Explore the most significant developments in automated driving technologies over the past year, including automaker announcements, regulatory policies, market trends, and ongoing projects in regions like Europe, Japan, and the USA. Discover key issues that need addressing in the next three years, such as legal matters, public acceptance, human factors, and infrastructure integration. Uncover the current efforts and projects addressing legal issues, human factors, traffic flow, and testing and certification in the realm of automated vehicles.

Two Most Significant Developments of Past Year? • automaker announcements of commercial availability >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • automakers announcing target years for introduciton > • automakers “selling” based on automation • automakers “behind” working on catch-up • NHTSA Policy Document >> • international commitees:SAE, ISO • interest in automation across industry • market availability of low cost laser sensors, stereo vision • Europe: Amsterdam Group: ITS Corridor > • USA: state level involvement (state vs federal roles) • activity: TRB conferences etc – “serioius” • public-private-academia dialogue & formal exchange >>>> • Japan – start public projects with automakers and infrastructure players (Prime Minister advocacy) >>>> • EuroNCAPanouncment re AEB, EU AEB regulation for trucks • Availability of active safety systems increased significantly
Two Most Significant Developments of Past Year? • Japan: Smartway real ITS Spot services • legal issues for automation actively discussed >> • human factors for automation • Tokyo Olympics 2020 – a driver for automation? • EU: public authority interest at local level • now developing EU JP US roadmap • formal government interaction
What are Key Issues to be Addressed in Next 3 Years? • responsibility for crashes (legal) >>>>>>>>> • chain of responsibility • change management – whats new re legal issues of automation? • make legal issues more clear • public understanding: >> • understand automated vheicles will have crashes • driver acceptance • reliability and security for automated driving >>>>> • minimize false alarms • human factors >> • mental models evolving – understand this deeper • transport efficiency, holistic chain for transport > • mobility – how will people actualy use autoamted cars? • human machine interfaces >> • support for disabled persons • automation for urban areas • external info to automated vehicle (infrastructure) • roadside infrastructure > • role and responsibilty of road operators • internationally comparable field trials for 1-3 • (helps social acceptance) • funding for joint work (OEMs & road operators) • open international standards > • robustnes of sensors • implicatinos re V2X (traffic management)
What are Key Issues to be Addressed in Next 3 Years? • implications of mixed traffic on traffic flow >> • improving positioning system • for early deployment, address road traffic law • testing and validation framework>>> • how to certify capable • role of simulation • defining scenarios • systems are safe and can handle all scenarios • standardization needed for decision logic of vehicles (so vehicles act consistently) • national conventions on to international • safe operation among pedestrians • assessment in many environments (urban, rural) • strategy for introduction • integration of mobile devices and automated driving • cybersecurity • introduction scenrios for commercial vehicles, transit, etc • human level variations; cultural, age, etc • how to deveop policy and standards to track/grow with human factors issues
What is Now Being Addressed? • Legal Issues • EU/Response4) • EU/CityMobil • USA/TTI studies • USA/legal • Consumer Cars • Nissan (and others) • EU/Adaptive • Trucks • Japan/Energy ITS • Volvo • US/FHWA EAR: UC-B & Auburn • Industrial Vehicles • truckOff-road: Volvo • Test & Certification • California/PATH • Human Factors • USA/NHTSA-VTTI • Traffic Flow • Japan MLIT • Public Road Testing • EU/Dutch DAVI • Japan / Sag Congestion & CACC • EU/CityMobil • Michigan I69 testing (trrucks) • Global Collaboration • Government Tri-Lateral Cooperation • EU VRA • standards • US Army
What is Not Being Addressed? • Transit alternative to private cars • shared use vehicles • solving last mile problem • automation integrated into digital infrastructure • system safety: “as safe as today’s driving” • or better than human • more holistic view on what automation will contribute • driving forces and counter-forces • winners? losers?
