    Abstract: Systems and methods for shared autonomy through cooperative sensing are described. According to one embodiment, a cooperative sensing system includes a rendezvous module that receives broadcast messages from a plurality of cooperating vehicles on the roadway. The rendezvous module also selects a subordinate vehicle from the plurality of cooperating vehicles based on the autonomy level of the subordinate vehicle as compared to an autonomy level of a principal vehicle. The cooperative sensing system also includes a positioning module that determines a cooperative position of the principal vehicle and the subordinate vehicle. The cooperative sensing system further includes a negotiation module that receives at least one cooperating parameter from the subordinate vehicle. The cooperative sensing system includes a perception module that initiates cooperative automation the subordinate vehicle according to the at least one cooperating parameter when the principal vehicle and the subordinate vehicle are positioned in the cooperative position.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and method for channel congestion control in V2X communication is provided. The electronic apparatus determines an initial MCS level associated the V2X communication channel of the vehicle and estimates a first level of channel congestion in the V2X communication channel at the initial MCS level. Thereafter, the electronic apparatus selects, from a plurality of MCS levels for V2X communication, a first MCS level associated with a first threshold level of a plurality of threshold levels of the channel congestion. The selection of the first MCS level is based on a determination that the first level of the channel congestion is greater than or equal to the first threshold level. The selected first MCS level is greater than the initial MCS level. The electronic apparatus transmits, at the selected first MCS level, message information over the V2X communication channel to a group of electronic devices.

    Abstract: According to one aspect, a computer-implemented method for communication between a plurality of vehicles at an intersection includes detecting the intersection ahead of a first vehicle. The method includes determining a time of arrival of a first vehicle at the intersection and a time of arrival of a second vehicle at the intersection is approximately the same. Further, the method includes receiving behavior data about the first vehicle for a previous time of duration before the time of arrival of the first vehicle at the intersection, and receiving behavior data about the second vehicle for a previous time of duration before the time of arrival of the second vehicle at the intersection. The method includes transmitting a resolution message including information for determining a right of way maneuver between the first vehicle and the second vehicle at the intersection.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for cooperative smart lane selection are described. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for cooperative smart lane selection includes receiving vehicle data for a plurality of vehicles. Each vehicle in the plurality of vehicles is travelling along a road segment having a plurality of lanes. The road segment is parsed into a plurality of inter-lane zones including a buffer zone and an implementation zone downstream of the buffer zone. Each inter-lane zone includes the lanes of the plurality of lanes. The computer-implemented method includes integrating the vehicle data into the plurality inter-lane zones by lane of the plurality of lanes. The computer-implemented method also includes calculating flow factors for the lanes in the implementation zone. The computer-implemented method further includes selecting a lane from the plurality of lanes based on the flow factors and controlling a host vehicle based on the flow factors.

    Abstract: A merge behavior system assists a host vehicle positioned in a merge lane that is adjacent a mainline lane. The merge behavior system includes an identification module that identifies at least one proximate vehicle in the mainline lane, if present. The merge behavior system also includes a prediction module that selects one or more models based on the at least one proximate vehicle, calculates one or more merge factors corresponding to the one or more models, and predicts a merge location based on the one or more merge factors. The merge behavior system further includes a control module that adjusts a kinematic parameter of the host vehicle to bring the host vehicle within a merging distance of the predicted merge location. The merge behavior system includes a merge module that determines whether a gap at the predicted merge location is a sufficient size for the host vehicle.
