Abstract
With the rapid development of smart driving and communications technologies, an increasing number of vehicles are cooperating with each other to improve traffic efficiency and travel safety. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey of multi-vehicle cooperation from the aspects of control and communication. Firstly, three typical multi-vehicle cooperation scenarios are summarized. Communication issues relating to multi-vehicle cooperation are then introduced, including communication types, requirements, and potential solutions. To address the control requirements, a general resource allocation solution for multi-vehicle cooperation is formulated; specifically, two types of resource allocation scheme for intersection management are proposed. Finally, performance of the proposed schemes is evaluated and compared.
