Energy-Efficient Lane Changes Planning and Control for Connected Autonomous Vehicles on Urban Roads (2304.08576v2)

Published 17 Apr 2023 in cs.RO, cs.SY, and eess.SY

Abstract: This paper presents a novel energy-efficient motion planning algorithm for Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) on urban roads. The approach consists of two components: a decision-making algorithm and an optimization-based trajectory planner. The decision-making algorithm leverages Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) information from connected traffic lights to select a lane with the aim of reducing energy consumption. The algorithm is based on a heuristic rule which is learned from human driving data. The optimization-based trajectory planner generates a safe, smooth, and energy-efficient trajectory toward the selected lane. The proposed strategy is experimentally evaluated in a Vehicle-in-the-Loop (VIL) setting, where a real test vehicle receives SPaT information from both actual and virtual traffic lights and autonomously drives on a testing site, while the surrounding vehicles are simulated. The results demonstrate that the use of SPaT information in autonomous driving leads to improved energy efficiency, with the proposed strategy saving 37.1% energy consumption compared to a lane-keeping algorithm.
