Title: Algorithms for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract: Connected Vehicles (CVs) make transportation safe by communicating with vehicles and the infrastructure in their neighborhood. CVs are embedded with onboard units (OBUs) which transmit basic safety messages (BSMs) containing the location, heading, and velocity information of the vehicle using either Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) or Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology. Many existing approaches employ computer vision techniques which are costly in processing power and suffer from several drawbacks arising from poor visibility. We will present a novel approach that overcomes these limitations by leveraging only BSMs and no cameras. It can handle multiple lane scenarios as well which requires accurate determination of the relative position of CVs. The host vehicle implements the logic that computes the relative angle with the remote vehicle based on which hazardous conditions are detected and warned. Also, the same technique is employed for platooning where a vehicle that is interested in platooning can broadcast a DSRC message and interesting vehicles can establish communication to negotiate their route. Then, in a series of transactions over the DSRC channel, they can agree upon the leader position as well as the follower position(s). Once the negotiations are complete, a comprehensive platooning algorithm consisting of a platoon joiner and maintainer helps to form a platoon. CARLA, an open-source urban autonomous vehicle (AV) driving simulator framework is extended to support CV and CAV features. CARLA-Connect enables the continuous testing and development of CV and CAV algorithms to visually demonstrate their effectiveness in real-time simulation. Using CARLA-Connect, six V2V algorithms, three V2I algorithms, and two CAV algorithms are developed and validated.
