Preparing Road Infrastructure to Accommodate Connected and Automated Vehicles: System-Level Perspective
Tariq Usman Saeed, Bortiorkor Nii Tsui Alabi, Samuel Labi
Abstract
Highway agencies seek knowledge of the changes in infrastructure design and management necessary for connected and automated vehicle (CAV) operations. This technical note presents preliminary and partial results of ongoing research. The note establishes a classification of roadway infrastructure, and discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with infrastructure preparation for CAVs. The technical note also identifies stakeholder roles regarding CAV infrastructure provision, and discusses uncertainties regarding CAV market penetration and level of autonomy during the CAV transition period.
