Abstract
A system and method is presented for providing virtual traffic lights in non-ideal situations in which vehicle-to-vehicle communication between vehicles approaching an intersection may be blocked by buildings or other obstructions at the corners of the intersection. The method, using a distributed artificial intelligence approach, requires that vehicles approaching an intersection, unless receiving a message indicating that another vehicle at the intersection has been declared the lead vehicle for purposes of controlling access to the intersection, must slowdown or stop at the intersection and assume the role of lead vehicle.
