The Intelligent Vehicle Coordination of the Cybernetic Transportation System

Cybernetic Transportation System (CTS) is a new branch of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which is a solution to the urban transportation problem. The coordination of intelligent vehicles is critical for theoperation of the Cybernetic Transportation System. We present a distributed coordination approach for theintelligent vehicles of the Cybernetic Transportation System, which is based on an agent-based framework. Eachvehicle agent generates intention independently by considering its and other agents’ shared status and intentionsin the coordination. Typical coordination scenes, including platoon and overtaking, have been demonstrated in thetwo-lane, two-way traffic situation and the effectiveness of the proposed coordination approach has been validated
