A system for controlling unmanned vehicles on complex road sections, in particular, in mountainous areas, has been developed at the Gagarin Saratov State Technical University. The main goal of the development is to increase the speed of traffic without compromising safety. The new software model takes into account the forces acting on the car, such as gravity, traction and centripetal force, which allows for more accurate calculation of speed on bends and identification of dangerous road sections.
A feature of the model is taking into account the transverse slope of the road, which distinguishes it from existing solutions that do not take into account the interaction of unmanned vehicles in the flow. The system is integrated with intelligent transport systems, transmitting data on the speed of cars through the network, which allows for a more accurate assessment of road capacity and the formation of strategies for identifying dangerous areas.
The system uses geometric parameters of the road, data on the condition of the road surface and parameters of the traffic flow. Information can be transmitted in real time using telematics, providing operational control of unmanned vehicles.
