Specification, Implementation and Verification of Dynamic Group Membership for Vehicle Coordination

• New advanced traffic management solutions with fully or semi-autonomous vehicles that communicate over a wireless interface to coordinate their driving decisions create new challenges in distributed computing. In this paper we address the problem of dynamic group membership in three stages. First, we propose three criteria to specify correctness and performance of the group views created by such algorithms in terms of soundness, completeness and freshness. Second, we develop a group membership protocol tailored for vehicular coordination. Finally, we show through simulation and model-based verification that the protocol does indeed meet the criteria and provide at least 95% perfect group membership views under as adverse conditions as 70% packet loss or very high churn rate.
