    摘要: An autonomous vehicle is equipped with a beacon, preferably including a transmitter and receiver, or a transceiver, for bi-directional communication, which is programmed to interact with other beacons for the exchange of contextual travel information to assist in autonomous operation of the vehicle. Beacons may be stationary and positioned along a roadway such that a signal transmitted by such a stationary beacon can be received by a passing beacon-equipped vehicle, the operation of which can be adjusted depending on instructions received from the stationary beacon. The vehicle can also transmit information to the stationary beacon, which information can be used to assess traffic conditions to thereafter adjust information and alerts sent to other beacon-equipped vehicles. Beacons located within multiple vehicles may also interact to share information that may be used by individual vehicles to adjust or maintain the autonomous operation of the vehicle.

    摘要: A traveling control apparatus performs a traveling control allowing for merging on a first vehicle traveling on a first lane or a second vehicle traveling on a second lane by wireless communication in a merging section. The traveling control apparatus includes a communication reliability determination unit and a processor. The communication reliability determination unit determines respective communication reliabilities related to the first and the second vehicles. The processor performs the traveling control on the second vehicle when both the respective communication reliabilities related to the first and the second vehicles are higher than or equal to a predetermined reliability. The processor performs the traveling control on the first vehicle when the communication reliability related to the first vehicle is higher than or equal to the predetermined reliability and the communication reliability related to the second vehicle is lower than the predetermined reliability.
