An Active Management Method for Monitoring Multiple Autonomous Vehicles Remotely with Few Observers

Abstract

In this research, we proposed an active management method to monitor more autonomous vehicles (AVs) remotely with few observers. A management system is created to get the status from the AVs and separate the monitoring requirement to the observers optimally. When the requirements might be intensive, the management system can adjust the movements of the AVs actively to distribute the monitoring time, which can make the observers monitor more vehicles. Based on the data acquired from the driving simulator, we create a numerical simulator and test our method with different pairs of a large number of AVs and observers. The result showed that our method can reduce the utilization degree of observers and make them monitor more AVs.
