摘要： The invention provides an autonomous vehicle and intelligent control (AVIC) system with distributed AI computing, which is a component of a Connected Automated Vehicle Highway (CAVH) system. This AVIC system is configured to realize training and application for distributed AI computing by providing automated vehicles (AVs) and/or connected automated vehicles (CAVs) with vehicle-specific control instructions comprising instructions for vehicle longitudinal and lateral position, speed, and steering and control. Detailed and time-sensitive vehicle-specific control instructions comprise control instructions for speed, spacing, lane designation, vehicle following, lane changing, and/or route guidance. Specifically, through the system, CAVs can be effectively and efficiently controlled by the AVIC system. In addition, the AVIC system is configured to provide vehicle-specific control instructions to CAVs and control them through a hierarchy of traffic control centers/traffic control units (TCCs/TCUs) or the combination of TCCs/TCUs and the onboard units (OBUs) with vehicle control modules.

摘要： The invention provides a vehicle AI computing system (VACS) that supports autonomous driving through an Onboard Unit (OBU) for vehicle-based computing and distributed computing based on vehicle road-cloud. The vehicle-based computing can effectively complete various computational tasks by using onboard computing resources. The distributed computing allows the vehicle to work in collaboration with roadside units (RSUs) and/or the cloud to effectively complete various computational tasks. The VACS features an OBU with a sensing module, a communication module, and a data processing module that integrates data from vehicle sensors, RSUs, and the cloud. The OBU also includes a vehicle control module that helps control the vehicle based on the data of RSU and cloud. The VACS leverages high performance computation resources to implement end to end driving tasks including sensing, prediction, planning and decision making, and control. The VACS features large-scale parallel data processing by using GPU either onboard or based on vehicle-road-cloud.

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.
