Use Case Category: <strong>Advanced Driving</strong><br> User Story: <strong>Cloud-assisted advanced driving</strong><br> Location: Chinese (CN) trial site According to 3GPP TS 22.186 R16, Advanced Driving “enables semi-automated or fully-automated driving. Longer inter-vehicle distance is assumed. Each vehicle and/or Road Side Unit (RSU) shares data obtained from its local sensors with vehicles in proximity, thus allowing vehicles to coordinate their trajectories or manoeuvres. In addition, each vehicle shares its driving intention with vehicles in proximity. The benefits of this use case group are safer traveling, collision avoidance, and improved traffic efficiency”. User Story: Cloud-assisted advanced driving In the China site, the roadside unit, remote control centre and cloud server will monitor and control the autonomous vehicles in real time, to realize the various testes of Internet-connected applications of vehicles safely and efficiently. In the high-level abstraction of the user story, Vehicle A and Vehicle B are both running in a straight line along the right lane. Vehicle B is traveling at a constant speed in front of Vehicle A, and both vehicles keep a small distance. In the beginning, the remote-control centre (MEC) issues the overtaking order to vehicle A through the RSU. After receiving the order, Vehicle A sends the overtaking information to Vehicle B through V2V communication and receive the real-time information from Vehicle B via V2V, which includes the position, speed and heading angle of the vehicle. Thus, Vehicle A makes an automatic decision according to the information of Vehicle B. The decision-making of Vehicle A is detailed as follows: First, it changes to the left lane; then it accelerates to overtake according to the speed of Vehicle B. Finally, it changes lane back to the right lane, and sends its information to Vehicle B. In this way, these two cars complete overtaking operation. In this process, Vehicle A exchanges messages related to CoCA (Coordinated collision avoidance) through the 3GPP V2X communication service, while other vehicles transmit messages through the 3GPP communication service as well, finally they will achieve coordinated manoeuvring.
