Abstract
The impressive results of the 2007 DARPA Urban
Challenge showed that fully autonomous vehicles are
technologically feasible with current intelligent vehi-
cle hardware. It is natural to ask how current trans-
portation infrastructure can be improved when most ve-
hicles are driven autonomously in the future. Dres-
ner and Stone proposed a new intersection control
mechanism called Autonomous Intersection Manage-
ment (AIM) and showed in simulation that intersec-
tion control can be made more efficient than the tra-
ditional control mechanisms such as traffic signals and
stop signs. In this paper, we extend the study to the real
