提出分层框架,在保证安全前提下实现路口公平通行

Fair and Safe: A Real-Time Hierarchical Control Framework for Intersections

  • 分层控制:上层分配通行权,下层用LQR与高阶屏障函数保障安全
  • 仿真显示零碰撞、平均延迟降低,公平性接近完美
  • 适合关注自动驾驶交通系统公平与实时安全的工程师

在交通安全关键的实时交通控制中,确保联网自动驾驶车辆在路口协调时的公平性对于公平接入、社会接受度和长期系统效率至关重要,但目前仍研究不足。本文提出一种公平感知的分层控制框架,将不平等厌恶显式融入路口管理。顶层为集中式分配模块,通过最大化包含等待时间、紧急程度、控制历史和速度偏差的效用函数,选择单一车辆执行其轨迹;底层由授权车辆使用预计算轨迹,结合线性二次调节器(LQR)与高阶控制屏障函数(HOCBF)的安全滤波器,实现实时防碰撞。在不同交通需求与分布下的仿真结果表明,该框架实现了近完美的公平性,消除碰撞,降低平均延迟,并保持实时可行性。结果表明,公平性可系统性地融入而不牺牲安全或性能,为未来自动驾驶交通系统的可扩展、公平协调提供支持。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Ensuring fairness in the coordination of connected and automated vehicles at intersections is essential for equitable access, social acceptance, and long-term system efficiency, yet it remains underexplored in safety-critical, real-time traffic control. This paper proposes a fairness-aware hierarchical control framework that explicitly integrates inequity aversion into intersection management. At the top layer, a centralized allocation module assigns control authority (i.e., selects a single vehicle to execute its trajectory) by maximizing a utility that accounts for waiting time, urgency, control history, and velocity deviation. At the bottom layer, the authorized vehicle executes a precomputed trajectory using a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and applies a high-order Control Barrier Function (HOCBF)-based safety filter for real-time collision avoidance. Simulation results across varying traffic demands and demand distributions demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves near-perfect fairness, eliminates collisions, reduces average delay, and maintains real-time feasibility. These results highlight that fairness can be systematically incorporated without sacrificing safety or performance, enabling scalable and equitable coordination for future autonomous traffic systems.
