1. A function allocation system (FAS) comprising:
a communication module;
a data module; and
a computing module,
wherein said FAS is configured to perform a function allocation method comprising:
analyzing a scene;
analyzing system functional demands, wherein analyzing system functional demands comprises constructing a required feature set {Bn, Cw}, where Bn represents a control level and Cw represents a function feature; and
constructing a scene requirement feature set Sm,n,w={Am, Bn, Cw}, where Am represents a sub-scene, Bn represents said control level, and Cw represents said function feature;
analyzing system functional restrictions;
determining a function allocation using a function demand-constraint matching algorithm; and
allocating sensing functions, decision-making functions, and control functions to a connected automated vehicle (CAV) system and to a connected automated highway (CAH) system according to said function allocation.
