The basic idea is the use of a token-ring-based communication protocol among autonomous vehicles in a specified zone around the intersection. Thus, essential information about current position, velocity, and acceleration are exchanged in view of a decision on whether or not to enter the intersection. Collision avoidance is ensured by means of semaphor-based algorithms which allow only one vehicle at a time to stay in a critical intersection segment. Simulation results will prove the effects of different s...
