摘要： The invention provides an autonomous vehicle and center guidance system (AVCGS) for drone/tele driving or digital twins by sending guidance instructions to an autonomous vehicle (AV) or a connected automated vehicle (CAV). The AVCGS is a component of a Connected Automated Vehicle Highway (CAVH) system. This AVCGS is configured to operate AVs or CAVs using a hierarchy of traffic control centers/units (TCCs/TCUs). The AVCGS comprises automatic or semi-automated computational modules, a TCC/TCU communication module, and/or an onboard unit (OBU) communication module and a vehicle control module. The AVCGS communicates with one or more entities. The vehicle-specific guidance instructions and information comprise vehicle maneuver, safety maintenance, traffic control/road condition, and special information. The AVCGS provides backup in case of any errors or failures. Specifically, through the AVCGS, AVs or CAVs can be effectively and efficiently operated.

摘要： The invention provides systems and methods for an autonomous vehicle (AV) control system comprising an onboard unit (OBU) and a roadside unit (RSU), which are two components of an Intelligent Road Infrastructure System (IRIS). This integrated vehicle-road system provides sensing, prediction, decision-making, and control instructions for specific vehicles at a microscopic level. Specifically, through the AV control system, an AV can be effectively and efficiently controlled by the AV itself and/or by the RSU. The AV control system provides individual vehicles with detailed time-sensitive control instructions for vehicles to fulfill driving tasks. In addition, the RSU conducts behavior prediction for individual vehicles at a microscopic level from 1 to 10 milliseconds, which is critical for connected and automated vehicle (CAV) operations.
