In this paper, we propose a benchmark modeling a cooperative lane change maneuver that involves four fully autonomous vehicles; three in the left lane and one in the right. The vehicle driving in the right lane aims to move to the left lane while avoiding a collision with the other vehicles. Each vehicle is equipped with sensors and can also communicate with its neighboring vehicles. The vehicle dynamics are described by a dynamic bicycle model and each vehicle is equipped with a linear low-level controller that regulates its own longitudinal and lateral behavior. To guarantee that the maneuver is safe and the traffic rules are enforced, we employ a cooperative driving control scheme (in the spirit of supervisory logic) that decides the actions of each vehicle.Keyphrases: autonomous vehicles, control design, lane change, simulation, specifications In: Goran Frehse (editor).
