Abstract
Provided herein is a technology for an Autonomous Vehicle Cloud System (AVCS). This AVCS provides sensing, data fusion, prediction, decision-making, and/or control instructions for specific vehicles at a microscopic level based on data from one or more of other vehicles, roadside unit (RSU), cloud-based platform, and traffic control center/traffic control unit (TCC/TCU). Specifically, the AVs can be effectively and efficiently operated and controlled by the AVCS. The AVCS provides individual vehicles with detailed time-sensitive control instructions for fulfilling driving tasks, including car following, lane changing, route guidance, and other related information. The AVCS is configured to predict individual vehicle behavior and provide planning and decision-making at a microscopic level. In addition, the AVCS is configured to provide one or more of virtual traffic light management, travel demand assignment, traffic state estimation, and platoon control.
