Summary
In this paper, an environment for prototyping algorithms for the autonomous intersection management of vehicles is presented. It is based on a colony of Khepera mini robots that cooperate via radio communication to enable a collision-free passing of an intersection. The design of the environment, a simple distributed algorithm, and results from first experiments are described. Compared to other work, multiple robots can pass the intersection simultaneously.
