Cooperative Road and Lane Aware V2I Communication for Collision Avoidance in Autonomous Self-Driving Vehicles

Autonomous self-driving vehicles are becoming more essential in research due to its features and implementation. Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) is a critical component in autonomous self-driving cars. With the proper implementation of V2I communication many road accidents can be prevented. The proposed work implements new cooperative algorithm that embeds road classification, lane marking detection and classification. The proposed algorithm uses Road Side Unit (RSU) and Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) for V2I communication. This algorithm enhances the safety in lane changing with the incorporation of lane marking detection. The results clearly demonstrate the implementation of V2I communication with an acceptable efficiency of 99% that enhances the road safety.
