Abstract
Distributed traffic scheduling for autonomous self-driving vehicles includes forming a vicinity group of autonomous vehicles by pinging each other using vehicle-to-vehicle communication. A leader vehicle of the vicinity group is elected by transmitting an election messages between each of the autonomous vehicles, each autonomous vehicle responding to a received election message with a vote, the leader vehicle being elected by receiving the most votes. Preferences of a driver of each of the autonomous vehicles are predicted with a classifier by extracting preference labels from online account data. Trip deadline is determined for each autonomous vehicle according to the preferences. Each of the autonomous vehicles in the vicinity group is scheduled to prevent exceeding the trip deadline by performing earliest deadline first scheduling by the leader vehicle. Maneuvers of each of the autonomous vehicles in the vicinity group are controlled according to the scheduling.
