Infrastructure changes to support automated vehicles on rural and metropolitan highways and freeways: audit specification (module 1)

By 2025, it is predicted that most new vehicles will be equipped with systems that can read traffic lines and signs. The purpose of this project (FSP6088) is to identify areas of current physical and digital road infrastructure on key highways and freeways in Australia and New Zealand that automated vehicles using machine vision systems can and cannot interpret. This first module recommends specifications to be used in an audit of road infrastructure. These specifications cover line marking, traffic signs, route and lane discontinuities, temporary conditions due to roadworks and incidents, cellular data coverage and availability of map data. The development of these specifications follows an extensive review of local and international literature, initiatives and lessons learned from field trials, complemented by engagement with local and international industry stakeholders.
