Abstract [en]
Intelligent intersections have the potential to serve as an integral part of tomorrow’s traffic infrastructure. Wireless communication is key to enabling such technology. We consider a scenario where two flows of vehicles are to traverse an intelligent intersection. We investigate safety in emergency braking scenarios, where one of the vehicles in a flow suddenly decides to emergency brake and emergency braking messages are broadcast to affected vehicles. We provide a framework for computing lower bounds on probabilities for safe braking – collisions between vehicles are to be avoided. If we require that a crash or collision, for example, occurs at most once in a million scenarios, our approach allows for computation of lower bounds on the time-varying (or distance-varying) packet loss probabilities to ensure this. One of the benefits of the proposed framework is that the computational time is reduced; eliminating, for example, the need for time-consuming Monte Carlo simulations.
