Description

本願発明は、主として車両の市街地走行における渋滞の低減、旅行時間の低減、および省エネルギー・地球温暖化ガス排出削減、に有効な交差点無停止走行制御システムに関する。 The present invention relates to an intersection non-stop running control system that is effective mainly for reducing traffic congestion in urban driving of vehicles, reducing travel time, and reducing energy saving and global warming gas emissions.

交通渋滞の主たる原因は車両の速度変動であり、市街地走行における速度変動の最たる
原因は交差点における減速・停止およびその後の加速である。
この交差点走行における速度変動を抑える方法として、特許文献1あるいは特許文献2
に示されている交差点無停止走行制御方法がある。
これは図1、あるいは図2に示す如く、地点(交差点)A上流一定距離Dの地点Pを時
刻tp1〜tp3 の交差点信号一周期Tsの間に通過して地点Aに向かう全車両を、時刻ta2〜ta3の交差点青信号時間Tg の間に地点Aに到達・通過させるように速度制御を行うものである。
The main cause of traffic congestion is vehicle speed fluctuations, and the most common cause of speed fluctuations in urban driving is deceleration / stop at intersections and subsequent acceleration.
Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 as a method of suppressing speed fluctuations during traveling at an intersection.
There is an intersection non-stop running control method shown in.
As shown in FIG. 1 or 2, all vehicles passing through the point P at a certain distance D upstream of the point (intersection) A during one cycle Ts of the intersection signal at times tp1 to tp3 and heading for the point A are timed. The speed is controlled so that the point A is reached and passed during the green light time Tg at the intersection of ta2 to ta3.

ここで上記地点Pを時刻tp1〜tp3 の交差点信号一周期Tsの間の時刻tpに通過する
車両の地点A到達時刻taの設定方法として、図1に示す如く、時刻tp1〜tp3の交差点信号一周期Ts中の特定地点P通過時刻tpを、交差点青信号時間Tg中の地点到達時刻taに対応させる、即ち、時刻tpと時刻taは下記(数1)の関係を満足させる方法(方法1)、
(数1)
(tp −tp1)/Ts =(ta−ta2)/Tg
あるいは、図2に示すごとく、車両が時刻tp1〜tp2の間に地点Pを通過した場合即ち
tpがtp1<tp≦tp2の時は、地点A到達時刻taはta=ta2 、
また車両が時刻tp2〜tp3の間に地点Pを通過した場合即ちtpがtp2<tp≦tp3の時は、tp−tp2=ta−ta2 、(ta=tp+(ta2−tp2)、
言い換えれば地点P−地点A間車両走行速度vpa=vp、ここでvp:車両の地点P到達
速度)となるようにtaを設定する方法(方法2)、
がある。
但し、方法1、方法2のいずれにおいても、自車前方に走行車両を検知した場合は前方車両との安全車両間隔を保っての追従走行が前提となる。
Here, as a method of setting the arrival time ta of the point A of the vehicle passing through the above point P at the time tp during one cycle Ts of the intersection signal of the time tp1 to tp3, as shown in FIG. 1, the intersection signal 1 of the time tp1 to tp3 A method (method 1) in which a specific point P passage time tp in the period Ts corresponds to a point arrival time ta in the intersection green light time Tg, that is, the time tp and the time ta satisfy the following relationship (Equation 1).
(Number 1)
(Tp-tp1) / Ts = (ta-ta2) / Tg
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, when the vehicle passes the point P between the times tp1 and tp2, that is, when tp is tp1 <tp ≤ tp2, the point A arrival time ta is ta = ta2.
When the vehicle passes the point P between the times tp2 and tp3, that is, when tp2 <tp ≤ tp3, tp-tp2 = ta-ta2, (ta = tp + (ta2-tp2)).
In other words, a method of setting ta so that the vehicle traveling speed between point P and point A is vpa = vp, ( here vp: vehicle reaching point P arrival speed),
There is.
However, in both methods 1 and 2, when a traveling vehicle is detected in front of the own vehicle, it is premised that the vehicle follows the vehicle while maintaining a safe vehicle distance from the vehicle in front.

