Intersection-collision warning systems use vehicle-to-infrastructure communication to avoid accidents at urban intersections. However, they are costly because additional roadside infrastructure must be installed, and they suffer from problems related to real-time information delivery. In this paper, an intersection-collision warning system based on vehicle-to-vehicle communication is proposed i...

We describe a complete hardware/software system, dubbed Universal Real-Time Navigational Assistance (URNA), which enables communication of relevant location-aware information to a blind person carrying a Bluetoothenabled cell phone. Although URNA can be used for a number of different applications (e.g., an information kiosk at a shopping mall or public transit information at a bus stop), we con...

In this paper we combine two different economically inspired mechanisms, acting at intersection and at network level, respectively, to accommodate driver preferences in reservation-based urban traffic management. At intersection level, intersection manager agents assign space-time chunks through combinatorial auctions, while at network level a pricing scheme, based on general market equilibrium...

The impressive results of the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge showed that fully autonomous vehicles are technologically feasible with current intelligent vehicle hardware. It is natural to ask how current transportation infrastructure can be improved when most vehicles are driven autonomously in the future. Dresner and Stone proposed a new intersection control mechanism called Autonomous Intersectio...
