Abstract:
A system for updating route-data shared by vehicles for automated operation of the vehicles includes a shared-memory, a sensor, and a communication-network. The shared-memory stores route-data used by a plurality of vehicles for automated operation of the vehicles in accordance with a control-rule included in the route-data. The sensor is installed in a first-vehicle of the vehicles. The sensor is used to determine an observed-parameter so the system can detect when the observed-parameter violates a parameter-limit during automated operation of the first-vehicle in accordance with the control-rule. The communication-network is configured to enable the first-vehicle to update the route-data when the observed-parameter violates the parameter-limit. Then other vehicles can access the shared-memory so the other vehicles can negotiate a roadway using the most up-to-date information about the roadway.