方法1では、地点P通過の車両間隔に比例した地点A到着車両間隔となり、交通容量の許す範囲内で、交通流の安定は保たれやすいが、方法2では交差点A付近での車両間隔が接近することによる追従走行の頻度が増して交通流の安定が損なわれる恐れがある。 In method 1, the distance between vehicles arriving at point A is proportional to the distance between vehicles passing through point P, and it is easy to maintain stable traffic flow within the range allowed by traffic capacity, but in method 2, the distance between vehicles near intersection A approaches. This may increase the frequency of follow-up driving and impair the stability of the traffic flow.

また、上記方法1あるいは方法2においては、地点Pを地点(交差点)A上流一定距離Dの地点としているが、これでは、車両の地点P到達・通過速度vpが変化すると、地点A到達時刻ta2〜ta3に対応する地点P到達通過時刻が、例えば図3に示す如く、変化してしまい、その結果として安定的に形成されるべき交差点無停止走行制御時間領域が、車両の地点P到達速度vp1においては時刻tp1〜tp3〜ta3〜ta2であるのに対し、車両の地点P到達速度vp2においては時刻tp1’〜tp3’〜ta3〜ta2の如く変化する、言い換えれば、地点A到達時刻ta2〜ta3に対応すべき車両の地点P通過時刻tp1〜tp3が速度vpによって変化し、この結果交差点無停止走行の安定性・安全性の確保が困難となる。
これが従来の交差点無停止走行制御システムにおいて解決すべき第1の課題である。

Further, in the above method 1 or 2, the point P is set as the point of the point (intersection) A upstream constant distance D, but in this case, when the vehicle reaches the point P and the passing speed vp changes, the point A arrival time ta2 As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the time at which the point P arrives and passes corresponding to ~ ta3 changes, and as a result, the intersection non-stop running control time region that should be stably formed is the point P arrival speed vp1 of the vehicle. In the time tp1 to tp3 to ta3 to ta2, the vehicle's point P arrival speed vp2 changes like the time tp1'to tp3' to ta3 to ta2 , in other words, the point A arrival time ta2 to ta3. The passing time tp1 to tp3 of the vehicle to correspond to the point P changes depending on the speed vp, and as a result, it becomes difficult to ensure the stability and safety of the non-stop running at the intersection.
This is the first problem to be solved in the conventional intersection non-stop traveling control system.

また、上記ta設定方法では、例えば図5中の時刻−速度関係に示される如く、地点P
を時刻tpに通過して地点(交差点)Aに向かう車両の速度は、(数2)に示す如く、地点Pに至るまでの走行速度vpから地点P到達時において速度vpaに変化させ、その後地点Aまでの間、前記速度vpaを保って走行しなければならず、地点Pでの走行速度vpから速度vpaへの急激で正確な速度変化制御が困難となる場合があることと併せて、前記急激な速度変化が後続車両に対して急制動を促し安定な交通流に障害が生ずる恐れがある。
これが従来の交差点無停止走行制御において解決すべき第2の課題となる。
(数2)
vpa=D(vp)/(ta −tp)
Further, in the above ta setting method, for example, as shown in the time-velocity relationship in FIG. 5, the point P
As shown in (Equation 2), the speed of the vehicle passing through the time tp and heading for the point (intersection) A is changed from the traveling speed vp to the point P to the speed vpa when the point P is reached, and then the point. Until A, the vehicle must maintain the speed vpa, and it may be difficult to control the rapid and accurate speed change from the traveling speed vp to the speed vpa at the point P. there is a possibility that sudden speed change failure occurs in a stable traffic flow encourages rapid braking for the following vehicle.
This is the second problem to be solved in the conventional intersection non-stop running control.
(Number 2)
vpa = D (vp) / (ta −tp)

本願発明は、所定の速度範囲(vpmin〜vpmax)で交差点無停止走行領域に侵入する(交通容量の許容する範囲内の)車両全てを、安全かつ容易に交差点を無停止走行制御可能にする方法・システムを提供しようとするものである。 The present invention is a method for safely and easily controlling an intersection without stopping for all vehicles (within the allowable range of traffic capacity) that enter the intersection non-stop traveling area within a predetermined speed range (vpmin to vpmax).・ It is intended to provide a system.

