E N D
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?
