Cooperative receding horizon conflict resolution at traffic intersections

Paper i proceeding, 2014

In this article, we consider the problem of coordinating a number of vehicles crossing a traffic intersection. The proposed solution is based on a receding horizon formulation with a pre-defined decision order. In this approach, local problems are formulated for each vehicle, which are divided into a finite-time optimal control problem, where collision avoidance is enforced as terminal constraints, and an infinite horizon control problem, which can be solved offline. Feasibility conditions for a given decision sequence are also derived and simulation results are presented.
