Autonomous Traffic Management: Open Issues and New Directions

摘要

Many technical communities are vigorously pursuing research topics that contribute to the Autonomous Traffic Management (ATM). ATM is a research field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) that aims to decrease traffic congestion based on autonomous vehicles cooperation and capacities. However, a literature review reveals that many issues related to ATM and autonomous vehicles are up for discussion, and so are the key research challenges lying ahead. We first present the ATM aims and scope to provide a basis for discussing related open research problems. This paper enumerates and discusses six key research topics and research problems within those issues.
