In mid of May, the first Grand Cooperative Driving Challenge (GCDC) was held in Helmond, the Netherlands. The GCDC is an open competition for between research groups on the topic of cooperative, autonomous driving. This time, the teams had to develop a communicating vehicle controller that performs longitudinal control of the vehicle in a platooning setup. The vehicles are exchanging their positions, velocities and accelerations via wireless communication. The controller should keep a small distance to the vehicle ahead without falling below a given safety distance. Lateral control, i.e. steering, was done by a human safety driver.
In contrast to previous demonstrations on platooning and car-to-car communication the GCDC was using heterogeneous vehicles ranging from a small Smart to large trucks. Also, the communication hardware, the controller design, and the on-board sensors were different so that the setup resembled very much a real setup of future traffic scenarios.
The competition was held on the A270, a highway in the Netherlands between Helmond and Eindhoven which was closed for public during the competition weekend. During several runs on Saturday and Sunday the participating vehicles were grouped into 2x2 platoons on parallel lanes of the highway and waiting for a green traffic light (urban scenario). After the first traffic light turned green the first two platoons on each of the two lanes had to form a platoon with the vehicles at the next traffic light and proceed to the highway scenario. A vehicle of the organizers served as lead vehicle which defined the velocity to drive for both platoons. By accelerating and decelerating periodically, it tested the damping behavior of the platoon participants. After each run, the teams in both platoons obtained points based on several criteria, e.g. which platoon is the shortest and most homogeneous. Finally, all points were summed up and the winner was determined. The race turned out to be very exciting. While on the first competition day some teams had problems to run their vehicle in safe operation the runs on the second day proceeded smoothly.
The GCDC started with a preparation and test week where all participants worked on their vehicles on the campus of TNO in Helmond which organized the whole event. The atmosphere between the teams was cooperative and friendly. The teams came from Europe, however, some teams were also supported by universities from overseas. In order of final ranking, these teams were AnnieWAY, Halmstad, Chalmers, Scoop, Autopia, Ateam, Mekar, Futurum, and Latvia.

The biggest inefficiency that you’ll find on the highway has to do with the acceleration and deceleration of the cars around you. This creates all these empty pockets of road and it has a weird domino effect on traffic.
