A method and corresponding device for the decentralized cooperative coordination of at least two vehicles includes: determining an abstract driving maneuver to realize at least one nominal driving maneuver by a first vehicle, determining driving maneuver information regarding the first vehicle's at least one abstract driving maneuver, transmitting the first vehicle's driving maneuver information to at least one further vehicle, calculating or reconstructing the first vehicle's nominal trajectory and/or nominal driving maneuver based on the received driving maneuver information by the further vehicle, comparing the first vehicle's reconstructed nominal trajectory and/or the reconstructed nominal driving maneuver with the further vehicle's nominal trajectory and/or nominal driving maneuver and, if a conflict exists between the nominal trajectory and/or the nominal driving maneuver of the first vehicle and the nominal trajectory and/or the nominal driving maneuver of the further vehicle, transmitting a cooperation request and/or information indicating the conflict to the first vehicle.

Method and device for the decentralized cooperative coordination of vehicles

The present invention relates to a method of cooperatively coordinating future driving maneuvers of a vehicle with fellow maneuvers of at least one fellow vehicle, wherein trajectories for the vehicle are rated with an effort value each, trajectories and fellow trajectories of the fellow vehicle are combined into tuples, the trajectory and the associated effort value of a collision-free tuple are selected as reference trajectory and reference effort value, trajectories with a lower effort value than the reference effort value are classified as demand trajectories, trajectories with higher effort value than the reference effort value are classified as alternative trajectories, and a data packet having a trajectory set consisting of the reference trajectory and the associated reference effort value as well as at least one trajectory from a group comprising the demand trajectories and the alternative trajectories as well as the respective effort values is transmitted to the fellow vehicle.

Method and device for a cooperative coordination between future driving maneuvers of one vehicle and the maneuvers of at least one other vehicle

The present invention relates to a method of cooperatively coordinating future driving maneuvers of a vehicle with fellow maneuvers of at least one fellow vehicle, wherein a fellow data packet is received from the fellow vehicle, in which a fellow trajectory set of a fellow reference trajectory is contained, a trajectory from a trajectory set for the vehicle is selected as a reference trajectory for the vehicle using the fellow reference trajectory, wherein a trajectory which is collision-free towards the fellow reference trajectory is selected, the trajectories of the trajectory set are rated using limit trajectories, and at least one cooperation trajectory is selected from the trajectories of the trajectory set using the reference effort value, wherein a data packet containing the reference trajectory and the cooperation trajectory is transmitted to the fellow vehicle.
