Priority Selection of Road Traffic Net-Works in Emergency Situations Based on Internet of Vehicles

Abstract

The current emergency vehicle priority control methods in road traffic net-works are difficult to cope with the increasing traffic demand. Therefore, a traffic control method based on multi-vehicle collaborative lane change strategy, fleet convergence and gap adjustment model is proposed and its effectiveness is verified. These experiments confirmed that the speed of vehicle Cj+1 under strategy 1 showed a positive correlation with time at 0-5s, reaching an extreme value of 16.85 m/s around 4s, and a negative correlation after 5s. Under strategy 2, its speed showed a negative correlation with time at 0-4s, and a parallel relation-ship after 4s. The multi-vehicle col-laborative lane changing strategy was validated. Except for fleet C with a density of +0.0333m-1, the actual adjustment time of vehicle C1 was gradually increasing at all other densities. The maximum time for B1 adjustment was 9.358s, and the maximum time for C1 adjustment was 10.798s. The longitudinal relative dis-placement of C1 was larger than that of B1. In addition, compared with Model T, the research method increased the average vehicle speed by 12.64% under four different flow rates. Compared with Model Y, the average flow rate of the research method under the four experimental flows was 1.45%. Overall, the research method is effective and feasible in the priority selection control of road traffic net-works. It improves the operational efficiency of emergency vehicle sections and can be effectively applied in actual traffic net-works.
