A Priority-Aware Replanning and Resequencing Framework for Coordination of Connected and Automated Vehicles

Abstract

Deriving optimal control strategies for coordination of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) often requires re-evaluating the strategies in order to respond to unexpected changes in the presence of disturbances and uncertainties. In this paper, we first extend a decentralized framework that we developed earlier for coordination of CAVs at a signal-free intersection to incorporate replanning. Then, we further enhance the framework by introducing a priority-aware resequencing mechanism which designates the order of decision making of CAVs based on theory from the job-shop scheduling problem. Our enhanced framework relaxes the first-come-first-serve decision order which has been used extensively in these problems. We illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach through numerical simulations.
