Abstract

In the urban corridor with a mixed traffic composition of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) alongside human-driven vehicles (HDVs), vehicle operations are intricately influenced by both individual driving behaviors and the presence of signalized intersections. Therefore, the development of a coordinated control strategy that effectively accommodates these dual factors becomes imperative to enhance the overall quality of traffic flow. This study proposes a bi-level structure crafted to decouple the joint effects of the vehicular driving behaviors and corridor signal offsets setting. The objective of this structure is to optimize both the average travel time (ATT) and fuel consumption (AFC). At the lower-level, three types of car-following models while considering driving modes are presented to illustrate the desired driving behaviors of HDVs and CAVs. Moreover, a trigonometry function method combined with a rolling horizon scheme is proposed to generate the eco-trajectory of CAVs in the mixed traffic flow. At the upper-level, a multi-objective optimization model for corridor signal offsets is formulated to minimize ATT and AFC based on the lower-level simulation outputs. Additionally, a revised Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is adopted to identify the set of Pareto-optimal solutions for corridor signal offsets under different CAV penetration rates (CAV PRs). Numerical experiments are conducted within a corridor that encompasses three signalized intersections. The performance of our proposed eco-driving strategy is validated in comparison to the intelligent driver model (IDM) and green light optimal speed advisory (GLOSA) algorithm in single-vehicle simulation. Results show that our proposed strategy yields reduced travel time and fuel consumption to both IDM and GLOSA. Subsequently, the effectiveness of our proposed coordinated control strategy is validated across various CAV PRs. Results indicated that the optimal AFC can be reduced by 4.1%–32.2% with CAV PRs varying from 0.2 to 1, and the optimal ATT can be saved by 2.3% maximum. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the impact of CAV PRs and V/C ratios on the optimal ATT and AFC.