上記第1の課題即ち、方法1および方法2における交差点無停止走行領域の安定性に関する問題の原因は、地点P−地点A間距離Dを、車両の地点Pに到達する速度vp如何にかかわらず一定(D)としているところにある。
従って図4に示す如く、距離Dを速度vpに比例させる即ち、
(数3)
D(vp)={D(vpmax)/vpmax}・vp
とする必要がある。
この結果D(vp)は図4に示す如く変化し、交差点無停止走行時間領域(時刻tp1〜tp3〜ta3〜ta2)は速度vpに依らず(但し、vpmin≦vp≦vpmaxの範囲内で)固定して形成されることになる。
The cause of the problem concerning the stability of the intersection non-stop traveling region in the first problem, that is, the method 1 and the method 2, is regardless of the speed vp at which the distance D between the point P and the point A reaches the point P of the vehicle. It is in a constant (D) position.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the distance D is proportional to the velocity vp, that is,
(Number 3)
D (vp) = {D (vpmax) / vpmax} ・ vp
Must be.
As a result, D (vp) changes as shown in FIG. 4, and the intersection non-stop running time region (time tp1 to tp3 to ta3 to ta2) does not depend on the speed vp (however, within the range of vpmin ≤ vp ≤ vpmax). It will be fixed and formed.

また、前述の第2の課題の対策としては、特許文献3に示される方法がある。
これは図5に示す如く、地点Pから交差点Aまでの間を前記速度vpaでの定速走行に代えて、地点Pから交差点Aまでの間を平均速度vpaとなるような等加減速度varf(Δt) での走行を行う方法である。
(数4)
varf(Δt)=vp−α・Δt
(数5)
α=−(va−vp)/(ta −tp)
ここで
Δt:時刻tpからの経過時間(0≦Δt≦(ta−tp))
この方法によって、地点Pにおける速度vpから速度vpaへの急激な速度変化を防止することは可能となるが、車両の地点P到達速度vp次第では、地点Pから交差点Aまでの間の等加・減速走行の結果、交差点A到達・通過速度vaが過小あるいは過大となり、最悪の場合等加・減速走行が不可能になる恐れ、あるいは地点Pから交差点Aまでの走行が交差点無停止走行制御時間領域を大きくはみ出してしまう恐れが生じる。
Further, as a countermeasure against the above-mentioned second problem, there is a method shown in Patent Document 3.
As shown in FIG. 5, this is an equal acceleration / deceleration varf such that the average speed vpa is obtained from the point P to the intersection A instead of the constant speed running at the speed vpa between the point P and the intersection A. This is a method of traveling at Δt).
(Number 4)
varf (Δt) = vp−α ・ Δt
(Number 5)
α =-(va-vp) / (ta-tp)
here
Δt: Elapsed time from time tp (0 ≦ Δt ≦ (ta−tp)) .
By this method, it is possible to prevent a sudden speed change from the speed vp to the speed vpa at the point P, but depending on the speed vp reached at the point P of the vehicle, the equalization between the point P and the intersection A is possible. As a result of deceleration running, the intersection A arrival / passing speed vah becomes too small or too large, and in the worst case, acceleration / deceleration running may become impossible, or the running from point P to intersection A is the intersection non-stop running control time area. There is a risk that the speed will be greatly exceeded.

上記第2の課題を解決する第1の手段として、前記の如く、交差点無停止走行制御時間領域(時刻tp1〜時刻tp3〜時刻ta3〜時刻ta2で形成される領域)は、交差点無停止走行制御時間領域侵入速度vpに対応した距離D(vp)の地点Pvpにおける時刻tp1 〜tp3を含む走行制御時間領域とすることによって、前記速度制御された車両の交差点無停止走行制御時間領域からのはみだしはなくなる。
また上記問題を解決する第2の手段として、地点Pvp−地点A間走行での走行形態として等加速度走行は禁止し等減速走行に限定するとともに、地点Pvp到達・通過速度vpに対応して、地点A到達・通過速度vaを
(数6)
va≧vamin=β・vp
(ここで、β<1(例えばβ=0.2))
となるように、地点P−地点A間距離D(vp)、および 通過すべき交差点Aの非青信号時間(黄信号時間+赤信号時間)Tr(=Ts−Tg)を設定する。
As a first means for solving the second problem, as described above, the intersection non-stop running control time region (the region formed by time tp1 to time tp3 to time ta3 to time ta2) is the intersection non-stop running control. By setting the travel control time region including the times tp1 to tp3 at the point Pvp at the distance D (vp) corresponding to the time region intrusion speed vp, the protrusion from the intersection non-stop travel control time region of the speed-controlled vehicle is It disappears.
Further, as a second means for solving the above problem, as a traveling mode between the point Pvp and the point A , the constant acceleration traveling is prohibited and limited to the equal deceleration traveling, and the point Pvp arrival / passing speed vp is supported. Point A arrival / passing speed va (Equation 6)
va ≧ vamin = β ・ vp
(Here, β <1 (for example, β = 0.2))
The distance D (vp) between the point P and the point A and the non-green signal time (yellow signal time + red signal time) Tr (= Ts-Tg) of the intersection A to be passed are set so as to be.

