Improving the Readiness of Roads for the Era of Automated Vehicles : Focusing on Road Design and Planning
Chapter I. Introduction Chapter II. Automated Vehicle Concepts and Technologies 1. Automated Vehicle Concepts Chapter III. Scenariosfor Introducing Automated Vehicles 1. Prospect of Introducing Automated Vehicles
Chapter IV. Projects Required to Get Roads Ready for Automated Vehicles 1. Road Improvements Required to Accommodate Automated Vehicles
Chapter V. Conclusions
Summary This article was motivated to help the road sectors prepare for the commercialization of automated vehicles. In this regard, relevant concepts and technologies were reviewed, and then plausible scenarios on the operation of automated vehicles were investigated in detail. Furthermore, near-term projects related to road design and planning were derived in consideration of the road improvements required to accommodate automated vehicles under highly plausible scenarios.
Apart from these limitations, this article is meaningful as an initial attempt to help road sectors respond properly to the era of automated vehicles. Hopefully, there will be follow-up studies to further develop the results of this article. To this end, more thorough reviews of the technology options and additional market research would be worthwhile. In particular, pilot studies to revise the manuals or standards on road design and planning need to be launched as soon as possible.
