Abstract
Vehicular communication using wireless technology is a cornerstone in the design of many important cooperative safety or convenience services offered in today’s vehicles, as e.g. lane change assistance or blind spot warnings. A growing application is vehicle platooning, where a caravan of vehicles on the highway can automatically follow a leading vehicle (controlled by a human driver). The next step in the evolution of this application area is fully autonomous driving, which is considered as a strategically important development direction by numerous leading car and truck manufacturers. Although the introduction of fully autonomous vehicles into ordinary city environments still lies far ahead, the automatic operation of vehicles in restricted areas, as e.g. in harbours, storage facilities, or mines, is feasible to some extend already today. However, cooperation between vehicles using wireless communication can enhance the possibilities to a great extent. Autonomous cooperative driving enabled by intervehicle communication has highly demanding operating conditions and generates delay-sensitive data traffic with requirements on high reliability regarding correct data delivery. Achieving this high data reliability within a given time frame is particularly difficult in vehicular networks due to the highly dynamic radio environment encountered by the communicating cars or trucks.
Motivation
Autonomous Cooperative Driving can increase traffic safety, reduce fuel consumption, and lead to more efficient road use and the possibility of driverless vehicles in certain environments.
Goal
To support autonomous cooperative driving with dependable wireless real-time communications
Two Main Application Scenarios
- Platooning (road trains), including special cases like joining in the middle of the platoon to arrange for best fuel saving
- Fully autonomous driving in a restricted area like a construction site, a harbor, or a mine
Main Research Questions
- How can wireless communication enable/enhance autonomous cooperative driving and what application requirements on the communication will there exist in such applications?
- How can we design and configure communication protocols and methods to fulfill the requirements on dependable wireless real-time communications?
