Distributed control technology for management of roads with autonomous cars

摘要

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop advanced ideology and technology for effective management of future road networks with massive use of autonomous cars. Design/methodology/approach: High-level distributed control technology has been developed, already used in many civil and defence areas. It has a controlled super-virus nature capable of coping with highly dynamic and unpredictable situations in large distributed systems. Findings: Exemplary road scenarios written in a special high-level language, the core of the technology, show suitability of the approach offered for solving a variety of dynamic and crisis situations on future roads with numerous driverless cars. Originality/value: The approach offered is unique, without any known analogies.
