AD Aware Traffic Control

The project handles a digitized traffic control for connected and autonomous vehicles with traffic control based on different information flows. Within the project, interface will also be proposed and implementation of information flow module for implementation in cloud-based environment, where information from a number of different public and / or private sources can be collected and consolidated.

Project Description

The goal of the project was to define and propose a traffic control cloud for automated vehicles with interfaces to vehicles, road authorities and city authorities, along with the associated information flows for connected vehicles. In addition the project proposed solutions on required services including traffic control and information sharing.

Functionality for dynamic regulation using decision support models of individual self-driving vehicles was developed with the interface for authority to shut down roads, provide dynamic guidance and management of emergency situations.

The main deliverable from this project was a demonstration of the working system held at Lindholmen Science Park in June 2017. This demonstration showed the information flows from the car to the cloud, through to a Central Traffic Control platform and back again, as well as the flow of information to the Central Traffic Control from the road authority. The project utilised and built upon a lot of the already existing cloud infrastructure developed for the Drive Sweden initiative.

The concept had a clear national and international reach and will therefore in the long run be useful for pilots in all parts of the country, as well as pilots internationally for autonomous vehicles. The project was based on already made investments within the framework of ongoing projects and programs, such as Drivesweden och Drive Me.
