Join us for a webinar that delves into the latest on connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and the pivotal role that interaction with physical infrastructure plays in their integration into our transport system.
In this session, we will present a comprehensive report that identifies and explores those physical infrastructure practices that matter most to CAVs. Just like human drivers, CAVs need to understand line and pavement markings, electronic and non-electronic signs, and traffic signals. Computer sensing and computer processing, however, differ to humans, and differ between different and evolving systems used in Active Safety Systems (ASS), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and Automated Driving Systems (ADS).
Drawing insights from a review of Austroads publications and latest research, this webinar uncovers the latest industry knowledge and physical infrastructure requirements.
Discover the latest practices and standards, and where clear agreements have emerged, recommendations for effective changes will be unveiled. Furthermore, we will examine areas where further study, monitoring, and industry engagement are needed, ensuring a holistic approach to accommodating future developments.
This webinar will help agency decision-makers preparing for future physical infrastructure CAV support practices. The knowledge presented in this report is based on robust evidence and expert opinions, providing a snapshot of the current landscape while remaining adaptable to the evolving CAV industry and its technological advancements.
The webinar will be presented by David Yee, Andrew Somers and Dr Meifang Lai.
There will be question and answer opportunities during the session.
