Simulation of collective self-management by the movement of robotic vehicles using the method of molecular dynamics

Abstract

The paper presents the results of computer modeling of traffic flows in a virtual city. The city has a local road, highway and road junction. The article proposes a system for autonomous driving of robotic vehicles in this virtual city. This system is based on the application of interaction rules taken from molecular dynamics modeling with kinetic energy dissipation. The proposed model uses the concept of a cellular automaton. The tests were carried out using computer simulations. The work has shown the efficiency of the proposed approach. The recommended rules of interaction allow you to organize traffic without traffic jams and without traffic lights in such a virtual city with the maximum possible traffic congestion.
