Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for an autonomous vehicle (AV) control system comprising an onboard unit (OBU) and a roadside unit (RSU), which are two components of an Intelligent Road Infrastructure System (IRIS). This integrated vehicle-road system provides sensing, prediction, decision-making, and control instructions for specific vehicles at a microscopic level. Specifically, through the AV control system, an AV can be effectively and efficiently controlled by the AV itself and/or by the RSU. The AV control system provides individual vehicles with detailed time-sensitive control instructions for vehicles to fulfill driving tasks. In addition, the RSU conducts behavior prediction for individual vehicles at a microscopic level from 1 to 10 milliseconds, which is critical for connected and automated vehicle (CAV) operations.

The RCS comprises a hierarchy of roadside unit (RSU) and an onboard unit (OBU) in an individual vehicle. The RSU comprises a data processing module and a communication module, and is capable of generating guidance information and targeted instructions for individual vehicle. The data processing module of the RSU comprises two processors: an External Object Calculating Module (EOCM) and an AI processing unit. Thus, the RCS utilizes roadside edge computing power and AI models to support autonomous driving for the vehicle. The OBU comprises a data processing module, a communication module, and a vehicle control module, and is capable of generating vehicle-specific targeted instruction for the vehicle based on guidance information and targeted instructions received from RSUs, and controlling the vehicle based on vehicle-specific targeted instruction.

Abstract: The technology described herein provides Automated Driving System (ADS) methods and systems for coordinating and/or fusing intelligence and functions between Connected Automated Vehicles (CAV) and ADS infrastructure to provide target levels of automated driving. The technology provides systems and methods for function allocation comprising sensing allocation, prediction and decision-making allocation, and control allocation. The ADS operates across various intelligence levels, identified during vehicle operation. The function allocation system dynamically allocates essential functions based on the intelligence levels of both vehicles and infrastructures, ensuring that ADS achieves a system intelligence that surpasses that of individual components. This methodical function distribution enables ADS to manage both vehicles and infrastructures in a manner that enhances vehicular operations and control. The system further integrates a fusion system to support various ADS functions through data integration from multiple sources, which optimizes the driving tasks performed by CAVs.
