Navigation data exchange for traffic control

An increase in the number of cars is higher than rates of transport infrastructure development, resulting in a reduction of cargo and passenger transportation efficiency in city conditions. Simulation of flow irregularity in time (peak hour) shows the key role of a car motion interval as a factor of overcoming accumulation at average speed reduction in conditions of highly loaded roads. To reduce the effective time of driver reaction, defining the least distance between cars, it is necessary to minimize the influence of human factors. Automation of the process (unmanned control) requires an effective exchange of navigation and route data between traffic participants. A summary of requirements for such an information exchange system defines the priority of the suggested communication and navigation system (CNS) on the base of radio broadcast communication. Its application gives an opportunity to rise simultaneously traffic safety and efficiency. An increase in neighbor driver action predictability leads to traffic safety ensuring. The exchange of data with traffic control centers (TCC) enables the centralization of motion regulation. A distributed network of transceiver stations forms a local positioning system based on trilateration principles. Algorithms of onboard positioning result verification and automatic resolution of communication conflicts ensure high reliability of CNS functioning. Refusal from point-to-point communication principles allows it to operate even in conditions of high car density up to several thousand per square kilometer. In cooperation with advanced technologies of traffic organization (formation of city highway grid and “total green wave” mode), CNS and TCC are capable of rising the average speed in city conditions higher than 45 km/hour. The aggregate economy of expense on last mile transportation because of the suggested innovations is to be at the level of several GDP percent due to a decrease in accidents and congestion even without accounting for social and ecological effects.
