Some studies to deal with abnormal conditions have been made, but they have been in the form of specific faults rather than a general framework. Our goal is to propose an AHS design that will perform well under almost any condition . Even with this restriction it is clear that the task is rather large. The project is divided into several subtasks. We have attached reports on the completed sections.
Work is ongoing in the remaining tasks.
In the first report, we only give an overview of what is involved and establish a framework for tackling the problem. The framework will partition the task into more manageable parts and formalize the requirements that each of them will need to satisfy. The second report describes design of inter-vehicle coordination protocols for execution of new maneuvers for degraded mode of operation. The maneuver protocols are verified to be logically correct.