上記D(vp)およびvaminの設定の結果、交差点無停止走行制御領域(時刻tp1〜時刻tp3〜時刻ta3〜時刻ta2で形成される走行制御領域)における時刻tp3−時刻ta3間走行速度vp3a3は、
(数7)
vp3a3=vp
時刻tp1−時刻ta2間速度vp1a2(交差点無停止走行制御領域最小平均速度)は、
(数8)
vp1a2=vmin=(vp+vamin)/2
従って、上記(数8)と図5より
(数9)
{(vp+vamin)/2}≦〔D(vp)/{(D(vp)/vp)+Tr}〕
となるように vp、vamin、およびD(vp)、Trを設定する必要があることがわかる。
As a result of setting D (vp) and vamin, the traveling speed vp3a3 between time tp3 and time ta3 in the intersection non-stop traveling control area (travel control area formed by time tp1 to time tp3 to time ta3 to time ta2) is determined.
(Number 7)
vp3a3 = vp
The speed vp1a2 (minimum average speed in the intersection non-stop running control area) between time tp1 and time ta2 is
(Number 8)
vp1a2 = vmin = (vp + vamin) / 2
Therefore, from the above (Equation 8) and FIG. 5 (Equation 9)
{(Vp + vamin) / 2} ≤ [D (vp) / {(D (vp) / vp) + Tr}]
It can be seen that it is necessary to set vp, vamin, D (vp), and Tr so as to be.

そこで上記車両の走行速度vpに対応した地点A上流距離D(vp)地点Pvpにおける車両到達・通過時刻tpから車両の地点A到達時刻taを特定し、この間の平均速度vpa
(数10)
vpa=D(vp)/(ta−tp)
および、この平均速度vpaである時刻tp−時刻ta間を等減速度走行する場合の平均速度vpaと、地点P侵入速度、地点A到達通過速度の関係
(数11)
vpa=(vp+vamin)/2
から、この間を等減速走行する場合の減速度αを
(数12)
α=−(vamin−vp)/(ta−tp)=−2(vpa−vp)/(ta−tp)
より算出し、地点Pから
(数13)
v(Δt)=vp−α・Δt
但し
Δt:時刻tp からの経過時間
(0≦Δt≦ta−tp)
即ち、地点Pvp通過速度vp から減速度αの等減速度走行(但しα=0の場合はv=vpの等速度走行)をすることによって、地点Aに速度va(但し、va≧vamin)で到達し、交差点Aを青信号無停止で、かつvamin以上の速度で通過・離脱できることになる。
Therefore, the arrival time ta of the vehicle point A is specified from the vehicle arrival / passage time tp at the point A upstream distance D (vp) point Pvp corresponding to the traveling speed vp of the vehicle, and the average speed vpa during this period is specified.
(Number 10)
vpa = D (vp) / (ta-tp)
And, the relationship between the average speed vpa when traveling at a constant deceleration between the time tp and the time ta, which is the average speed vpa, the point P intrusion speed, and the point A arrival passing speed (Equation 11).
vpa = (vp + vamin) / 2
Therefore, the deceleration α when traveling at equal deceleration during this period is set to (Equation 12).
α =-(vamin-vp) / (ta-tp) = -2 (vpa-vp) / (ta-tp)
Calculated from point P (number 13)
v (Δt) = vp−α · Δt
However, Δt: elapsed time from time tp (0 ≦ Δt ≦ ta−tp)
That is, by performing constant deceleration running of deceleration α from the point Pvp passing speed vp (however, when α = 0, v = vp constant speed running), the speed va (however, va ≧ vamin) is reached at the point A. After reaching the intersection, the green light will not stop and the vehicle will be able to pass and leave at a speed of vamin or higher.

