Autonomous vehicles and safe road infrastructure
Abstract
The development of automated vehicles showed a rapid pace in the recent past, however less attention has been paid to the implications of vehicle automation on safe infrastructure design. A research initiative addressing this gap entitled "Autonomous vehicles and safe road infrastructure” was launched in 2019. Five topic areas have been formed as follows: 1) Road design (certain design aspects of intersections, cross-section and road sections); 2) Detection and perception (road work zones, traffic calming devices, road edges, road markings, and traffic signs); 3) Pavement design (implications of AVs on pavement design); 4) Vulnerable road users (communication and behavioral adaptation); 5) Miscellaneous topics (e.g. conflict analysis). As a result of several brainstorming sessions involving researchers, road operators, vehicle engineers and IT scientists these broad areas have been broken down into specific research tasks. This paper gives an introduction of these research topics.
