Abstract

Autonomous vehicles have the potential to transform urban transportation by improving road safety, efficiency, and accessibility. However, urban environments present unique challenges, such as complex traffic dynamics, uncertain obstacles, and limited visibility, necessitating advanced control strategies. This paper builds on previous work to refine a Control Barrier Function-based framework for autonomous vehicles by integrating Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication. Through pairwise CBFs, the proposed architecture utilizes infrastructure-based sensors to enhance situational awareness and decision-making, addressing limitations of onboard sensors alone.

智能基础设施和自动驾驶汽车：通过控制障碍功能确保城市交通的安全和效率

自动驾驶汽车有可能通过提高道路安全、效率和可达性来改变城市交通。然而，城市环境提出了独特的挑战，如复杂的交通动态、不确定的障碍物和有限的能见度，需要先进的控制策略。本文以先前的工作为基础，通过集成车辆到基础设施（V2I）通信，完善了基于控制屏障功能的自动驾驶汽车框架。通过配对cbf，所提出的架构利用基于基础设施的传感器来增强态势感知和决策，解决了单独机载传感器的局限性。

期刊介绍： Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products aimed at achieving an optimal balance between basic mechanical structure and its overall control. The purpose of this journal is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in mechatronics. It will cover a wide range of application areas including consumer product design, instrumentation, manufacturing methods, computer integration and process and device control, and will attract a readership from across the industrial and academic research spectrum. Particular importance will be attached to aspects of innovation in mechatronics design philosophy which illustrate the benefits obtainable by an a priori integration of functionality with embedded microprocessor control. A major item will be the design of machines, devices and systems possessing a degree of computer based intelligence. The journal seeks to publish research progress in this field with an emphasis on the applied rather than the theoretical. It will also serve the dual role of bringing greater recognition to this important area of engineering.
