In order to minimize the impact of LC (lane-changing) maneuver, this research proposes a novel LC algorithm in mixed traffic. The LC maneuver is parsed into two stages: one is from the decision point to the execution point (finding a suitable gap), and the other is from the execution point to the end point (performing the LC maneuver). Thereafter, a multiobjective optimization problem integrating these two stages is constructed, in which the comfort, efficiency and safety of the LC vehicle and the surrounding vehicles are simultaneously considered. Through introducing the NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm), the pareto-optimal frontier and pareto-optimal solution of this problem is obtained. The nearest point of the frontier to the origin is used as the final solution. Through the micro-level analysis of the operating status of each vehicle, macro-level analysis of the traffic flow state within the LC area, and the sensitivity analysis of pareto-optimal frontier, we verify the performance of our proposed algorithm. Results demonstrate that compared with the existing algorithm, our algorithm could provide the optimal execution point and trajectory with the least impact on surroundings. The operation status of the traffic flow within the LC area has been significantly improved. We anticipate that this research could provide valuable insights into autonomous driving technology.

Hypervolume is widely used in the evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) field to evaluate the quality of a solution set. For a solution set with $mu$ solutions on a Pareto front, a larger hypervolume means a better solution set. Investigati ng the distribution of the solution set with the largest hypervolume is an important topic in EMO, which is the so-called hypervolume optimal $mu$-distribution. Theoretical results have shown that the $mu$ solutions are uniformly distributed on a linear Pareto front in two dimensions. However, the $mu$ solutions are not always uniformly distributed on a single-line Pareto front in three dimensions. They are only uniform when the single-line Pareto front has one constant objective. In this paper, we further investigate the hypervolume optimal $mu$-distribution in three dimensions. We consider the line- and plane-based Pareto fronts. For the line-based Pareto fronts, we extend the single-line Pareto front to two-line and three-line Pareto fronts, where each line has one constant objective. For the plane-based Pareto fronts, the linear triangular and inverted triangular Pareto fronts are considered. First, we show that the $mu$ solutions are not always uniformly distributed on the line-based Pareto fronts. The uniformity depends on how the lines are combined. Then, we show that a uniform solution set on the plane-based Pareto front is not always optimal for hypervolume maximization. It is locally optimal with respect to a $(mu+1)$ selection scheme. Our results can help researchers in the community to better understand and utilize the hypervolume indicator.

In preparing for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), a worrisome aspect is the transition era which will be characterized by mixed traffic (where CAVs and human-driven vehicles (HDVs) share the roadway). Consistent with expectations that CAVs w ill improve road safety, on-road CAVs may adopt rather conservative control policies, and this will likely cause HDVs to unduly exploit CAV conservativeness by driving in ways that imperil safety. A context of this situation is lane-changing by the CAV. Without cooperation from other vehicles in the traffic stream, it can be extremely unsafe for the CAV to change lanes under dense, high-speed traffic conditions. The cooperation of neighboring vehicles is indispensable. To address this issue, this paper develops a control framework where connected HDVs and CAV can cooperate to facilitate safe and efficient lane changing by the CAV. Throughout the lane-change process, the safety of not only the CAV but also of all neighboring vehicles, is ensured through a collision avoidance mechanism in the control framework. The overall traffic flow efficiency is analyzed in terms of the ambient level of CHDV-CAV cooperation. The analysis outcomes are including the CAVs lane-change feasibility, the overall duration of the lane change. Lane change is a major source of traffic disturbance at multi-lane highways that impair their traffic flow efficiency. In providing a control framework for lane change in mixed traffic, this study shows how CHDV-CAV cooperation could help enhancing system efficiency.

Lane-changing (LC) behavior describes the lateral movement of the vehicle from the current-lane to the target-lane while proceeding forward. Among the many research directions, LC duration (LCD) measures the total time it takes for a vehicle to trave l from the current lane to the target lane, which is an indispensable indicator to characterize the LC behavior. Although existing research has made some achievements, less attention has been paid to the research of heavy vehicles LCD. Therefore, this paper aims to further explore the LCD between heavy vehicles and passenger cars. LC trajectories are extracted from the newly-released HighD dataset, which contains of 16.5 hours of measurement and over 11,000 vehicles. The survival function of LCD has been estimated, and the characteristic has been analyzed. Thereafter, the Accelerated Failure Time model is introduced to explore the influencing factors. Results demonstrate that the MST value of passenger cars and heavy vehicles is about 5.51s and 6.08s. The heavy vehicles would maintain a longer time-headway and distance-headway with preceding vehicle when performing LC. Nevertheless, these two factors do not significantly affect the LCD of heavy vehicles. Finally, the results and the modeling implications have been discussed. We hope this paper could contribute to our further understanding of the LC behaviors for heavy vehicles and passenger cars.

In order to minimize the impact of lane change (LC) maneuver on surrounding traffic environment, a hierarchical automatic LC algorithm that could realize local optimum has been proposed. This algorithm consists of a tactical layer planner and an oper ational layer controller. The former generates a local-optimum trajectory. The comfort, efficiency, and safety of the LC vehicle and its surrounding vehicles are simultaneously satisfied in the optimization objective function. The later is designed based on vehicle kinematics model and the Model Predictive Control (MPC), which aims to minimize the tracking error and control increment. Combining macro-level and micro-level analysis, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Our results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm could greatly reduce the impact of LC maneuver on traffic flow. This is reflected in the decrease of total loss for nearby vehicles (such as discomfort and speed reduction), and the increase of traffic speed and throughput within the LC area. In addition, in order to guide the practical application of our algorithm, we employ the HighD dataset to validate the algorithm. This research could also be regarded as a preliminary foundational work to develop locally-optimal automatic LC algorithm. We anticipate that this research could provide valuable insights into autonomous driving technology.
A two-lane extension of a recently proposed cellular automaton model for traffic flow is discussed. The analysis focuses on the reproduction of the lane usage inversion and the density dependence of the number of lane changes. It is shown that the si ngle-lane dynamics can be extended to the two-lane case without changing the basic properties of the model which are known to be in good agreement with empirical single-vehicle data. Therefore it is possible to reproduce various empirically observed two-lane phenomena, like the synchronization of the lanes, without fine-tuning of the model parameters.
