Abstract
(EN)

A method includes receiving a request for access associated with a selected one of a plurality of autonomous vehicles in an array that comprises a plurality of columns, wherein the selected autonomous vehicle is in a first one of the columns and blocked by one or more other autonomous vehicles in the first column, and then computing coordinated movements for one or more of the autonomous vehicles to provide the requested access, wherein the autonomous vehicles blocking the selected autonomous vehicle in the first column are cyclically moved from the front of the first column to the back of a second one of the columns as autonomous vehicles in the second column are moved from the front of the second column to the back of the first column and the autonomous vehicles remaining in the first and second columns are moved forward.
