The aim of this system is to provide safe, secure and fast transportation on highways. This system uses both road sensors and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). Since no human interaction is allowed in this system, the driver mistakes are reduced to zero. Based on the road sensors and the GNSS, the system is able to adjust the speeds and the following distances between vehicles. The messaging system is also designed for this puppet master architecture, which allows vehicles to communicate with the central components of the system. Index Terms—Automated transportation systems I. highway, never been eliminated [11]. The effect of human drivers is much more different than the effect of other autonomous cars. While controlled by a centralized system, the autonomy of the autonomous car is somehow restricted. The controller separates the shared data in terms of location and sends the agents in a certain region. By sharing the location, the vehicles are able to make adjustments to their velocity, acceleration or direction accordingly. They are also able to communicate with each other to negotiate their priority. This human-like behavior will lead the vehicles to predict others’ behaviors and avoid a possible accident. As a result of intelligent agent-like approach, we can observe that imposing emotions on autonomous cars reduces the risk of accidents [6]. In this centralized system, each car is driven by the centralized system and they are unable to interfere with the human. Since every single car is given orders by only one decision mechanism, the cars will not collide. The .
