FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary process of vehicle latitudinal control. As shown in the figure, vehicles are monitored by the RSUs. If related control thresholds (e.g., lane keeping, lane changing, etc.) are reached, the necessary control algorithms are triggered. Then the vehicles follows the new control instructions to drive. If instructions are not confirmed, new instructions are sent to the vehicles.
FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary process of vehicle fail safe control. As shown in the figure, vehicles are monitored by the RSUs. If an error occurs, the system sends the warning message to the driver to warn the driver to control the vehicle. If the driver does not make any response or the response time is not appropriate for driver to take the decision, the system sends the control thresholds to the vehicle. If related control thresholds (e.g., stop, hit the safety equipment, etc.) are reached, the necessary control algorithms is triggered. Then the vehicles follows the new control instructions to drive. If instructions are not confirmed, new instructions are sent to the vehicles.
FIG. 9 shows an exemplary physical component of a typical RSU, comprising a Communication Module, a Sensing Module, a Power Supply Unit, an Interface Module, and a Data Processing Module. The RSU may any of variety of module configurations. For example, for the sense module, a low cost RSU may only include a vehicle ID recognition unit for vehicle tracking, while a typical RSU includes various sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, and microwave radar.
