摘要: 高速公路匝道汇入区因车辆速度差大、车流交织复杂,在交通流持续增长的背景下,已成为通行安全与效率的关键瓶颈。针对传统匝道汇入控制方法因缺乏前瞻性预判而导致汇入时机与安全性难以兼顾的问题,本文提出一种融合轨迹预测的自动驾驶车辆匝道汇入控制方法。该方法将汇入决策指令与自车未来轨迹预测信息输入纵向控制模块,通过融合宏观汇入意图与微观未来位置演化信息,生成兼顾安全和效率的优化加速度控制量。为确保准确反映真实交通环境下的驾驶特性,本文基于exiD公开数据集与西安绕城高速实地采集数据,构建真实汇入场景数据集,并以此为基础分别训练Autoformer轨迹预测模型与GWO-XGBoost(Grey Wolf Optimizer-eXtreme Gradient Boosting)横向汇入决策模型。在此基础上,构建融合Autoformer、GWO-XGBoost与DDQN(Double Deep Q-Network)的一体化汇入控制模型。仿真实验结果表明,所提模型平均汇入成功率达98.21%,显著优于XGBoost-DDQN、LC2013-DDQN和DDQN等对比模型,汇入效率与安全性方面也表现更优。进一步通过SHAP(Shapley Additive Explanations)可解释性分析发现,匝道汇入车辆当前位置、预测位置以及主干道车辆位置是影响控制输出的关键因素,验证所提模型能够有效利用时序信息实现更合理的汇入决策。

Abstract: The ramp merging area of expressways has become a key bottleneck for traffic safety and efficiency due to the large speed difference and complex weaving of vehicle flows, especially against the backdrop of continuous traffic growth. A lane changing control method for autonomous vehicles at highway on-ramp merging areas is proposed in this paper. It aims to address the critical safety and efficiency bottlenecks caused by large speed differences and complex weaving under increasing traffic demand. The lack of predictive capability of traditional ramp merging control methods makes it hard to coordinate merging timing and safety, so the proposed method embeds merging decisions and predicted vehicle trajectories into the longitudinal control module. By combining the macro-level merging intentions with micro-level future position information, it generates an optimized acceleration profile that balances safety and efficiency. To reflect the real driving behavior, this paper builds a realistic merging scenario dataset with the public exiD dataset and field data from the Xi'an Ring Expressway. This dataset is used to train the Autoformer-based trajectory prediction model and the GWO-XGBoost lateral merging decision model. On this basis, an integrated merging control framework is developed by combining Autoformer, GWO-XGBoost, and DDQN. Simulation results show that the average merging success rate of proposed method reaches 98.21%, which is markedly higher than those of XGBoost-DDQN, LC2013-DDQN, and DDQN. The proposed method also improves merging efficiency and safety. SHAP-based interpretability analysis further shows that the current and predicted positions of the merging vehicle, together with the positions of mainline vehicles, are the dominant factors to shape the control outputs. This confirms that the model can effectively use temporal information to support more rational merging decisions.
