Characteristic Analysis and Decision Model of Lane-Changing Game for Intelligent Connected Vehicles

Abstract

To study the lane-change interaction characteristics of intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) and reduce the risk of vehicle lane-changing decisions, a decision model based on the lane-changing game characteristics of the ICV is proposed in this paper. In the modeling process, the characteristics of vehicle lane-changing interaction behavior are analyzed based on evolutionary game theory and the vehicle game lane-changing payoff functions are quantified. The stability of the game equilibrium points is analyzed by using a dynamic evolution equation, and sensitivity analysis of the main factors affecting vehicle lane changes and the time to the collision of vehicles is conducted. The SUMO software is used to simulate and verify the vehicle game decision model, and the results show that the game decision system converges to different optimal strategy combinations under different traffic conditions, and this model can effectively reduce the decision-making conflict and the collision risk of vehicles.
