SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING MOVEMENTS OF VEHICLES

Abstract: a computer system controls movements of a plurality of vehicles in a confined geographical area. a subset of static nodes defines a topological representation of the at least one vehicle path, each static node further having a set of vehicle-related threshold conditions. the system obtains real-time vehicle travelling profiles of the plurality of vehicles; determines, for each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, a vehicle location at a given point of time based on data from the static nodes and the obtained real-time vehicle travelling profiles; generates a traffic planning data structure containing data indicative of the determined vehicle location at the given point in time and the positional order of the static node occupied by the vehicle; determines that at least one vehicle of the plurality of vehicles exceeds at least one vehicle-related threshold condition of the set of vehicle-related threshold conditions; applies a cost function on the data contained in the generated traffic planning data structure to identify an alternative movement control of the at least one vehicle through the at least one vehicle path; updates the traffic planning data structure to an updated traffic planning data structure; and feeds motion commands to the plurality of vehicles.
