4 INTRODUCTION What will be the role of infrastructure in connected cars & autonomous driving? Transition timetime The full automated future is still far. We will see a long transition period where all types of vehicles coexist in different proportions Today (conventional, connected and autonomous). Tomorrow In this long period of mixed traffic the infrastructure plays a crucial role. The infrastructure needs to be digitalized to support CV/AV. The TMC needs to guarantee a secure and smooth travel for all users 4

6 INFRAMIX INFRAMIX - Road infrastructure ready for mixed vehicle traffic flows Prepares road infrastructure for mixed vehicles traffic flows (June 2017-May 2020 ) Towards a hybrid road infrastructure: Design new and upgraded existing physical & digital road infrastructure elements Design novel signaling and visualization elements Design and implement novel traffic estimation, monitoring and control strategies Develop a co-simulation environment Develop hybrid testing system Evaluate user s appreciation and acceptance Evaluate traffic safety Create a Road Infrastructure Classification Scheme 6

7 INFRAMIX Challenge of Hybrid Road Infrastructure Traffic management Traffic modeling, traffic flow estimation methods for mixed traffic Traffic strategies (speed lane recommendations, advice change of lane ) Real time management Understand different TMC architectures and combinations (vehicle-based, cluster of V2V, connected vehicles, V2I-based traffic control ) Updated physical infrastructure Visual and electronic signaling to inform and guide both conventional and automated vehicles New lane marking Variable message signal Sensors (cameras, loops ) Segregation elements Update digital infrastructure Communications (short range G5, wifi & long term LTE-V) / Low latency Cloud solutions, Big data (integration with 3rd parties) Highly accurate digital maps Define the specific dedicated ITS messages Cybersecurity 7

8 INFRAMIX Autopistas coordinate WP4 (System integration and testing) pilot in Spain (Autopistas) and Austria (ASFINAG). Lead the task of defining the new traffic signs and visual elements Participate in: Definition of scenarios (use cases) Definition and analysis of new traffic management models Design and develop new elements by the infrastructure, and the chain of information to the traffic management center The definition of the necessary new security framework The definition of new business models 8

9 INFRAMIX Dynamic lane assignment to automated driving Roadworks zones Bottlenecks Selection criteria: 1. expected impact on traffic flow 2. expected impact on traffic safety 3. importance of the challenges faced, in the sense that if not handled in a proper and timely way, they will negatively influence the introduction of automated vehicles on the roads 4. ability to generalize on the results (applicable in other scenarios and environments) 9

12 InfrastructureSupport levels for Automated Driving (ISAD) Digital information provided to AVs Level Name Description Digital map with static road signs VMS, warnings, incidents, weather Microscopic traffic situation Guidance: speed, gap, lane advice A Cooperative driving Based on the real-time information on vehicle movements, the infrastructure is able to guide AVs (groups of vehicles or single vehicles) in order to optimize the overall traffic flow. Digital infrastructure Conventional infrastructure B C D E Cooperative perception Dynamic digital information Static digital information / Map support Conventional infrastructure / no AV support Infrastructure is capable of perceiving microscopic traffic situations and providing this data to AVs in real-time All dynamic and static infrastructure information is available in digital form and can be provided to AVs. Digital map data is available with static road signs. Map data could be complemented by physical reference points (landmarks signs). Traffic lights, short term road works and VMS need to be recognized by AVs. Conventional infrastructure without digital information. AVs need to recognise road geometry and road signs. INFRAMIX paper Road infrastructure support levels for automated driving was published in the Proceedings of 25th ITS World Congress, September X X X X X X X X X X

13 CONCLUSION The infrastructure will play a key role, using physical and digital elements (INFRAMIX), in the transition time while autonomous and conventional vehicles coexist. Road infrastructure can provide additional information for on-board decisions of CAVs Infrastructures will have to be adapted to guarantee the circulation of connected autonomous vehicles The roads will need to be certified in order to guarantee safety. The classification of adaptation of the infrastructure for autonomous vehicles (segmentation) will be required. The potential of ISAD in mixed traffic Investments to digitize the infrastructure are an opportunity for road operators. EU-funded research projects facilitate the incorporation of new technologies. Connected autonomous vehicles are creating new value added services for customers, which may create new business opportunities 13
