Abstract

En 中文

The ramp entrance connects the main road and the ramp and is the merging zone for vehicles from main road and ramp. As ramp entrance is considered to be the most accident-prone area, this paper focuses on the early warning to avoid collision of vehicles for the ramp entrance on freeway. Firstly, we studied the relation between the vehicle speed and collision risk by analyzing the vehicle trajectories. Secondly, the risk grades were defined based on the lag of the time when vehicles enter into the merging zone from the main road and the ramp. Finally, the risk grade was released by the information board and vehicle terminal to make driver aware of it, so that the vehicles can pass the merging zone in sequence rather than collide with each other. Theoretical analysis and experiment results show that the proposed method could realize early warning for the ramp entrance, reducing the possible traffic accidents.
