Distributed control technology for management of roads with autonomous cars

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to develop advanced ideology and technology for effective management of future road networks with massive use of autonomous cars.

Design/methodology/approach

High-level distributed control technology has been developed, already used in many civil and defence areas. It has a controlled super-virus nature capable of coping with highly dynamic and unpredictable situations in large distributed systems.

Findings

Exemplary road scenarios written in a special high-level language, the core of the technology, show suitability of the approach offered for solving a variety of dynamic and crisis situations on future roads with numerous driverless cars.

Originality/value

The approach offered is unique, without any known analogies.
