Abstract
Systems and methods for achieving road action consensus in a network of moving things. As non-limiting examples, various aspects of this disclosure provide systems and methods for achieving road action consensus in vehicles (e.g., autonomous vehicles, manually controlled vehicles, etc.) of a network of moving things.
Claims28
A system for tracking and controlling road actions in a vehicle communication network, the system comprising:
- a node of a vehicle communication network, the node comprising:
- at least one network transceiver;
- at least one module, comprising at least a processor and a memory, operable to at least:
- utilize the at least one network transceiver to communicate with mobile access points (MAPs) of the vehicle communication network;
- develop, utilizing a vehicle travel plan development strategy, a vehicle travel plan for a vehicle associated with a MAP, the vehicle travel plan describing road actions that the vehicle is to implement;
- utilize the at least one network transceiver to communicate the vehicle travel plan to the MAP;
- receive from the MAP, information describing the vehicle's implementation of the vehicle travel plan;
- and
- store the received information;
- and
- a mobile access point (MAP) of the vehicle communication network, the mobile access point comprising:
- at least one wireless transceiver;
- at least one module, comprising at least a processor and a memory, operable to at least:
- utilize the at least one wireless transceiver to communicate with other mobile access points and fixed access points of the vehicle communication network;
- determine, as a vehicle associated with the MAP travels, a vehicle travel plan for the vehicle, the vehicle travel plan describing road actions that the vehicle is to implement;
- during and/or after implementation of the vehicle travel plan by the vehicle, communicate information to the node describing the implementation of the vehicle travel plan by the vehicle.

A mobile access point (MAP) of a vehicle communication network, the mobile access point comprising:
- at least one wireless transceiver;
- at least one module, comprising at least a processor and a memory, operable to at least:
- utilize the at least one wireless transceiver to communicate with other mobile access points of the vehicle communication network;
- utilize the at least one wireless transceiver to communicate with fixed access points of the vehicle communication network;
- utilize the at least one wireless transceiver to provide wireless local area network (WLAN) connectivity to client nodes of the mobile access point;
- determine, as a vehicle associated with the MAP travels, a vehicle travel plan for the vehicle, the vehicle travel plan describing road actions that the vehicle is to implement;
- during and/or after implementation of the vehicle travel plan by the vehicle, communicate implementation information to another node describing the implementation of the vehicle travel plan by the vehicle.

A node of a vehicle communication network, the node comprising:
- at least one network transceiver;
- at least one module, comprising at least a processor and a memory, operable to at least:
- utilize the at least one network transceiver to communicate with mobile access points (MAPs) of the vehicle communication network;
- develop, utilizing a vehicle travel plan development strategy, a vehicle travel plan for a vehicle associated with a MAP, the vehicle travel plan describing road actions that the vehicle is to implement;
- utilize the at least one network transceiver to communicate the vehicle travel plan to the MAP;
- receive from the MAP, information describing the vehicle's implementation of the vehicle travel plan;
- and
- analyze the received information to determine whether to modify the vehicle travel plan development strategy.
