FlawlessTraffic : Self-driving cars

FlawlessTraffic is the result of a project I made in my 6th semester at the university (2016).

I wanted to create a software that allows you to try a system featuring self-driving cars.
A human needs to see what's coming at an intersection. To answer this, traffic lights were created. When it's green for you, no one is coming from the other roads. Go.
What if it's red, but still, no one is coming ? Or a car is coming, but if you could go right now, you wouldn't hit it ?
This can't be executed by humans. But machines can.
In a system in which every car knows the position, speed, acceleration,... of the other cars the system could tell your car : "keep going at 30km/h at the intersection".

And this is how it works.

On roads, cars adjust their speed with the car in front. I used a differential equation, the Intelligent Driver Model.
I modified it a little, but the idea remains the same.
You try to smoothly reach your maximum speed, knowing the properties of the car in front (distance, speed, acceleration, length,...).

At the intersection, the car sends it's route to the system. It will check if another car will be on his way and sends back a "Yes" or a "No, slow down and try again".

This model is based on the Intelligent Driver Model.

And the Autonomous Intersection Management.
