Systems and methods for use in determining right-of-way turn allocation

A system for use in determining right-of-way, the system comprising:

• a first client vehicle at or approaching an intersection, the first client vehicle comprising:
• a transceiver configured for vehicle-to-vehicle communication;
• and
• a control unit configured to:
• receive, via the transceiver, a first signal from at least one of a host vehicle and a second client vehicle, wherein the first signal indicates the at least one of the host vehicle and the second client vehicle is at or approaching the intersection;
• determine, based upon a set of rules and the first signal, that one of the host vehicle and the second client vehicle is an arbitrator, wherein the arbitrator assigns a priority value for right-of-way to each of one or more client vehicles at or approaching the intersection;
• receive, via the transceiver, a second signal from the arbitrator, wherein the second signal includes the assigned priority values for each of the one or more client vehicles at or approaching the intersection;
• and
• control the host vehicle to wait a predetermined time period to receive an acknowledgment message from the second client vehicle;
• determine that at least one of the one or more client vehicles has carried out an action that is not compliant with the assigned priority value for the vehicle by tallying an order of a plurality of received signals and comparing the tally to the assigned priority values;
• and
• control the host vehicle to enter a recovery mode based upon the determination of the non-compliant action, wherein the recovery mode includes reassigning priority values for each of the one or more client vehicles at or approaching the intersection.
