Conflict situation of road infrastructure with highly automated vehicles
Abstract
Road signs and transport infrastructure significantly influence the behaviour of highly automated or autonomous vehicles. However, automation is not always an advantage in consideration of the current road infrastructure. It can occur that highly automated vehicles are more compliant with traffic rules, causing selfdriving functions to perform unexpected interventions while vehicles are moving. However, in many cases this can also be a problem because the rules themselves are not always appropriate. In practice, this means that autonomous functions make it easier for self-driving and non-selfdriving vehicles to conflict in certain situations. This paper highlights the potential dangers and uncertainties of highly automated or autonomous vehicles in the context of the current – conventional – transport infrastructure.