ただしこの方法にも減速度αの値によっては、(例えばα<αi、(但しαi:車両の惰性走行減速度)状態にあっては)その制御(等減速走行における減速度制御)が難しくなることがあるという問題がある。
この問題の解決方法として、時刻tp1〜時刻tp3間に地点Pvpを通過する車両全てを等減速走行させるのではなく、前記図2に示す方法に類似して、時刻tp1〜時刻tp2に地点Pvpを通過して地点Aに向かう車両の地点A到達時刻をta2となるように、また、時刻tp2〜時刻tp3の間に地点Pを通過して地点Aに向かう車両は全て速度vpでの定速走行とする、(但し走行中に前方走行車両に遭遇した場合は安全車間距離を保っての前方車両への追従走行を行う)ことによって、所定の交差点無停止走行を可能とする(但し交通容量に不足がない場合)方法がある。
However, even in this method, depending on the value of deceleration α (for example, in the state of α <αi, (however, αi: vehicle coasting deceleration)), its control (deceleration control in constant deceleration running) becomes difficult. There is a problem that there are times.
As a solution to this problem, instead of all the vehicles passing through the point Pvp running at equal deceleration between the time tp1 and the time tp3, the point Pvp is set at the time tp1 to the time tp2 similar to the method shown in FIG. All vehicles passing through point P and heading for point A will run at a constant speed at speed vp so that the time of arrival at point A of vehicles passing through and heading for point A will be ta2, and all vehicles passing through point P and heading for point A between time tp2 and time tp3 will run at a constant speed. (However, if a vehicle traveling ahead is encountered while driving, the vehicle will follow the vehicle in front while maintaining a safe inter-vehicle distance) to enable non-stop driving at a predetermined intersection (however, the traffic capacity will be increased). There is a method ( if there is no shortage) .

あるいは、上記方法の変形として、時刻tp1以降最初(時刻:tpfとする)に地点Pvpを通過した車両(車両:Cfとする)のみ車両の地点A到達時刻目標をta2とし、時刻tpf以降時刻tp3までの間に地点Pvpを通過した車両は全て地点Pvpへの到達・通過速度vpを保っての地点Aに向けての定速走行とする方法もある。
この方法の利点は、地点Pvpからの走行は車輛Cfを除いて全て速度vpでの定速走行で良いということ、従って車両Cfでの唯一の等減速度走行も、比較的大きな減速度α、言い換えれば、惰性走行減速度αiより大きい減速度での走行が可能になり等減速度走行が実行しやすくなることである。
但し、この方法においては、地点Pvp到達・通過車両が車両Cfであるか否かの判別が必要になることと併せて、Cf以外の車両においては、等速度走行中に前方走行車両に遭遇した場合は安全車間距離を保っての前方車両への追従走行を行うこと、が大前提となる。
Alternatively, as a modification of the above method, only the vehicle (vehicle: Cf) that first passed the point Pvp after the time tp1 (time: tpf) has the vehicle's point A arrival time target set to ta2, and the time tp3 after the time tpf. There is also a method in which all vehicles that have passed the point Pvp in the meantime travel at a constant speed toward the point A while maintaining the arrival / passing speed vp at the point Pvp.
The advantage of this method is that all travel from point Pvp can be constant speed travel at speed vp except for vehicle Cf, so the only uniform deceleration travel on vehicle Cf is also a relatively large deceleration α, In other words, it is possible to travel at a deceleration larger than the inertial traveling deceleration αi, and it becomes easier to execute equal deceleration traveling.
However, in this method, it is necessary to determine whether or not the vehicle reaching / passing the point Pvp is the vehicle Cf, and in addition to the fact that the vehicle other than the Cf encounters a vehicle traveling ahead while traveling at a constant speed. In this case, it is a major premise to follow the vehicle in front while maintaining a safe distance between vehicles.

