A Computationally Efficient Bi-level Coordination Framework for CAVs at Unsignalized Intersections
In this paper, we investigate cooperative vehicle coordination for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) at unsignalized intersections. To support high traffic throughput while reducing computational complexity, we present a novel collision region model and decompose the optimal coordination problem into two sub-problems: \textit{centralized} priority scheduling and \textit{distributed} trajectory planning. Then, we propose a bi-level coordination framework which includes: (i) a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-based high-level priority scheduler aims to find high-quality passing orders to maximize traffic throughput, and (ii) a priority-based low-level trajectory planner that generates optimal collision-free control inputs. Simulation results demonstrate that our bi-level strategy achieves near-optimal coordination performance, comparable to state-of-the-art centralized strategies, and significantly outperform the traffic signal control systems in terms of traffic throughput. Moreover, our approach exhibits good scalability, with computational complexity scaling linearly with the number of vehicles.
