Abstract:

A real-vehicle driving test was carried out in order to study the vehicle trajectory oscillation characteristics on an urban main road. The Caiyuanba Yangtze River Bridge and the Binjiang Road on the Yangtze River in the Chongqing city were chosen as research objects. Onboard instruments collected data on driving speed, vehicle position, and lateral distance between the vehicle centroid and the lane under natural driving conditions. The results show that most vehicles tend to deviate from the center of the lane and drive to the left. The vehicle is more inclined to move towards the road center on the bridge section. Female drivers pay more attention to controlling vehicle trajectory than male drivers. Skilled drivers have better control over vehicle trajectory than unskilled drivers on the road surface. Compared with human driving, the autonomous vehicle can control its trajectory more accurately with the trajectory lateral oscillation will be significantly reduced. The lane width of 2.75~3.00 m can meet the driving requirements of an autonomous vehicle.

Key words: human natural driving, autonomous vehicle, vehicle track, trajectory oscillation, urban vehicle lane width