本願発明によって、車両の地点Pvp到達速度による交差点無停止走行制御領域(時刻
tp1〜時刻tp3〜時刻ta3〜時刻ta2で形成される走行制御領域)は固定化され、かつ車

即ち、本願発明は、現状の交差点無停止走行制御システムとしては勿論、今後普及が予
想される自動運転車における交差点無停止走行制御システムとして、きわめて有効な交差点走行システムであると言える。
According to the present invention, the intersection non-stop travel control region (travel control region formed by time tp1 to time tp3 to time ta3 to time ta2) according to the vehicle's point Pvp arrival speed is fixed, and the vehicle reaches the point Pvp. It is possible to reach and pass through intersection A at a speed of vamin or higher with respect to the speed vp at the time of passing, and as a result, it is possible to effectively reduce traffic congestion, save energy, and reduce global warming gas compared to conventional intersection non-stop driving control. It is possible to pass through intersections without stopping by traveling with a discharge effect.
That is, it can be said that the present invention is an extremely effective intersection travel control system not only as the current intersection non-stop travel control system but also as an intersection non-stop travel control system for autonomous vehicles that are expected to become widespread in the future.

本願発明を実施するためには、車両はインフラ側から青信号無停止で通過すべき交差点の位置情報および交差点信号情報(時刻ta1、時刻ta2、時刻ta3、の各情報)を、獲得する必要がある。
また車両側においては、自車走行速度vp範囲 (vpmin≦vp≦vpmax ) および交差点通過最小速度vaminを設定して、前記インフラ側および車側各情報から図4に示す(地点Pvpに到達する車両速度vpに対応した)交差点無停止走行制御時間領域(時刻tp1〜時刻tp3〜時刻ta3〜時刻ta2 で形成される領域、但し地点Pvp−地点A間距離D(vp)、交差点信号非青信号時間(Tr=Ts−Tg)、および地点A到達・通過最小速度vamin、は、(数6)、(数8)および(数9)の関係を満足するように設定)の地点Pvp−地点A間の距離D(vp)を等減速走行あるいは等速度走行する(従って車両は等減速走行機能、等速度走行機能を有する必要がある)ことによって交差点A(地点A)の青信号無停止走行が可能となる。
In order to carry out the present invention, the vehicle needs to acquire the position information of the intersection and the intersection signal information (each information of time ta1, time ta2, time ta3) to pass without stopping the green light from the infrastructure side. ..
On the vehicle side, the own vehicle running speed vp range (vpmin ≤ vp ≤ vpmax) and the minimum intersection speed vamin are set, and the vehicle reaching the point Pvp is shown in FIG. 4 from the above infrastructure side and vehicle side information. Intersection non-stop running control time area (corresponding to speed vp) Area formed by time tp1 to time tp3 to time ta3 to time ta2, except for the distance D (vp) between point Pvp and point A, intersection signal non-green signal time ( (Tr = Ts-Tg) and the minimum arrival / passage velocity vamin at point A are set to satisfy the relationship between (Equation 6), (Equation 8) and (Equation 9)) between point Pvp and point A). By traveling at a constant deceleration or a constant speed over a distance D (vp) (therefore, the vehicle must have an equal deceleration traveling function and an equal speed traveling function), the green light non-stop traveling at the intersection A (point A) becomes possible. ..

上記の如く、信号交差点およびそこを通過する車両の走行を制御することによって、信号交差点上流地点P(vp)に速度vp で到達・通過する車両全て(但し vpmin≦vp≦vpmax)を青信号無停止で通過させることができ、市街地における車両走行の省エネルギー化、地球温暖化ガスの低減、交通流の安定化、および走行時間の低減に貢献する交差点無停止走行制御が可能となる。
本制御システムは自動運転車における交差点走行に特に有効である。
As described above, by controlling the running of the signalized intersection and the vehicles passing there, all the vehicles reaching and passing the signalized intersection upstream point P (vp) at a speed vp (however, vpmin ≤ vp ≤ vpmax) are stopped at the green light. It enables non-stop running control at intersections, which contributes to energy saving of vehicle running in urban areas, reduction of global warming gas, stabilization of traffic flow, and reduction of running time.
This control system is particularly effective for driving at intersections in autonomous vehicles.
