| Abstract: | With the high increase in number of motorized vehicles over the past years, higher road capacity is required to prevent traffic jams and increase road safety. With the rise of cooperative autonomous driving algorithms, the congestion can be lowered resulting in better road throughput. This research dives into the feasibility of a cooperative autonomous driving algorithm based on bird-flocking behaviour regarding roundabouts. The vehicle's behaviour is determined by three forces: cohesion, alignment and separation. Combined with some merging rules a successive algorithm is designed to manage the traffic on a roundabout and plaza. The algorithm is put to the test in a simulation showing capacities of 6000 and 5500 vehicles per hour with an average travel time on the roundabout or plaza of 6.54 and 4.71 seconds. In order to achieve safe operation, sending rates of 8 and 15 packets per second are required. |
