Main Abstract:
Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is a key component of the future autonomous driving systems. V2V can provide an improved awareness of the surrounding environment, and the knowledge about the future actions of nearby vehicles. However, V2V communication is subject to different kind of failures and delays, so a distributed fault-tolerant approach is required for safe and efficient transportation. This work considers fully autonomous vehicles that operates using local sensory information, and aided with fault-tolerant V2V communication. The sensors provide all basic functionality, but are overridden by V2V whenever is possible to increase the efficiency. As an example scenario, we consider intersection crossing (IC) with autonomous vehicles that cooperate via V2V communication, and propose a fully distributed and a fault-tolerant algorithm for this problem. According to our numerical results, based on a real data set, we show the crossing delay is only slightly increased in the presence of a burst of V2V failures, and that V2V can be successfully used in most scenarios.

[1]: 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 in-tersections, 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 under lying collision avoidance system with provable safety properties to be acceptable. This condition raises several challenges. We need to ensure perpetual collision avoidance so that cars do not get into future problematic positions to avoid an immediate collision. The architecture needs to allow distributed freedom of action to cars yet should guard against worst-case behavior of other cars to guarantee collision avoidance. The algorithms should be tractable both computationally and in information requirements and robust to uncertainties in sensing and communication. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid architecture with an appropriate interplay between centralized coordination and distributed freedom of action. The approach is built around a core where each car has an infinite horizon contingency plan, which is updated at each sampling instant and distributed by the cars, in a computationally tractable manner. We also define a dynamically changing partial-order relation between cars, which specifies, for each car, a set of cars whose worst-case behaviors it should guard against. The architecture is hybrid, involving a centralized component that coordinates intersection traversals. We prove the safety and liveness of the overall scheme. The mathematical challenge of accurately quantifying performance remains as a difficult challenge; therefore, we conduct a simulation study that shows the benefits over stop signs and traffic lights. It is hoped that our effort can provide methodologies for the design of tractable solutions for complex distributed systems that require safety and liveness guarantees.
A hybrid centralized distributed architecture that ensures both the safety (no collisions), and the liveness (a finite crossing time), is proposed in [1] . They assumed that there are no stop signs and traffic lights at the intersection, and that the vehicles are equipped with a positioning unit, internal sensors, and a V2V communication unit. To resolve the problem with a bounded communication delay and packet losses, the rear car needs to break with maximum deceleration. They compared the proposed solution with stop-sign and traffic-light technologies and found that the average travel time is significantly reduced.
