Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV’s) are vehicles that use different communication technologies to communicate with other vehicles, infrastructure, the cloud, etc. With the information received from the sensors present, the vehicles analyze and take necessary steps for smooth, collision-free driving. This thesis talks about the cruise control system along with the intersection collision avoidance system based on Petri net models. It consists of two internal controllers for velocity and distance control, respectively, and three external ones for collision avoidance. Fault-tolerant redundant controllers are designed to keep these three controllers in check. The model is built using a PN toolbox and tested for various scenarios. The model is also validated, and its distinct properties are analyzed.
