Autonomous Intersection Management: A Short Review

Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are the near future mode of transportation. Thus, it is necessary to adapt current traffic infrastructure and processes to manage such vehicles in terms of safety, speed and impact on the environment. One of the most challenging traffic infrastructures for CAVs are intersections. Therefore, a hot topic in this field is the research of novel strategies and protocols which can be used with even today available technology to manage the crossing of CAVs through intersections. In this paper, we review the literature related to the Autonomous Intersection Management strategies, protocols and simulation tools to identify open issues for future research.
