In this chapterAutonomous vehicle, we show how to apply theControl barrier function CBF-based methods developed throughout the book, with specific emphasis on theOptimal control and control barrier functionBarrier function OCBFOptimal control and control barrier functionBarrier function method from Chap. 8, to the coordination of Connected Autonomous VehiclesAutonomous vehicle (CAVs) in traffic networksTraffic network. The control and coordination of CAVs is particularly challenging at critical conflict areas of a transportation system. We consider three specific applications corresponding to traffic mergingTraffic merging (Section 9.1), roundaboutsRoundabout (Sect. 9.2), and signal-free intersectionsSignal-free intersectionIntersection (Sect. 9.3). A simulation study of an actual curved road merging problem that arises in the Massachusetts Turnpike is included in Sect. 9.1.3. Additional simulation examples showing the applicability of the method for controlling traffic in roundaboutsRoundabout and signal-free intersectionsSignal-free intersectionIntersection are presented in Sects. 9.2.3 and 9.3.3.
