== Communication System ==<br />
<br />
Units communicate via a dedicated WiFi network using UDP packets to minimize network traffic congestion. Packets contain the Sender’s ID, Destination ID and pre-defined messages to minimize packet size and latency. The packet structure is shown below:<br />
<br />
[Sender, Destination, Message] <br />
Sender = 3 bytes, Destination = 3 bytes,message = 1 byte<br />
<br />
These messages are routed by a central communication point called the “Brainbox”, that is responsible for:<br />
Real-time system diagnostics <br />
System state management<br />
Chain structure formation and organisation<br />
Assigns the role of each Unit<br />
Updating Followers’ Infrared targe<br />
<br />
<br />
== Dynamic Chain Formation ==<br />
<br />
The developed cooperative behaviour allows the units to form a chain with designated ‘Leader’ and ‘Follower’ units to maintain a “real-time” census of members participating in a formation. <br />
<br />
The units participating in the formation take one of two roles:<br />
Leader - follows a predefined path or can be remotely controlled. <br />
Follower - tracks encoded Infrared signal containing the Leader’s unique IDl to seek and maintain a position in the formation.</div>A1650033https://projectswiki.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au/projects/index.php?title=Projects:2017s1-160_Cooperating_Autonomous_Vehicles&diff=8901Projects:2017s1-160 Cooperating Autonomous Vehicles2017-10-27T05:19:32Z<p>A1650033: </p>
