DECIDING THE BEHAVIOUR OF AN AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROAD VEHICLE

Abstract The seeing passenger car VaMoRs-P is able to perform basic manoeuvres, e.g. lane keeping, convoy driving, and lane changing. In order to make it capable of performing an appropriate behaviour even in complex traffic situations, an algorithm was designed which assesses the traffic situation, determines a safety measure of different possible manoeuvres, and chooses one manoeuvre using a rule-based system. The transputer based implementation of this algorithm was demonstrated in real world traffic situations on French motorways.
