The mountain roads are curved and complicated, with undulating terrain and large distance between charging stations. Compared with traditional powered vehicles, in addition to safety issues, pure electric vehicles also need to deal with the driving range issue. At present, the relevant researches on automobile driving in mountainous areas mainly focus on the driving safety of traditional fuel oil vehicles when going uphill and downhill, while there are few researches on the driving planning of pure electric commercial vehicles on curved slope road. This paper presents a speed planning method for pure electric commercial vehicles based on vehicle-road collaboration technology. First, establish the vehicle dynamics model, analyze the vehicle dynamics characteristics when passing the downhill curve, calculate the safe speed range of the vehicle when passing the downhill curve, and establish the safe speed model of the downhill curve.

Lane changing manoeuvers is an essential rudiment in vehicle driving and has a significant impact on the characteristics of traffic flow. In the case of traditional cars, the driver operates the vehicle to complete the lane change whilst for autonomous vehicles, completing the lane change requires planning the lane change trajectory and controlling the vehicle speed during the lane change. Unreasonable lane change trajectory and vehicle speed may cause the vehicle to lose stability, threaten driving safety, increase energy consumption and waste energy. This paper considers the safety and economy of the lane changing process, and proposes a new lane changing method for vehicles.
