Coordinated autonomous driving with 100 connected vehicles

This study investigates a number of control and coordination aspects of autonomous navigation in real-life urban traffic, focusing on connected vehicles as the means to achieve the required coordination. The proposed architecture includes a mixture of human driven, partial and fully autonomous experimental vehicles that are equipped to seamlessly interact with each other and the virtual traffic around them. Challenges to achieve a coherent implementation for a cyber-physical system are investigated and novel test methods are developed.
