Abstract
Systems and methods of cooperative autonomous driving which maximize objectives of a global traffic environment are provided. In particular, a cooperative controller may control multiple connected vehicles within a traffic environment. In certain embodiments, the cooperative controller may assign each connected vehicle a traffic role, based in part on their situation within the traffic environment. In some embodiments, this traffic role may also be based on a 'priority level' for the connected vehicle which corresponds to a desired travel time. Once traffic roles have been assigned, the cooperative controller may control each connected vehicle according to a driving policy associated with its assigned traffic role.
