Analysis of reservation algorithms for cooperative planning at intersections

Intersections concentrate a too important number of accidents. It is quite obvious they are dangerous places because it is where cars potentially collide due to intersecting trajectories, as opposed to “normal” roads where they are parallel. This paper present a framework designed initially for cybercars (fully automated cars) but that could also be applied — though with major differences — to human driven cars. It is a world where vehicles have to reserve pieces of roads to cross a junction. This work is an enhancement of a previous work that demonstrated the feasibility of such a reservation algorithm.
