Optimal Motion Planning of Connected and Automated Vehicles at Signal-Free Intersections with State and Control Constraints

This paper presents the optimal motion planning problem for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to cross a conflict area at an intersection with state and control constraints. First, we formulate the scheduled merging (or crossing) time for all CAVs as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) p...

description This paper presents the optimal motion planning problem for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) to cross a conflict area at an intersection with state and control constraints. First, we formulate the scheduled merging (or crossing) time for all CAVs as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem where the merging time is solved frequently. Second, we formulate the optimal motion planning problem so that the CAVs can achieve their scheduled merging time as well as minimizing the energy consumption. Since we solve the motion planning problem analytically, not all the solutions are feasible to comply with the frequently updated merging time. To solve this problem, we propose a feasibility enforcement period (FEP). Then, we validate the proposed solution through simulation, and the results show that even the merging time is frequently updated, the CAVs can still achieve the merging time with a minimal deviation. Besides, our proposed framework also shows a significant improvement in terms of travel time as compared to the conventional one.
