Paving green passage for emergency vehicle in heavy traffic: Real-time motion planning under the connected and automated vehicles environment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper describes a real-time multi-vehicle motion planning (MVMP) algorithm for the emergency vehicle clearance task. To address the inherent limitations of human drivers in perception, communication, and cooperation, we require that the emergency vehicle and the surrounding normal vehicles are connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). The concerned MVMP task is to find cooperative trajectories such that the emergency vehicle can efficiently pass through the normal vehicles ahead. We use an optimal-control based formulation to describe the MVMP problem, which is centralized, straightforward, and complete. For the online solutions, the centralized MVMP formulation is converted into a multi-period and multi-stage version. Concretely, each period consists of two stages: the emergency vehicle and several normal CAVs ahead try to form a regularized platoon via acceleration or deceleration (stage 1); when a regularized platoon is formed, these vehicles act cooperatively to make way for the emergency vehicle until the emergency vehicle becomes the leader in this local platoon (stage 2). When one period finishes, the subsequent period begins immediately. This sequential process continues until the emergency vehicle finally passes through all the normal CAVs. The subproblem at stage 1 is extremely easy because nearly all the challenging nonlinearity gathers only in stage 2; typical solutions to the subproblem at stage 2 can be prepared offline, and then implemented online directly. Through this, our proposed MVMP algorithm avoids heavy online computations and thus runs in real time.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
