Unsafe lane-changing behaviors can easily lead to traffic accidents. Drivers usually turn on their turn signals to signal surrounding vehicles before changing lanes. At present, there is a lack of consideration of the impact of turn signals on the lane-changing behavior of intelligent vehicles. Therefore, based on the cellular automata theory, this paper improves the lane-changing rules in the STNS model and proposes a vehicle safe lane-changing model. The model considers the priority scheduling problem of different vehicles’ driving behavior when changing lanes, the influence of driver’s subjective factors on the driving speed when changing lanes, and the relationship between vehicle speed and safe lane-changing distance. After discussion and analysis, the model can reduce the number of lane changes of vehicles, increase the average speed of vehicles, and increase the traffic flow. It provides theoretical support for the safe lane-changing behavior of intelligent networked vehicles in the new era.
With the rise of new technologies such as the Internet of Vehicles and the Internet of Things, research on the intelligent connected vehicle has become a hot topic in contemporary times. The modeling and simulation of traffic flow are mainly used to analyze the characteristics of traffic flow and study the formation and dissipation mechanism of traffic congestion to better guide the real traffic. Cellular automata are suitable for the simulation of complex giant systems. Because of the randomness and discreteness of vehicle driving, cellular automata are often used to model and analyze traffic flow. This article mainly studies the traffic flow formed by intelligent connected vehicles. Based on the traditional NaSch model, the producer-consumer algorithm is introduced to form a multi-buffer vehicle information access mode, and an improved cellular automata model with random updates is constructed. The simulation results show that the improved cellular automata model improves the traffic congestion significantly compared with the original NaSch model in the intelligent network environment, which is consistent with the actual traffic situation. Therefore, the algorithm proposed in this article can effectively simulate the traffic flow characteristics of intelligent connected vehicles, and provide a theoretical basis for solving traffic problems.
