A Hierarchical Control Framework for Coordinating CAV‐Dedicated Lane Allocation and Signal Timing at Isolated Intersections in Mixed Traffic Environments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the rapid development of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), numerous studies have demonstrated that CAV‐dedicated lanes (CAV‐DLs) can significantly enhance traffic efficiency. However, most existing studies primarily focus on optimizing either CAV trajectory planning or traffic signal control, and the integration of CAV‐DLs and signal control for improved spatiotemporal resource utilization remains underexplored. To address this challenge, this study proposes a hierarchical control framework that integrates CAV‐DLs allocation with signal control. The framework employs two collaborative agents based on the dueling double deep Q‐network (D3QN) algorithm. The upper‐level agent recommends optimal CAV‐DLs configurations based on long‐term traffic flow patterns, while the lower‐level agent focuses on real‐time signal control by adjusting signal parameters and green time allocations in response to current traffic demand. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model effectively adapts to dynamic traffic conditions, significantly improving intersection capacity and reducing delays. Compared with benchmark approaches, the model achieves an average improvement of 31.8% in traffic efficiency. Additionally, the study identifies CAV penetration rate (CAV PR) thresholds of 30% and 60% as appropriate for allocating one and two CAV‐DLs, respectively, at intersections with high traffic volumes. These findings provide valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance for the effective configuration of CAV‐DLs in future traffic systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
