Abstract
Addressing safe and efficient interaction between connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and human-driven vehicles in a mixed-traffic environment has attracted considerable attention. In this paper, we develop a framework for stochastic time-optimal trajectory planning for coordinating multiple CAVs in mixed-traffic merging scenarios. We present a data-driven model, combining Newell's car-following model with Bayesian linear regression, for efficiently learning the driving behavior of human drivers online. Using the prediction model and uncertainty quantification, a stochastic time-optimal control problem is formulated to find robust trajectories for CAVs. We also integrate a replanning mechanism that determines when deriving new trajectories for CAVs is needed based on the accuracy of the Bayesian linear regression predictions. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of our proposed framework using a realistic simulation environment.
