Traffic congestion exists widely in the underground transportation of mines, which damages mobility traffic system and brings safety hazards. Leveraging advantages connected automated vehicle (CAV) technologies, this study proposes a novel approach for efficiently organizing vehicles scheduled manner. With implementation vehicle-infrastructure cooperation, CAVs are supposed to travel with pace space-time passages that designed on each link fulfill their trips. In addition, trajectories elaborately optimized reduce delays trips under premise guaranteeing safety. To validate performance proposed methods, numerical experiments tested different demand settings. The results verify method could organize an orderly manner, reflected eliminating extra at intersections concurrently collision avoidance.
