A Genetic Algorithm Approach for Expedited Crossing of Emergency Vehicles in Connected and Autonomous Intersection Traffic

Figure 1

DTOTs of two conflicting vehicles. represents the th occupancy in a vehicle ’s DTOT. Note that occupancies in this figure are intentionally made very sparse for clear illustration purposes. DTOT starts with the occupancy in which the vehicle’s front bumper first comes into contact with the entering line of its lane of an intersection, and ends with the occupancy that the vehicle is completely out of the intersection region.
