Cooperative Driving of Automated Vehicles with Inter-vehicle Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with cooperative driving of automated vehicles on highways with data transmission based on inter-vehicle communications. It presents a data transmission algorithm in a platoon for a unidirectional medium and an omni-directional one under both a steady state and a transient state. The algorithm is featured by that the throughput rate is larger than a conventional system, when the number of vehicles in a platoon is less than 15. This paper also focuses on merging, which is the typical case of cooperative driving, and presents a merging control algorithm that makes the best use of the inter-vehicle communications. The results of a simulation study and an indoor experiment show the feasibility of the algorithms of the data transmission and merging control.
