Abstract

An autonomous car is a self-driving car that is to keep the human being out of the car and to relieve them from the task of driving. An autonomous car can make more convenient, safer, and less energy intensive. In addition, Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) systems reduce the travel time and CO2 emission. In this paper, we propose a novel GLOSA, called R-GLOSA system to support to autonomous cars. We assume that an autonomous car can access to all traffic light schedules that it will encounter on its route. The route is divided into each segment according to traffic lights. In each segment, an autonomous car can communicate to Road Side Units (RSUs) distributed among the road. An autonomous car collects the road information transmitted by an RSU and then, it optimizes speed in order to arrive at the intersection when the light is green. The R-GLOSA system provides an autonomous car with speed advisory for each RSU's coverage. The simulation results show that an autonomous car using R-GLOSA system outperforms in terms of travel time and waiting time compared to using single-segment and multi-segment GLOSA system.
