摘要: 传统驾驶模拟器难以精确模拟车联网环境中的复杂交互，如车速变化和车道变更。而连接虚拟现实（virtual reality，VR）的驾驶模拟器可以通过先进的传感器和实时数据处理，更逼真地还原车辆物理特性、交通流动态及实际道路环境。采用虚拟现实设备和驾驶模拟器，深入探索网联环境下的驾驶人自由换道行为与安全特征。基于交通仿真和三维建模技术搭建驾驶人自由换道实验系统，并建立自由换道场景库，进而开展驾驶人自由换道行为实验；基于广义估计方程建立驾驶人换道的间距选择模型和换道时间模型；基于加速失效模型分析网联环境对驾驶人自由换道行为的安全影响。研究结果表明：①网联环境下，女性驾驶人的自由换道间距与时间更长，年轻驾驶人的自由换道间距与时间更短；②每提高1 m/s2的加速度噪声，自由换道时的碰撞风险降低28%，每提高1 m的自由换道间距，自由换道时的碰撞风险增加1.1%；③年龄较大的驾驶人自由换道安全性更高，其中，中老年驾驶人（＞40岁）自由换道时的碰撞时间（time-to-collision，TTC）比青年驾驶人（＞27~40岁）、年轻驾驶人（＞18~27岁）分别高38.3%，64.3%；④女性驾驶人比男性驾驶人自由换道安全性更高，女性驾驶人自由换道时的TTC比男性驾驶人高20.1%。与普通环境相比：①驾驶人在网联环境下自由换道间距增加1.16 m、换道时间增加2.41 s、换道安全水平提高19.72%；②自由换道事故发生概率随着碰撞风险持续时间增加而降低，其中，碰撞风险持续时间为1，2，3，4 s时，网联环境下的自由换道事故发生概率比普通环境下分别低5.8%，17.2%，14.4%，3.0%，且该概率在不同性别、年龄的驾驶人自由换道中差异显著。Abstract: Traditional driving simulators need help to accurately simulate complex interactions, such as speed variations and lane changes in connected vehicle environments. The connected virtual reality (VR) driving simulator can more realistically replicate vehicle physical characteristics, traffic flow dynamics, and actual road environments using advanced sensors and real-time data processing. A driving simulation system for free lane-changing experiments is developed using traffic simulation and 3D modeling technologies, based on which a scenario library is established and further carry out experiments about free lane-changing behavior. Generalized estimating equations is adopted to establish models of gap selection and lane-changing time. An accelerated failure time model is adopted to analyze the safety impact of the connected environment on free lane-changing behavior. The results can be concluded in two aspects. In connected environments: ① Female drivers exhibit longer lane-changing gaps and need more time. Younger drivers show shorter gaps and need less time. ②An increase of 1 m/s2 in acceleration noise can reduce collision risk by 28% during lane changes, and a 1 m increase in lane-changing gap can increase collision risk by 1.1%.③Older drivers have a higher level of lane-changing safety. Middle-aged and elderly drivers (> 40 years old) show 38.3% and 64.3% higher regarding time-to-collision (TTC) than young (> 27~40 years old) and younger drivers (> 18~27 years old) do. ④Female drivers have a higher level of lane-changing safety than male drivers do, with a 20.1% higher of TTC during free lane-changes. Compared to non-connected environments: ①Drivers in connected environments show a 1.16 m increase in lane-changing gap, a 2.41 s increase in lane-changing time and a 19.72% improvement in the level of safety. ②The probability of occurring lane-changing accidents decreases with the increase of collision risk durations. Specifically, it reduces by 5.8%, 17.2%, 14.4%, and 3.0% at 1, 2, 3, and 4 s of collision risk duration, respectively. These probabilities vary significantly across drivers'genders and ages.
