ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a method of cooperative driving of automated driving vehicles. In the proposed method, the vehicles share information of their intention, such as future pathway or velocity, through the spatial information infrastructure by long-period one (server) to N (vehicles) communication. Each vehicle decides on its driving strategy considering the shared information of other vehicle’s intention, resulting in smoother flow of traffic than that realized by an automated driving strategy based on sensor information. This paper explains the proposed cooperation method and reports on the evaluation results.
