Using Kolmogorov Entropy to Verify the Description Completeness of Traffic Dynamics of Highly Autonomous Driving

Abstract

In this paper, we outline the analysis of a fully provable traffic system based on the Kolmogorov entropy. The completeness of the traffic node dynamics is realized in the form of a nonlinear dynamical model of the participating transport objects. The goal of this study is to determine the completeness of transport nodes based on the Kolmogorov entropy of the traffic trajectories of a node with an unspecified number of actors, like cars and pedestrians. The completeness of a highly autonomous driving detection system describing a traffic node could be realized if the entropy-based error-doubling time of the trajectories of the Euler–Lagrange equation interpreted at the transport junction is less than 1.3.
