The Effectiveness of Autonomous Intersections in a City

Resumen

Vehicle navigation on roads is a complex problem that will probably be solved by using artificial intelligence in key roles. Today, there are cars capable of autonomous driving, but they are dependent on an old infrastructure that primarily includes intersections designed for human drivers. This paper opens a new chapter in the area of autonomous intersection management. Most research to date has looked at implementing a solution for a single intersection. We have created a simulation that runs in real-time, where up to several dozen intersections appear side by side. In this work, we conduct experiments to test the deployment of the autonomous algorithm in a city along with traffic lights. Autonomous intersections win with their efficiency, and in case of a limited budget, it's most advantageous to deploy them at the busiest intersections.
