Distributed Cooperative Driving in Multi-Intersection Road Networks

Cooperative driving at isolated intersections attracted great interest and had been well discussed in recent years. However, cooperative multi-intersection road networks remains to be further investigated, because many algorithms for intersection cannot directly adopted networks. In this paper, we propose a distributed strategy appropriately decompose the problem into small-scale sub-problems that address vehicle cooperation within limited temporal-spatial areas meanwhile assure appropriate coordination between adjacent by specially designed information exchange. Simulation results demonstrate efficiency-complexity balanced advantage of proposed under various traffic demand settings.
