA) optimization approach that transforms a target path to be tracked as a curve with optimal translation and orientation with respect to the world Cartesian coordinate frame, (4) an integration of the interval analysis, piecewise planning and GA algorithm to overcome the challenges for solving the special trajectory planning and path tracking optimization problem. Simulation study shows that it is an insufficient condition to define a trajectory just based on the consideration that each point on the trajectory should be reachable. Simulation results also demonstrate that the optimal trajectory for a path tracking problem can be obtained effectively and efficiently using the proposed method. The proposed method has the properties of broad adaptability, high feasibility and capability to achieve global optimization.
