Intelligent, Collaborative Transportation System
Vehicles, robots, and other autonomous devices could soon work with people on their transportation plans thanks to researchers at MIT who are developing systems capable of negotiating and determining the best route. Ultimately such systems could be used to control autonomous vehicles like personal aircraft and driverless cars, but in the short term, the researchers are developing systems to allow conventional vehicles to work with their drivers to plan routes and schedules. This simulation shows the system's possibilities, with improved plan diagnosis.

00:00:07 this is david authorization confirmed let's go to boeing there are two alternate airports harvey field and payne field which is your preferred alternate field any other requirements there is a small storm between sanderson field and the boeing company
00:00:33 i want to be there in two minutes anything else i want to photograph the space needle anything else i also want to photograph the pike place market anything else no so you want to get to the boeing company in two minutes with stops at space needle and pike place market yeah okay
00:01:01 we can do this if we increase the time to five minutes is that okay no if we skip space needle it will still take four minutes to get there is that okay no if we skip pike place market it will still take four minutes to get there is that okay that's fine okay i have a valid plan
00:01:30 begin okay there is a change in the weather condition i am replanning the path the current destination is unavailable diverting to the backup landing site painfield you
