Autonomous vehicle control system for critical points with cloud support

An autonomous vehicle (AV) control system for a partially instrumented connected automated vehicle highway (CAVH) system, said AV control system comprising:

• an onboard unit (OBU), wherein a first vehicle comprises the OBU;
• and
• a communication module configured to:
• communicate with a second vehicle serving a partially instrumented CAVH system comprising critical points;
• and
• receive from said second vehicle vehicle-specific and time-sensitive control instructions for controlling the first vehicle at a critical point,
• wherein the AV control system provides the vehicle-specific and time-sensitive control instructions;
• and the first vehicle executes the vehicle-specific and time-sensitive control instructions for driving tasks.
