Cooperative autonomous driving at the Intelligent Control Systems Laboratory

Griffith Universityʹs Intelligent Control Systems Laboratory collaborating with INRIAʹS IMARA laboratory, completed what we believe is the first on-road demonstration of autonomous passenger vehicles performing cooperative passing and traversal of unsignalized intersections. (Unsignalized intersections have no traffic lights, stop signs, or yield signs to control traffic flow.) This demonstration mated ICSLʹs communication and collaborative decision-making subsystems with IMARAʹS experimental vehicle platforms, creating autonomous vehicles capable of real-time cooperation in real-world applications. The article describes the experiment.
