Traffic Control Task Scheduling Optimization Approach of Urban Road Intersection Based on Edge Computing

With the development of Connected Automated Vehicles (CAV), there will be a long period of mixed driving, which causes the traffic control task at intersections becomes much more complicated. The control tasks would include not only the traffic signal timing optimization but also the computing tasks for different levels of vehicles. Current control task management methods are proved to be inferior to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose an intersection control task scheduling optimization approach based on edge computing. Firstly, the traffic control edge computing system for intersections is constructed. Then, different types of control tasks are listed. Criticality and timeliness are introduced to calculate the control task's dynamic priority. The control task scheduling optimization model, which considering these two parameters is proposed. At last, the improved Hungarian algorithm is applied to solve the proposed task scheduling optimization model. Simulation results show that our proposed methods can effectively reduce task processing costs and ensure the critical tasks execute firstly.
