| Abstract |
In this paper, an implementation of a traffic management scheme is presented for autonomous vehicles at intersections. Using bi-directional communication provided by a cellular network, the intersection controller is capable of receiving the status of the approaching vehicles, calculating an optimal arrival schedule, and sending the obtained schedule to individual vehicles. The proposed algorithm eliminates the need for physical traffic signals in an all autonomous driving environment. A vehicle-in-the-loop (VIL) simulation environment is implemented in order to evaluate our proposed traffic management scheme in reducing stops and energy consumption while ensuring safety. The test environment is configurable and reproducible to incorporate most of the real time signal control methods. This environment can assist the developers to validate their smart city projects. |
