PROVABLE SYSTEMWIDE SAFETY IN INTELLIGENT INTERSECTIONS
[attachment=23466]
Abstract:
The automation of driving tasks is of increasing interest for highway traffic management. The emerging technologies of global positioning and intervehicular wireless communications, combined with in-vehicle computation and sensing capabilities, can potentially provide remarkable improvements in safety and efficiency. We address the problem of designing intelligent intersections, where traffic lights and stop signs are removed, and cars negotiate the intersection through an interaction of centralized and distributed decision making. Intelligent intersections are representative of complex hybrid systems that are increasingly of interest, where the challenge is to design tractable distributed algorithms that guarantee safety and provide good performance. Systems of automatically driven vehicles will need an underlying collision avoidance system with provable safety properties to be acceptable.
Hardware Required:
Microcontroller and Power Supply Unit.
