基于无人机轨迹数据,揭示城市混行交通中横向互动的动态规律。
Beyond Lanes: Traffic Flow Dynamics in Disordered Conditions Based on High-Resolution Trajectory Data

- 用二维扩展的Edie框架分析高分辨率轨迹数据,捕捉横向流动特征。
- 发现拥堵波传播与传统车道流相似,但横向重分配持续存在。
- 揭示车辆类别间差异显著,为混行交通建模提供实证基础。
无序交通表现为强车辆异质性下车道规则弱化或缺失,且存在持续横向交互,挑战传统基于车道的建模假设。本研究基于城市主干道采集的高分辨率无人机轨迹数据,开展宏观与微观层面的实证分析。通过二维扩展的Edie框架量化交通变量,构建二维基本图,表明一维表述无法充分刻画交通状态,并凸显横向重分配的持续作用。从时空速度场直接估算拥堵传播,揭示相干的停走波涌现,其动力学行为与传统车道流类似,尽管存在异质车辆交互。在微观层面,通过稳态跟车-领车识别,分析期望时间间距、最小横向间距、车辆尺寸分布及运动学特性,发现显著的跨车型异质性,解释了无序交通行为。研究建立了一个连接车辆级交互与宏观交通动态的实证框架,为混行交通系统模型的标定与验证提供了数据驱动基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Disordered traffic flow is characterized by weak or non-existent lane discipline in the presence of strong vehicle heterogeneity and continuous lateral interactions, challenging traditional lane-based modeling assumptions. This study presents an empirical study of macroscopic and microscopic aspects of disordered traffic using high-resolution UAV trajectory data collected on an urban arterial. A two-dimensional extension of Edie's framework is applied to quantify aggregate traffic variables and produce a two-dimensional fundamental diagram, revealing that traffic states cannot be adequately represented using one-dimensional formulations and highlighting the persistent role of lateral redistribution. The propagation of congestion is estimated directly from the spatiotemporal speed fields, demonstrating the emergence of coherent stop-and-go waves and showing a similar dynamics as conventional lane-based flow, in spite of the heterogeneous vehicle interactions. At the microscopic level, steady-state follower-leader identification is used to examine desired time gaps and minimum lateral spacing, vehicle dimension distributions, and kinematic characteristics, revealing pronounced inter-class heterogeneity that explains disordered traffic behavior. The study provides an empirical framework linking vehicle-level interactions and aggregate traffic dynamics and establishes a data-driven basis for the calibration and validation of traffic models for disordered mixed traffic systems.
