contents Signal-free intersections are a representative application of smart and connected vehicle technologies. Although extensive results have been developed for trajectory planning and autonomous driving, the formulation and evaluation of vehicle sequencing have not been well understood.In this paper, we consider theoretical guarantees of macroscopic performance (i.e., capacity and delay) of typical sequencing policies at signal-free intersections. We model intersection traffic as a piecewise-deterministic Markov process (PDMP). We analytically characterize the intersection capacity regions and provide upper bounds on travel delay under three typical policies, viz. first-in-first-out, min-switchover, and longer-queue-first. We obtain these results by constructing policy-specific Lyapunov functions and computing mean drift of the PDMP. We also validate the results via a series of micro-simulation-based experiments.
