Abstract
The invention provides systems and methods for an autonomous vehicle and center control system (AVCCS), which is a component of a Connected Automated Vehicle Highway (CAVH) system. The AVCCS is configured to realize drone/tele driving or digital twins by providing automated vehicles (AVs) or connected automated vehicles (CAVs) with vehicle-specific control instructions comprising instructions for vehicle longitudinal and lateral position, speed, and steering and control. Specifically, through the system, AVs or CAVs can be effectively and efficiently controlled by the AVCCS. In addition, the AVCCS is configured to provide vehicle-specific control instructions to AVs or CAVs and control them through a hierarchy of traffic control centers/units (TCCs/TCUs) or the combination of TCCs/TCUs and the onboard units (OBUs) with a vehicle control module, wherein said TCCs/TCUs are configured to fulfill vehicle maneuver tasks, monitor safety maintenance tasks, and take over if the system fails.
