Abstract

This study is aimed at identifying the major challenges in the infraestructure design, operation and maintenance to allow the implementation of Autonomous Vehicles in interurban and urban road network.

Abstract

There is a general enthusiastic approach toward autonomous vehicles, e.g. they are claimed to be the breakthrough solution for a drastic reduction of road accidents, largely caused by human errors. However, their current and potential negative effects have not been adequately addressed [...]

Abstract

The increasing need for mobility has brought about significant changes in transportation infrastructures. Inefficiencies cause enormous losses of time, decrease in the level of safety for both vehicles and pedestrians, high pollution, degradation of quality of life, and huge waste [...]

Abstract

Internet traffic from mobile users has been growing sharply. To meet the needs of those"br"users, it is important to expand capacity of networks that provide Internet access in cost effective"br"ways. This capacity has traditionally been provided by cellular networks. However,"br"expanding [...]

Abstract

The wide deployment of vehicle automation and communication systems (VACS) in the next decade is expected to influence traffic performance on freeways. Apart from safety and comfort, one of the goals is the alleviation of traffic congestion which is a major and challenging problem [...]

Abstract

Current test and validation procedures for automated and connected driving functions use field tests on public roads primarily to identify unknown critical scenarios. These scenarios are then validated or varied within simulations or on closed proving grounds. In order to validate [...]

Abstract

Merging is one of the most critical scenarios that can be found in road transport. In this maneuver, the driver is subjected to a high mental load due to the large amount of information he handles, while making decisions becomes a crucial issue for their safety and those in adjacent [...]

Abstract

Driver inattention is one of the leading causes of traffic crashes worldwide. Providing the driver with an early warning prior to a potential collision can significantly reduce the fatalities and level of injuries associated with vehicle collisions. In order to monitor the vehicle [...]
